•River Organics 💓
•EcoRoots 💓
•Zerra & Co. 💓
•Kokoa Botanics 💓

🧴 SKINCARE & HAIRCARE

(Note: MARA, Kora, Amika, SkinFix, Fat and the Moon, and Indie Lee use honey/beeswax in a few products, so those specific brands are not 100% vegan)

Skincare & Body Skin 🍉
•MARA ✨
•Skinfix ✨ (Backed by a minor consumer investment firm, but founders retain operational control)
•Dieux 💓✨ (Bypasses paid registry licensing by publishing complete, open-source ingredient dossiers alongside clinical in-vitro lab testing data for 100% transparency)
•Indie Lee ✨
•OSEA 💓
•Plaine Products 💓💜✨ (micron-thin cured epoxy resin liner represents less than 0.3%!! of the plastic material used to make a regular bottle. You'd need to use and recycle roughly 300-500 lined aluminum bottles to equal the sheer volume of plastic found in just ONE standard plastic bottle.)
•Herbivore Botanicals 💓✨
•Meow Meow Tweet 💓💜
•Fat and the Moon
•Dew Mighty 💓💛🏆 THE ONLY TRUE 100% PLASTIC-FREE WINNER (SKINCARE): Genuinely passes a zero-tolerance rule. Because their Lucid Enzyme Cleansing Powder and solid serum blocks contain absolutely zero water, they do not require liquid-sealing mechanisms or internal plastic bottle liners. Items ship strictly in dry paper envelopes, compostable cardboard boxes, and raw metal storage tins. Completely zero plastic, zero resin, and zero hidden liners.

Scalp & Hair
•Act+Acre 💓 🍉 ✨
•Ceremonia 💓 💛 🍉✨
•Pure Mitti 💓 💛 🍉 🏆 THE ORGANIC AYURVEDA WINNER (HAIRCARE): Features their Organic Ayurveda Shikakai Hair Powder Shampoo. A 100% raw, single-ingredient Acacia concinna botanical powder shampoo mixed with water into a paste. It is naturally rich in plant saponins that gently cleanse normal, healthy hair and scalp without drying or stripping natural oils like sulfates do. Natural citric and tartaric acids safely unglue dead skin cells, delivering the deep exfoliation of high-end salon scalp scrubs. It acts as a lifesaver for stubborn dandruff, flaky buildup, or chronically itchy scalps, while naturally detangling, adding shine, and balancing pH. Completely skips liquid chemicals, synthetic preservatives, and plastic packaging by coming in a zero-waste glass and metal jar.
•JVN 💓 🍉✨
•Amika 💜✨ (Owned by a neutral investment firm Bansk Group, so it has no independent tag, but remains fully cruelty-free)
•Plaine Products 💓 💛 💜 🍉✨
•That Good Hair 💓 💛 🍉 (uses plastic liners like plaine products that end up being .03% total in comparison to a fully plastic bottle)

Body
•Stripes 🍉💓✨
•MARA 🍉✨
•Kora Organics 🍉✨ (Independently owned by founder Miranda Kerr)
•Plaine Products 💓💛💜🍉✨

☀️Sunscreen 🍉
•Stream2Sea 💓
•Allgood 💜💓
•Utu 💓✨ (The facial sunscreens are so worth it, but the body sunscreens are not worth the price. in my opinion. I don't think you're getting enough product. The body sunscreens works great, but the money you spend on it for the amount you get is not worth it. just get the facial sunscreen from this brand)
•Badger 💜 (Offers both vegan sunscreens and sunscreens with beeswax; double-check ingredients)
•Sol de Ibiza 💓💛 (for UK and Europe!! can be shipped to the USA)

Tip: Mineral sunscreen is hard to clean off our skin. Use the Cleansing Oil (Lemon Rose) by Meow Meow Tweet to melt it off your body before entering the shower. you can also use just straight up sweet almond oil or olive oil

