Is Charlotte Tilbury Cruelty-Free?

Puig owns a majority stake in Charlotte Tilbury. Puig also owns brands that are not animal cruelty-free. 

How do we determine whether a brand is cruelty-free or not?

Many brands often don’t tell the complete truth about their animal testing-policy. For example, some brands sell their products in mainland China. Others pay third parties to conduct the tests and still claim to be animal cruelty-free. 

To make sure a company is cruelty-free, we first make sure that they don’t sell their products in countries where animal testing is required. Then we take a look at their animal testing policies (if they have any) to look for discrepancies. And finally, we reach out to support and ask them a series of questions on whether the company (or its suppliers) test on animals.

Based on this, we decide whether a company is cruelty-free or not. Fortunately, Charlotte Tilbury passed this criteria. So, we can say it’s a cruelty-free brand.

Difference between cruelty-free and vegan

AdvertisementsThe terms ‘cruelty-free’ and ‘vegan’ have grown in popularity over the past few years. People often use them interchangeably. But there’s a difference between the two.

Cruelty-free products are those that have not been tested on animals. This means that the ingredients and final product have not been subjected to any animal testing whatsoever. Cruelty-free brands also typically do not work with suppliers who test on animals, so you can be sure that no animal suffered in the making of the products. 

Vegan skincare products are developed without any animal-derived ingredients. This means that all of the ingredients in these products are plant-based, making them an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin.
