Recently, customers have become more selective about the companies they choose to buy products from. Most want a brand that aligns with their values, such as being vegan and cruelty-free. Cruelty-free products are those produced by a company without animal testing during any development, manufacture, or distribution stage. As an essential reminder, every person has a unique skin type and needs, so be sure to do a patch test before using any products. Without further ado, here is a list of cruelty-free makeup brands.
Milani
Milani Cosmetics delivers high-quality products at affordable prices that fit the needs of every skin tone, type, and style. The brand is 100% cruelty-free and certified by PETA; they don’t test on animals or allow others to test on their behalf, and they require their suppliers to certify that any materials used to make Milani products do the same. Shop their products at Target, Ulta, Walmart, Amazon and their Official Site.