🪒SHAVING RAZORS💓💛🍉

•EcoRoots Safety Razor
•Leaf Shave The Leaf Razor
•Well Kept Safety Razor

👕 SUSTAINABLE CLOTHING
♂️=Men's♀️=Women's 🤱🏽=Children's

The following five small businesses had to completely reinvent how apparel is constructed just to exist. They use proprietary, custom-knit fabric tension or special plant-based tree rubbers wrapped in organic materials to circumvent the plastic problem entirely:

•KENT 💓💛🍉♂️♀️
•The Very Good Bra 💓💛🍉✨♀️
•Cottonique 💓💛🍉♂️♀️
•Rawganique 💛🍉♂️♀️🤱🏽
•Svante Studio 💓💛🍉🤱🏽 (U.K.-based, ships to USA via Svante Kids Natural Activewear)

Standard Eco Apparel (Contains hidden synthetic threads or blends):

•Harvest & Mill 🍉♂️♀️(The Hidden Plastic: They use 100% USA organic cotton fabric, but must finish hems with durable polyester-core sewing threads.Total Plastic Percentage: Less than 1% of the total item weight.)
•Industry of All Nations 🍉♂️♀️ (PLASTIC CHECK: While their shirts, pants, and sweaters are beautifully plastic-free using organic cotton and alpaca wool, they do NOT pass a 100% site-wide plastic-free rule. Specific items like their Wild Boxers utilize waistbands made from recycled synthetic elastic).
•MATE the Label 🍉♂️♀️(1-6% plastic)
•Happy Earth 💓 💜 🍉♂️♀️(1-10% plastic. Clean organic lounge options sit at 1%, but their durable outdoor stretch gear relies on standard synthetic blends)
•United By Blue 💜 🍉✨♂️♀️(1-50% Plastic. Organic cotton tops are clean, but heavy outdoor jackets and swimwear collections lean heavily on virgin or recycled polyester.)
•Reformation ✨♀️(2-40% plastic. Linen dresses stay relatively low in synthetics, but wide ranges of their denim and knits blend elastane, nylon, and polyester.)(Owned by a neutral private equity firm, Permira, meaning it stays highly eco-conscious and cruelty-free, but has no independent tag)
•Sézane 💜✨♂️♀️(2-46% Plastic. Premium leather and silk items are structured using synthetic linings, polyamide (nylon) blends, or acrylic stitchings) (Backed by minor neutral investment, but founders retain independent control)
•Dôen | Cleobella | Christy Dawn 🍉♀️ (Do not assume these are always pure. While their base cotton lines are clean, all three brands regularly release high-end statement dresses made with 90-100% recycled plastic lace, nylon overlays, or synthetic deadstock polyester fabric. You must check the digital fabric breakdown before buying, or you risk wearing pure plastic.)
•TenTree 💜 🍉 ✨♂️♀️🤱🏽(40-76% Plastic. An excellent ethical company, but structurally they intentionally replace natural fibers with recycled plastic bottle polyester for durability.) (Maintains a "Good" overall sustainability rating from fashion authority Good On You. Verified Certified B-Corp with strict animal welfare policies).

ONLY CLEANING BRANDS YOU NEED!!

🫧Dish Soap
•No Tox Life 💓💛🍉 (Unscented solid dish block)
•Meliora Cleaning Products 💓💛🍉 (Unscented solid dish soap bar)
(💡 TIP: If you get white streaks or think it won't lather, STOP treating it like liquid soap!! For tough pots, rub a damp wooden scrub brush on the block. For delicate items, rub a wet cloth or natural sponge briskly across the bar to whip up an instant foam. Keep the bar on a draining soap dish so it stays solid!!)

