My 7 Favorite Cruelty-Free Makeup and Skincare Products
/My love for animals inspired me to write this blog post about cruelty-free beauty. In this post, you'll discover makeup and skincare products I’ve personally used, loved, and highly recommend you try.
What are Cruelty-Free Cosmetic Products?
Cruelty-free cosmetic products are 100% free of new animal testing & are certified by The Leaping Bunny Standard. The Leaping Bunny works with companies to help make shopping for animal-friendly products easier & more trustworthy.
Ilia
Ilia carries the Leaping Bunny certification which means none of their products are tested on our furry friends. Ilia believes that skincare and makeup should be one. Their formulas are designed to shield your skin from environmental stressors while nourishing and moisturizing it. Ilia's SPF is clinically shown to make your skin look younger. These are just a few of the reasons why I love Ilia's dedication to clean beauty and never testing on animals.
Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 Foundation
This serum skin tint foundation is one of my favorite must-haves in my makeup bag. It is oil-free, fragrance-free, and provides light coverage. It also protects your skin with SPF.
The Necessary Eyeshadow Palette
I use this palette daily. I use it for eyeshadow as well as eyeliner. It is a staple piece in my makeup bag. It is my favorite and most versatile makeup product.
Honest Beauty
While many brands claim to be cruelty-free, what they don’t tell you is that their products are only 97.2% vegan. Honest Beauty assures they go beyond mere plant-based companies. If you’re like me and have sensitive skin and need light coverage, take a look at the two must-have Honest Beauty products below.
Two Products in My Cosmetics Bag
I can’t live without these two Honest Beauty products. I have sensitive skin, which makes these products perfect for my skincare needs.
Hydrogel Cream
Extreme Length Mascara + Lash Primer
What’s My Next Honest Beauty Purchase?
I can’t wait to try Honest Beauty’s “Honestly Bright Eyes Tinted Eye Cream” next! This product is already in my cart! What is in yours?
COVERGIRL
COVERGIRL is Leaping Bunny approved by Cruelty-Free International, making them a cruelty-free makeup brand across ALL products, sold everywhere. This is a big deal for a brand like COVERGIRL, a brand name we’ve known and trusted for decades.
Outlast Extreme Full Coverage Liquid Foundation
Looking for a cruelty-free foundation formulated with SPF that provides full coverage? COVERGIRL Outlast Extreme Wear 3-in-1 Full Coverage Liquid Foundation is available in 18 shades for true color matching with a lightweight, cake-free, 24-hour formula that absorbs quickly to provide full coverage and hydrate your skin while protecting it from UVs.
TruBlend So Flushed High Pigment Blush
The TruBlend So Flushed High Pigment Blush offers rich pigment for a flush of color that's not too heavy. It feels comfortable on your face all day long and won't fade away or cake up. It's extremely blendable and lightweight, making it perfect for all-day wear. Best of all, it's Leaping Bunny Certified by Cruelty Free International, meaning it's never tested on animals.
Winky Lux
I have been a fan of Winky Lux’s skincare and makeup products for a year. When I wrote my first blog post about 5 of their products, I saw how much my readers loved trying Winky Lux cruelty-free products for sale. Winky Lux believes that “the spirit of beauty” is rooted in play, and that thoughtfully manufactured, cruelty-free products can be tools for self-care, creative expression, and even a way to spark new friendships.
Digital Defense+ Gelée Serum Concentrate
Your skin can get dehydrated and dull from too much screen time. Keep it healthy with Winky Lux Digital Defense+ Gelée Serum Concentrate, which is packed with blue light protecting marine actives that help defend against harmful blue light rays from electronic devices (aka the smartphone and laptop you can’t put down).
Purrfect Pout Lipstick
Purrfect Pout Lipstick (a play on the phrase "pawfect pout") was inspired by our love of playful and sassy pets. The jojoba oil and Vitamin E help nourish your lips as you create a smooth, sheer finish. Duo-kitty core comes in a heart-shaped compact for fun and function. I adore Winky Lux’s lipsticks because they are compact and easy to fit into that tiny clutch you’re squeezing all of your “night-out necessities” into.
There you have it!
These cruelty-free skincare and makeup brands have top-tier products that don’t break the bank! As an advocate animal lover, I look to inspire those who seek alternative skincare and makeup products that are cruelty-free and attainable. For the cost of smooth skin, an animal should never have to pay the price!
