…countless other brands are cruelty free too, however, with these being some of the powerhouse companies for the industry, it is important to know they are cruelty free! Always be aware what you are putting your money in.

The following brands are VEGAN, which means they are cruelty free and contain no non-vegan products. Usually, vegan products end up being better for your skin because the substitutions that are used in the product tend to contain vitamins and essential oils!

Many online retailers are cruelty free as well! Before you purchase makeup, be sure you research and you know what you are putting onto your skin. Living a cruelty free life is beautiful!

Though these products are more on the high end side, freedom is priceless. These brands also offer incredible products with beautiful assortments of colors and high pigmentation!

Gucci Goes Faux!

A company worth over $12,000,000,000, luxury brand, Gucci, has made the admirable decision to go fur-free! With Gucci’s fame and people’s zealous desire to buy the brand’s products, this will encourage other brands to go fur-free, and it will spread extra awareness of the benefits of faux fur!

A quote from Gucci’s CEO, Bizzarri, states, “Being socially responsible is one of Gucci’s core values, and we will continue to strive to do better for the environment and animals.” With this brand’s power and influence it has on the world, this is such a positive change and a victory for animals!

Some other brands that are fur-free are Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Armani, Ann Taylor, J. Crew, Zara & countless other retail stores. There are so many other ways to live an animal friendly lifestyle other than changing your diet. Boycotting wool, silk, leather, fur and any fashion products with any animal exploitation involved can help protest, as well as purchasing make-up that was not tested on animals & has a vegan formula! We can win the fight and one day live in an animal friendly world!
