Cruelty-Free Makeup: What It Means and Why It Matters
What Does Cruelty-Free Makeup Mean?
Cruelty-free makeup means that the finished product and its individual ingredients have not been tested on animals at any point during development. This commitment extends from ingredient sourcing through final product testing and manufacturing.
At FUNNY ELVES, cruelty-free is not just a label - it is a core value that guides every product we create. All our products, from our Soft Matte Pressed Powder to our Long Wear Aqua Foundation, are developed without any animal testing.
Cruelty-Free vs Vegan: What is the Difference?
These terms are often confused but mean different things:
- Cruelty-free: The product was not tested on animals
- Vegan: The product contains no animal-derived ingredients
A product can be cruelty-free but not vegan (if it contains ingredients like beeswax), or vegan but not cruelty-free (if it was tested on animals). For the most ethical choice, look for products that are both.
