In a day and age when testing on animals frowns upon more and more, it’s actually become a marketing ploy to tell customers that your products are cruelty-free. When a product is cruelty-free is a label for products or activities that don’t harm animals anywhere in the world. Products that are tested on animals are not considered cruelty-free because testing on animals is often painful and causes millions of animals to die every year.
If you’re someone who wants to know what’s in your makeup bag, this list is for you. I’m going to let you guys know about some makeup brands you didn’t know isn’t cruelty-free.
These are 5 makeup brands you might don’t know that aren’t cruelty-free:
1) NARS
This brand has a lot of great products and also used to be cruelty-free. Unfortunately, it no longer cruelty-free as of 2020. This happens because they join China’s market. According to the source, your products have to be tested on animals if you are in China’s market. That is the law there. China has a huge market for cosmetics.
2) L’Oréal
Even though the website stated that their products never got tested on animals, they are actually not cruelty-free. This is because the brand also joins China’s market. They also have stated in fine print that they will test their products on animals if the situation there told them to do so.
3) Morphe
This brand has become a staple in the makeup community as they claimed they are vegan and cruelty-free. Yet according to a source, Morphe is still not certified as a brand that is cruelty-free. This does not mean that they are not cruelty-free, but they are still not certified as cruelty-free for whatever reason.
4) Make-Up Forever
This brand is not a cruelty-free brand because they have never admitted that they do not test their products on animals. This brand also joins China’s market and is not vegan. The ingredients contain palm oil and the harvesting of palm oil has caused so many extinctions for the environment of orangutan.
5) Chanel
Chanel does not have an official statement saying that they are cruelty-free as their ingredients are tested on animals and then they tested the products again on animals after they are done being made.
