What UK beauty brands are vegan and cruelty free

In this rapidly evolving world, we believe that we have surpassed the need for unsustainable and cruel animal testing facilities, especially regarding the production of makeup products. There is an increasingly growing demand in the makeup sector for products free from unfair animal treatment and produce.

We personally believe this is the next generation of the beauty community, providing both high-quality skincare and makeup products, while simultaneously rejecting the need for unethical animal testing in labs. We have compiled a list of up-and-coming beauty brands based in the UK who thrive off the production of high-quality, ethical and moral makeup consumption.
