These Are The LN Favourite Cruelty-Free Brands

For this week’s Lux List Beauty, we are going beyond by exploring how brands are backing up cruelty-free values and how you can help the planet by supporting them.

Animal testing is one of the ugliest sides of the beauty industry; however, this is rapidly changing and evolving into a world where more and more brands take the term cruelty-free under their umbrella. And, to be honest, I can’t be happier with this switch. Labels aside, my consumption of animal products has been as close to zero as it can get during the last few years, so now you understand why this is so important for me when deciding which products I’m putting into my body/skin.

The brands on the list below are just a few doing great in cruelty-free practices, ensuring their products are not tested on animals at any cost.

These are our top 7 cruelty-free brands:

INIKA Organic:

INIKA Organic commits to Certified Organic, Cruelty-Free, Halal and Vegan values. But don’t just take our word for it.

They have complete confidence in the processes and products as they endure rigorous testing with the highest Natural and Organic Certifications level. While they take care at the same time to ensure all ingredients are ethically sourced.
