Ethical and cruelty-free beauty brands are finally hitting the mainstream thanks to millennials and eco-conscience buyers. Now it is much easier to find brands that enhance your natural beauty but don’t leave you guilt-ridden or negatively impact the environment.
It’s our hope that this movement will inspire everyone to seek out products that don’t utilize animal testing. That, unfortunately, is the ugly side of the beauty industry that brands or brand ambassadors don’t want us to know about. Here, at Healthy Magazine, we wholeheartedly support companies that don’t practice animal cruelty.
After much research from our experts, we can confidently say we’ve found products that we are proud to add to our beauty arsenal. They are cruelty-free and vegan-friendly makeup brands that use natural ingredients and vetted sources. Some of what you’ll find in our curated list are completely vegan. All are vegan-friendly for those who aim to avoid all animal products. Each of them will leave you feeling beautiful.
These are everyday products that fit every budget.
