There are currently several international makeup brands that do not test on animals. But what are some of them? So, get to know a short list of 6 international brands that have abolished animal testing.

These products are called cruelty free. Many products have a rabbit symbol on their packaging to say they don't test on animals. But how much can we trust?

This is an increasingly common variation in the beauty industry, with major brands adopting untested lines. However, can we trust them all? And what should we take into account when choosing a product?

So, if you want to start a cruelty free beauty routine, come check out our tips! Remembering that, regardless of your choice, the most important thing is to know the origin of the products we are consuming!

As you will see later, we will be featuring brands that are vegan and cruelty free. But what's the difference? Basically, the difference is that cruelty free makeup brands do not test on animals.

However, they can use animal products such as honey. So, it is very common to see international brands that do not test on animals but have products with animal derivatives!

Therefore, just check the seal on the product and search its origin on the internet. But it's very easy to find out. That's because most cruelty free brands advise if a product is vegan.

In fact, not all national or international makeup brands that claim they don't test on animals really are. The reasons may vary.

For example, the fact that they say they don't test on animals doesn't mean they don't outsource this service. Additionally, some brands that do not test on animals may purchase ingredients from other brands that they test.

Another relevant point is that brands can be part of other conglomerates with subsidiaries that carry out tests. Or even support other forms of animal cruelty, such as rodeos and the use of fur.

Furthermore, international makeup brands that sell in China are not cruelty free. This is because the country's legislation requires testing on animals to be carried out.

Therefore, it is important to research in detail what you are consuming. It is important that you are aware of the production. Thus, you can choose which type of consumption and products make sense for you!

So, there is a big debate about the brand being truly cruelty free. Many people don't want their money to go to companies that exploit animals, even if the product itself is test-free.
