cruelty-free skincare

Cruelty-free skincare refers to products developed without testing on animals at any stage of development. This means that no ingredients or final products were tested on animals to ensure safety or efficacy. Many cruelty-free brands use alternative testing methods, such as lab cultures or computer models. The label "cruelty-free" helps consumers make compassionate choices aligned with ethical concerns about animal welfare. It's important to note that cruelty-free does not necessarily mean vegan, as some ingredients may still be animal-derived, but the products are free from animal testing.
