Cruelty-Free Makeup Brands 2020 & Cosmetic Animal Testing || Guide to Cruelty-Free Makeup
#cosmeticanimaltesting#crueltyfreemakeup
UPDATE 03/02/2021: JOAH Cosmetics is still certified by PETA, however there isn't any confirming information on Crueltyfreekitty or Ethical Elephant. However, Logical Harmony lists them as "pending." Since there is much uncertainty surrounding JOAH Cosmetics I have decided to discontinue purchasing from them until further notice.
UPDATE 03/10/2020: Physicians Formula is no longer considered cruelty-free, as they sell their products in China and are susceptible to post-market animal testing. Physicians formula is showcased at the end of the video during my CVS clips. Both blogs from Cruelty-Free Kitty and Logical Harmony have removed this brand from their list. However, the brand is currently still listed by PETA, I will update once/if they are officially removed from the list.
