I research each of these companies myself, to make sure they do not test on animals. Plus, companies I've found that are vegan (no animal products at all) or nearly vegan (beeswax, lanolin, or sea algae), I've notated with a heart. ♥

Companies that have been bought out by corporations that do animal testing (or whose animal testing status cannot be verified), yet still maintain their own cruelty-free status, are notated with an "intersection" sign:  ∩.

You can find the following cruelty-free companies on the web through your search engine, at Sephora, Ulta, the PETA Mall, bewellstaywell.com, Whole Foods, your local health food store, and sometimes even at the pharmacy or Target.

For a list of cruelty-free makeup brushes, please see Vegan Makeup Brushes.

I keep this list up to date. It's one of the most comprehensive on the web. If you have a non-animal tested company that should be added to the list, please let me know!

      Notes

      1. Not all vegan and non-animal testing companies sell non-animal hair brushes. This list is for their cosmetics only. For brushes, please see Vegan Makeup Brushes

      2.* An asterisk after a product name on the list indicates that there might be a problem with their anti-cruelty claims. For instance: Herbatint Hair Color says they are "against animal testing." That could mean anything.

      3. **A spokesperson for the company said they are "animal friendly." He didn't get more specific than that.

      4. ***Website states they are "animal friendly." It's a good sentiment, but it's not specific enough to make me 100% comfortable.

      5. I've taken Rimmel London off the list until I can re-verify their non-animal testing status. They were bought out by Coty, and things may have changed. I'll keep you posted.

      6. #OCC (Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics): 152 of their 159 products are vegan.

      7. #Origins: Although the company itself does not test on animals, I've heard from a number of sources that their suppliers do. So I've pulled them off the list.

      8. ****Revlon is owned by MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings. Most of MacAndrews' other companies are tech and other non-animal related businesses. But MacAndrews also owns Transtech Pharma, and that's a red flag, since Transtech collaborates with other, unnamed and changing pharmaceutical companies. However, Revlon itself is a big company and makes its own profit, reinvesting much of it back into itself. I've been in touch with them directly, and they haven't disturbed the hair on a bunny since 1989.

      9. I took Bath and Body Works off the list until I can verify that their suppliers do not do animal testing - even though they do not test the finished products on animals. I received a number of messages from readers asking that I check on that.

      10***All of Dermalogica's products are vegan except: Essential Cleansing Solution (Beeswax), Gentle Soothing Booster (Honey), Intensive Moisture Masque (Honey), Skin Smoothing Cream (Egg Oil), Oil Free Matt Block SPF 20 (Salmon sperm), Super Sensitive Faceblock SPF 30 (Salmon sperm), Extra Rich Faceblock SPF 30 (Salmon sperm), Multivitamin Bodyblock SFP 20 (Salmon sperm). Thanks to Natalie for this information.

      11. All of Miessence's products are vegan except the following that contain Beeswax: Mascara Reflect Outdoor Balm All Concealers Jaffa Lip Balm All Lip Cremes All Shimmer Cremes Thanks again to Natalie for this information.
