From the beginning this resource was envisioned as an aspiring community of like minded people who believe in kindness towards all living beings regardless of the number of legs they stand on. Our aim was and is to show and educate our readers on the cruelty free, ethical and sustainable brands. There is always an alternative to non-cruelty free cosmetics, we believe in this.
We recognise that bringing new habits to your life could be challenging, this is why we believe that no step towards cruelty free living is too small. We embrace, encourage and support our readers no matter how far their cruelty free journeys took them. Whether they already switched all their purchases to cruelty free alternatives and are just curious to discover new brands or they recently started learning about animal testing and would like to know where to start. Please be assured that everybody is welcome on this platform.
We embrace, encourage and support our readers no matter how far their cruelty free journeys took them.

With all of this in mind we feel that it is important to give our readers a list of companies to avoid. Sadly there are still too many non cruelty free brands on the beauty market and majority of these brands are widely available and their products are loved by many customers. Where possible we suggest alternative cruelty free brands and would love to know if you found a good substitution to the non cruelty free cosmetics, please let us know and we will share this information with our readers.
Please note that the majority of the brands below do not test on animals themselves or commission testing but they do consciously sell their products in markets like mainland China where animal testing is obligatory by law.

Every day we reach out to more and more brands. We are aware that some of the brands on our cruelty free lists only have a few products to offer and other brands only sell their products in local markets. We believe if the brand is cruelty free and has the right values it deserves to be added to our lists and be discovered by our readers.