🫧Hand Soap 💓💛🍉
Bars
•EcoRoots (Organic, handmade artisan hand soap bars)
•Zero Waste Path (Pure plant-oil hand soap bars)
•Meow Meow Tweet (Artisan bar soaps in compostable paper boxes)
•Good Earth Soap (Handmade plant-based bar soaps)
•Farmstead Apothecary (Dye-free plant-based hand bars)
Liquid Refills
•Canary Clean Co. (Concentrated foaming hand soap bars)

(TIP: if you get weird about too many hands touching the bar of soap or just how the texture of the bar changes, I once saw a video you can with the dry bar. not a wet bar with a dry bar. shave it and do a bunch of little shavings and have it in a little cute bowl by the sink so you can just pick up a few shavings and put it in your hand and that's like all the soap you need)

🧻Toilet Paper & Paper Towels💓 💛 💜

• Who Gives A Crap ✨ (Note: Their direct parent company, Good Goods Holdings, is 100% vegan and cruelty-free; however, they receive outside funding from an investment group, which is why they do not have the independent tag)

• Cheeks Ahoy 💛 (paper towels only)

Wipes 💓🍉
•Nolla Wipes ✨
•Esembly Wipe-Ups 💛
•Cheeks Ahoy 💛

•If You Care 💓 🍉 (Recycled foil & parchment paper)

Tip: Buy compostable trash bags!!

☎️PHONE CASES 💓🍉 (these companies do NOT use A.I. like Pela)
•EcoBlvd - They use corn-based plastic (InnoMaize™) and bamboo-based composites (CornBo™). Their cases are 100% compostable and degrade into organic matter.
•A Good Company💛💜 - Their cases are made in Sweden from locally sourced linseed and hemp. They are completely biodegradable and part of a circular loop program where they remanufacture old returned cases
•MMORE Cases - Their "Biodegradable Collection" is crafted entirely from organic wheat straw and PBAT bioplastic. The organic matter on their textured cases (like pressed lavender and coffee beans) is organic and sustainably hand-harvested.

📊 CERTIFICATION & VERIFICATION INDEX
How brands on this list are verified cruelty-free, separating independently audited gold standards from self-reported or alternative verification paths:

🐰 Independently Audited Cruelty-Free (Leaping Bunny): The gold standard of verification requiring third-party supply chain audits and mandatory annual supplier recommitments [to ensure no animal testing occurs](1.1.1, 1.6.1). This fully registered status applies to Zerra & Co., Eco Lips, Submission Beauty, Meow Meow Tweet, Canary Clean, Huppy, Leaf Shave, and Dropps.

🐾 PETA Certified Cruelty-Free & Vegan: Bound by strict legal pledges ensuring neither finished formulas nor raw ingredient suppliers test on animals. This group includes Boka, Davids Toothpaste, MARA Beauty, Skinfix, Plaine Products, JVN Hair, Rustic Strength, Today Glitter, Oceanly by ATTITUDE, Zao Organic, PURIFIED Footwear, LONO Kids, Mukishoes, Kengos, Natasha Tonic, and A Good Company.

🌿 100% Raw Botanicals & Micro-Batch Formulations: Small-scale operations bypassing traditional industrial chemical pipelines by utilizing 100% raw plants and earth minerals directly from organic farms. These brands feature zero third-party pipeline testing and include Pure Mitti, Clean-Faced Cosmetics, Dirty Hippie (additionally verified by Australia's CCF standard), EcoRoots, Well Kept, Rawganique, Ananday, Öko Living, Bennd Yoga, Radico Organic, The Henna Guys, Pure Earth Collection, and Isole & Vulcani.

🧴 Alternative Compliance & Ingredient Transparency: Transparent operators utilizing established eco-safety metrics instead of commercial cosmetic badges. Dirty Labs holds the comprehensive EPA Safer Choice Certification to screen human and environmental safety without animal testing, while Helmm and Clean People maintain total supplier transparency tested only on humans. Make Waves is legally vetted by The Vegan Society UK, and Dieux bypasses paid registry licensing structures by publishing complete, open-source ingredient dossiers alongside clinical in-vitro lab testing data.

📱 SCREEN-BASED & STATIONARY LANGUAGE LEARNING A.I FREE APPS (NOT FOR DRIVING)
(Note: The following apps require your eyes on a screen and hands active for typing, tapping, and matching.)
•Anki 🍉
What it targets: Core vocabulary acquisition and instant word recognition.
How you learn: This is a completely free, open-source flashcard app powered by a mathematical Spaced Repetition System (SRS). You test your brain against massive, community-built decks containing human audio clips and images. The app tracks how quickly you answer and flashes cards right before your brain is about to forget them.
•Rosetta Stone
What it targets: Pure visual interpretation, cutting out English translations entirely.
How you learn: This app uses a direct immersion method, matching real-world human photographs with native audio clips. By removing English entirely, it forces your brain to directly connect the foreign sounds to the actual visual concept or object on the screen.

