The brands that are considered “Cruelty-free” are those that don’t test their products on animals; this means that they avoid using the animals as their tool to experiment.
Is there anything else besides not testing animals required to be “Cruelty-free”?
A brand that does not test directly with the animals is not enough for being considered cruelty-free. According to PETA (People for Ethical treatments of animals), it only includes in their list those companies that don’t test directly on animals, don’t pay commission, or don’t even allow animal testing to try their ingredients.
Is every “cruelty-free” product is really what they say?
Any company that feels like advertising their products like cruelty-free can do it. In the United state or Canada, there is no regulation for this.
Is cruelty-free the same as vegan?
Cruelty-free doesn’t test directly on animals and doesn’t allow anything related to animal testing, not even related to the ingredients they use or the distribution chain. But, on the other hand, they can contain derived animal ingredients like collagen, lanolin, keratin, and honey.
Vegan products are not allowed to use any ingredient that derives from animals. They could have tested their ingredients of final products in animals during any time of their manufacturing.
