What Does "Cruelty-Free" Really Mean in the Beauty Industry?

Are your favorite brands actually cruelty-free?

Tatcha
You probably know Tatcha best for its eye candy aesthetic and luxurious lineup of skin care products, but it's also worth pointing out that the brand is cruelty-free (and philanthropic, too). We've been loving The Silk Canvas, $52, lately.

RMS Beauty
In addition to being one of the top "clean" makeup brands, RMS Beauty does not test on animals. You can't go wrong with the iconic Living Luminizer, $38, and the multi-tasking Lip2Cheek, $36, is one of our favorite lip/cheek hybrids.

Catrice
We've long been fans of German drugstore brand Catrice — it's tough to beat its ultra-comfy Vitamin Lip Treatment, $4.99, and its HD Liquid Coverage Foundation, $10.99 serves as a great dupe for the popular Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation, $34. And now, you have another reason to shop the brand: It's completely cruelty-free.

Milk Makeup
With innovations like its high-performing Kush High Volume Mascara, $24, that replaces the traditional beeswax with CBD oil to create vegan formulas, Milk Makeup is definitely a cruelty-free and vegan brand worth watching.

Yes To
Did you know that popular drugstore skin care brand Yes To is cruelty-free? That means you can indulge in well-loved offerings like the Yes To Cucumbers Calming Mask Removing Wipes, $2.99, sans guilt.