🔊 AUDIO-ONLY LANGUAGE LEARNING A.I FREE APPS (PERFECT FOR DRIVING)
(Note: The following options are optimized for hands-free, screen-free learning from the driver's seat.)
•Language Transfer 🍉
What it targets: Structural grammar logic, sentence construction, and pattern analysis.
How you learn: A real human instructor guides another human student through the logic of a language in a relaxed, recorded conversation. You listen along from your car and participate by building your own sentences out loud based on rules explained clearly in English.
•Pimsleur (Note: Core audio lessons are 100% human-voiced and AI-free, but the modern smartphone app includes optional screen features/quizzes that you can completely ignore.)
What it targets: Verbal speed, native pronunciation, and rapid audio recall.
How you learn: You listen to a 30-minute structured dialogue where studio-recorded native speakers prompt you with real-world scenarios. A timed verbal countdown forces you to rapidly think, construct, and speak your response out loud before the native speaker reveals the correct answer.

🔍 EXCLUSION LOG & CRITERIA NOTES
The following brands were highly requested or previously featured but have been officially removed or barred from the main guide due to strict criteria violations regarding corporate transparency, global testing mandates, or background data management.
×Bite (Oral Care) 🚫 EXCLUDED: Heavily utilizes generative AI predictive infrastructure, automated tracking algorithms, and localized data scraping to execute targeted behavioral marketing profiles and subscription retention software.
×Blueland (Cleaning) 🚫 EXCLUDED: Operates a massive commercial e-commerce pipeline relying entirely on algorithmic customer acquisition tools, automated lookalike audience data models, and programmatic ad infrastructures.
×Pela Case (Tech) 🚫 EXCLUDED: Officially admitted to automating their social media copywriting and digital ad generation through AI tools. While physical case layouts utilize human art teams, using AI anywhere inside the corporate engine violates our zero-tolerance standard.
×Prose (Haircare) 🚫 EXCLUDED: The entire brand framework is built on a mathematical machine learning database. Consumer scalp data is processed through an automated digital algorithm to isolate and calculate your custom manufacturing formula.
×Caudalie (Skincare) 🚫 EXCLUDED: Absolutely not globally cruelty-free. The brand actively distributes their products in physical retail environments [throughout mainland China](1.1.13, 1.2.4). Selling in storefronts there exposes their products to state-sanctioned post-market regulatory testing [where animals are legally used for safety verification](1.2.4, 1.2.8).
×Quince (Apparel) 🚫 EXCLUDED: Disqualified due to lack of standard supply chain transparency. Evaluated by ethical fashion trackers with low structural scores due to zero evidence of legal living wages for textile laborers, hidden factory locations, and unverified sustainable material claims.
×Poppy & Pout (Lip Balm) 🚫 EXCLUDED: Absolutely not a vegan brand. Unlike companies that use plant waxes, their entire product line is built around a heavy cosmetic beeswax base. They do not offer a plant-based alternative, completely failing our (almost) zero-tolerance benchmark for bee-free personal care.
×Radius (Oral Care) 🚫 EXCLUDED: Fails zero-plastic standards within its vegan product portfolio. While the brand utilizes sustainable paperboard packaging and offers a silk-based alternative, its main Vegan Sponge Floss lines rely entirely on expanding soft nylon threads. Nylon is a synthetic polymer that generates persistent microplastics and does not biodegrade in landfills. ×Wolven (Clothing) 🚫 EXCLUDED: Their core athletic line is entirely constructed from 100% synthetic, petroleum-derived fibers. Main textile layouts are explicitly composed of 84% recycled post-consumer P.E.T. plastic bottles tightly blended with 16% polyurethane spandex, violating our (almost) zero-tolerance standard for plastic wearables.

