We get asked by readers all the time “What are the best cruelty free makeup brands?”

Everyone we know shops for ethical products in the supermarket these days. It’s often harder to find or even remember to check our makeup for it’s sustainable and ethical creds.

And what should we look for when we do want to buy cruelty-free makeup?

Well, a good place to start is to watch out for PETA’s “cruelty-free” mark which means that the makeup company won’t allow animal testing even in their supply chain.

Or you could just buy British because the UK made animal testing for makeup illegal in 1998.

But the best way to get it right is to buy from our list of favorite cruelty free makeup brands.
