15 Vegan and Animal Test–Free Makeup Companies We Love
More than 5,000 beauty companies have joined PETA’s Global Beauty Without Bunnies program since it began. There are so many great brands to choose from, but we’re highlighting a few that we know you’ll love. These 15 companies are cruelty-free, which means they don’t use any animal-derived ingredients in their products or test on animals.
Animal test–free companies can sign up with the program to be included in our Global Beauty Without Bunnies database, which is the ultimate resource for conscientious shoppers. Simply type a company’s name in the search field to see whether it’s naughty or nice to animals.
Companies that join can also proudly display one of these logos on their products:
“Animal test–free” means that products were created without cruel, archaic tests on animals. Vegan products are defined as being free of animal-derived ingredients. More than 500 companies in our database are 100% vegan!
Here’s a taste of just a few of the fantastic cruelty-free beauty brands in our database:
1. Pacifica
This 100% vegan company offers skincare, makeup, and body products.
2. Rare Beauty
Selena Gomez’s Rare Beauty brand sells foundation in 48 shades, bronzers that will make you glow, and so much more.
3. KVD Beauty
KVD Beauty’s moisturizing foundations and concealers come in a variety of shades to match all skin tones.
4. e.l.f. Cosmetics
The super-affordable products of this vegan makeup brand can be found on drugstore shelves. e.l.f. Cosmetics also launched a coffee- and doughnut-inspired collaboration with Dunkin’, including a coffee lip scrub, a sprinkle doughnut face sponge, and three mini eyeshadow palettes. We’re still waiting for Dunkin’ to offer vegan doughnuts in the U.S., but you can bet we’ll be wearing these cruelty-free makeup looks when it does.

Bright, bold colors make Lime Crime stand out from the crowd.

For high-quality basics, look to Au Naturale. We love the brand’s Eternity Lipstick, which gives a sheer, lightweight tint that you can wear all day.
9. Elate
Elate’s sustainable packaging and customizable palettes are perfect for the eco-conscious makeup lover.
10. INIKA Organic
INIKA offers nourishing skincare alongside clean makeup products for a natural glow.
11. Mad Hippie
This brand is known for its skincare products, but it also has a makeup line.
12. Concrete Minerals
For bold, metallic, and iridescent eyeshadows in unique shades, look to Concrete Minerals.
13. Trust Fund Beauty
Get ready for a full-body glow-up with products from Trust Fund Beauty, which sells everything from vegan nail polish to liquid lipstick.
14. Tower 28
We love Tower 28’s ShineOn Milky Lip Jelly, which is a semi-sheer gloss that comes in five gorgeous colors.
15. ecotools
You need some quality tools to use with all this new makeup, and we’re big fans of the fur-free brushes from ecotools.