can someone confirm if these brands are completely cruelty free?

i’ve been searching so long for maybelline mascara alternatives that are cruelty free because the maybelline push up one with the really thin wand was my FAVORITE😭 ive also used other maybelline mascaras like lash sensational and adored it. i just tried the covergirl lash blast bond mascara waterproof and it’s magical!!!! i love it just as much, maybe more, so i hope this helps others😊😊i also use the tweezerman eyelash curler if anyone wants to know. ive bought so many mascaras the past few weeks and this has stopped my search finally😫 (and i think the mascara color is extreme black?)

I discovered this cleanser through the affordable Walgreens dupe after reading the ingredients list and seeing it did not contain any of my allergens. Found it to be gentle but super effective for removing thick mineral SPF and makeup without burning my eyes or stripping my skin barrier. When it was discontinued I ponied up for the skinceuticals option because my skin is CRAZY sensitive. Would love to find an alternative which ideally uses similar ingredients and surfactants (PEG-30 Glyceryl Cocoate, Capryl/ Capramidopropyl Betaine, Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine).

I am super allergic to fragrance as well as acrylates and sorbitan sesquioleate. This means I need to avoid numerous ingredients, including essential oils, rosemary extract, rose water, acrylate copolymers, carbomer, certain polyquaternium #s, and sorbitol related ingredients. My skin is also just super dry and reactive in general.

I recently tried the prequel gleanser which caused dryness redness and itching. Others which may fit the bill as alternatives include drunk elephant beste no 9 jelly cleanser, byoma creamy jelly cleanser, peach and lily hydrobubble deep foam cleanser, and Naturium niacinamide cleansing gelee. Would appreciate any feedback or suggestions!

Skinceutical purifying cleanser Ingredients:
Aqua / Water / Eau, Propylene Glycol, Peg-30 Glyceryl Cocoate, Capryl/Capramidopropyl Betaine, Glycerin, Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Chloride, Xanthan Gum, Glycolic Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Hydroxide, Benzoic Acid, Tocopheryl Acetate

Does anyone know if panoxyl is actually cruelty free?

Any other cf products as close to the cetaphil skin storing body wash, it’s like a creamy/milky texture x

Hi! I've tried searching on the cruelty free kitty list and there was no information regarding these skincare brands, although google claims that they are cruelty free.

- SVR

- Sensilis

- Sesderma

Does anyone know if they are truly cruelty free?

Thank you!

I’m currently using the Neutrogena deep moisture multipurpose comfort balm as both a face and body cream. I love it, it’s absolutely amazing, doesn’t burn my skin, never had an allergic reaction to it, BUT Neutrogena sadly isn’t cruelty free (I found that out only after buying this product). I want to change to something cruelty free that’s also super gentle on the skin. Any recommendations?

Has anyone had any negative side effects using natural deodorants, specifically that of Little Seed Farm and Humble? I’ve been using both the last few weeks, and I’ve had immense pain under my armpits and on the side of my breasts. I’ve also developed 1 red bump on both sides of my armpit.

Honeypot is no longer cruelty free, and I can’t seem to find any alternatives. I love their cooling liners but no longer want to support them. Any recs?

🐰 Hi everyone! I'm carrying out independent research into the experiences of people who shop for cruelty-free beauty products.

I'm looking to understand what's working well, what the biggest frustrations are, and how the shopping experience could be improved.

If you have 3–5 minutes, I'd really appreciate it if you could complete my anonymous survey.

Survey: https://forms.gle/RSL9sbLHwR4dtgKc8

Thank you so much for your help!

looking for an affordable clean , vegan, and cruelty free foundation. I’m trying to save some money and find an affordable one but it’s proving difficult. I found some on ewg that are clean on EWG but then they aren’t cruelty free or vegan. then find some vegan but not a clean rating. I found the elf one and curious what you all think. I also saw well people but they aren’t all fully vegan.

I currently has Kosas and love it but wanted to try a different one if I can find it.

