Almay (Revlon)

Almay

Yes

No

NO.💔💉 Almay may appear to be cruelty-free with its “clean” and “effortless” ethos, but the brand’s animal-friendly statements are quite misleading. In 2012, PETA exposed some formerly “cruelty-free” cosmetics companies, including Almay, which had quietly started paying for animal tests in China in order to sell there. The Chinese government still requires tests on animals for all imported and special-use cosmetics, and Almay continues to sell its products there.

Yes

No

YES!❤️🐰 In addition to being an affordable, high-quality brand, e.l.f. Cosmetics is committed to leaving cruelty to animals out of its products and business practices. All its products are cruelty-free (no animal tests or ingredients!), and the company has never paid for animal testing anywhere in the world.

Aveeno (Johnson & Johnson)

Aveeno (Johnson & Johnson)

Yes
