Check out these Cruelty-Free Makeup brands at all price points
By: Sydney Harrison
Cruelty-free makeup has become extremely popular in recent years. Companies have been switching to cruelty free since animal testing has become widely unappealing to customers, and also necessary. There are a lot of benefits to cruelty-free makeup in addition to the mistreatment it saves animal from. Not many people realize that cruelty-free makeup is better for the planet, your wallet and your body. Cruelty-free makeup includes fewer toxins than regular makeup. Some cruelty-free makeup is also vegan and eco-friendly. There are tons of cruelty-free brands, but I have selected 14, seven affordable and seven high-end, of my favorites to include. After learning more about the wonders of cruelty-free makeup, I hope you check out these awesome companies and give them a try! Remember, you can vote no on animal-tested makeup with your money!
Affordable Cruelty-Free Makeup is important for people looking to shop ethically while on a budget, like many college students. I have compiled a list of these affordable brands not only because they are my favorite, but because they have some of the best products, high-end dupes and highest quality.