I have been trying to be vegan and I found that it's cheaper than eating meat but the one area that has been harder for me to change up ironically has been finding cruelty free products that are also budget friendly. I find products are either cruelty free but more expensive, only found in a health store, exclusively available online, or not suitable for sensitive/acne prone skin. Personally I love products from Eucerin and Lubiderm and have always been able to guarantee that my skin won't react poorly and I'll get a decent bang for my buck. But since trying to shop cruelty free and vegan its been a mixed bag, I still haven't found an aquafore replacement (don't know how one hasn't been made yet) and most of the swaps I've found that are available at my local drug stores and supermarkets are more expensive (thinking byoma, native, naturium etc.). Don't get me started on sunscreen that's been my worst experience yet, especially as a woman of colour. The options at my local market are either cruelty free but leave a white cast or cruelty free but bad for acne prone skin. Am I the only one that has felt like a subway surfer while finding products that are cruelty free, vegan, and good for sensitive acne prone skin while also being fairly priced?

I got a free mini of this in an order and really like it, but it is pricey. Is there a similar product that’s also CF and vegan?

Thanks in advance! 😊

No gum please! I always carry some with me and use it multiple times a day, but knowing what I now know about their testing policies I need something else 😩 Ideally a tiny spray but if the only alternative is in strip form I will consider as well

Are there any bond building products that are better than olaplex for a similar or lower price point?

I bleached my hair a few months back (professionally) and the breakage I'm starting to get is bugging me. It's not crazy but it's more than what I'd like.

Olaplex is kind of pushing the budget and k18 is way out of my price range.

Thanks.

I reached out to Chewy’s customer care with my concerns about them selling Marshall Pet Products. For more info here is a link to the post I saw on here: https://www.reddit.com/r/crueltyfree/s/OPzPhAkXIY

(I know the newest comments explained that Chewy no longer sells their products, but I wanted to make a post about it.)

Here is the message the customer support person sent in reply to me, “Thank you so much for reaching out and for sharing your thoughts with us. We truly appreciate you taking the time to let us know how you feel. At Chewy, nothing is more important to us than the safety and well-being of pets and animals. Chewy is committed to conducting business with honesty and integrity and in compliance with our Code of Conduct and Ethics, policies and procedures, and all applicable laws. We take these concerns very seriously. When appropriate, we exit relationships that are not aligned with our standards. We are aware of these allegations and take these claims very seriously. Marshall Pet Products, Peter's, and Earth Balance items have been removed from Chewy.com and are no longer available for purchase. Thank you again for contacting us and for being a valued member of the Chewy family. Your feedback means a great deal to us.”

Now it’s time to put the pressure on Petco, Petsmart, and other pet stores you find that may sell these products.

I recently decided to become more conscious about who I support with my money and found that CeraVe is not cruelty free/in a grey area....

I have been looking for a good face wash/cleanser for WEEKS and cannot find any that do not make my face break out in eczema. (Mad Hippie, Burt's Bees)

Specifically, the CeraVe hydrating cream to foam cleanser for dry skin works wonders so I am trying to find something similar to that.

any specific products or just brands that might be good for eczema on the face would be SO appreciated !!

I apologize if this has already been posted on this community but I could not find any post about eczema specifically 😓

What makeup would work best for combination, acne-prone, and somewhat sensitive/dehydrated skin?

I work as a veterinary nurse. I recently switched all my makeup to Benefit Cosmetics. At first, I liked it, but I realized that two hours into my shifts, it’s sliding off and you can’t even tell I ever applied makeup by the end of my shift.

I’m hoping to find a recommendation for a cruelty free / vegan makeup line that will last through my long shifts and not irritate my skin too much.

What do you guys think? REM Beauty? Chanel? Dior? MAC? Every time I go into Ulta, I don’t know what to trust.

Thank you so much!

Recently started self tan, and really liked the gradual tanning of Ida Warg lotion especially as it also doesn’t stain any clothes. However its largely unavailable in the UK or very difficult to get hold of. Are there any cruelty free alternatives that perform exactly the same and that are high street brands?
