As more and more people are becoming conscious about spending their money on products that are not tested on animals, cruelty-free cosmetics are becoming more and more popular.

It is a myth that cruelty-free brands are more expensive. Many good drugstore brands are now taking the stand of not testing on animals.
Now let's have a look at what does cruelty-free cosmetics means.

What does 'cruelty-free' mean?
A product that does not involve in any testing on animals on its entire production life cycle is called cruelty free.

Cruelty-free VS vegan product:
A vegan product is not necessarily cruelty-free. Vegan products do not have any animal-derived ingredients in it, where cruelty-free products are simply products that have not experimented on animals.

How do you know if a cosmetic is cruelty-free?

The internationally recognized symbol for cruelty-free brands is one Leaping Bunny. By using it, companies confirm that no animal testing was done during the development of the product.

THE BEST OF CRUELTY-FREE COSMETICS:

Many high-end and drugstore cosmetic brands have ...
... started to produce non-experimental products based on customer demand. Brands are now using alternative methods like using tissues and cells from humans, using the computer model or chemical method. And these procedures are faster, cheaper, and safer and smarter than animal testing.
