Cruelty Free Beauty Brands A-Z

Below is my list of brands that I know of that are cruelty free. The list includes hair, makeup and beauty brands and confirms if I know of any parent company issues, if they're vegan friendly or if they're completely vegan.

DISCLAIMER: I do not claim to be an expert, just an enthusiast who spends a lot of time researching and obsessing about makeup :o)  From time to time, I will get this wrong but I am constantly checking and updating this list to be as accurate as I can. In my opinion, the most thorough and up to date list is Logical Harmony's and it's always my first port of call.

This list is a work in progress and I am constantly updating it as and when I find new brands, or if anything in relation to a company's cruelty free status changes. So please feel free to bookmark it and also, if you think anything on their is wrong (or your fave brand is missing), please do hit me up with a comment or talk to me on twitter or facebook so I can look into it.

ALL brands listed are cruelty free.  I've also listed cruelty free brands that belong to a parent company that test, for those who do not boycott cruelty free companies because of the parent/sister company. Those brands will be clearly marked.

If I haven't marked a brand as vegan friendly (VF) it doesn't necessarily mean they're not; it could just be that they are new to me and I haven't researched them yet.

(Also, if I have done a post about them with details of vegan options, or I know of a page on their website/another blog that details this info, I will link to it, so just click on the company name.)

Key:
V = Vegan brand
VF = Vegan friendly (meaning they have vegan options, but not everything is vegan so check the ingredients or website/contact the = company etc)
PC = Owned by Parent Company, or has 'Sister Company/ies who test on animals
