Vegan Makeup

Vegan makeup means products that do not contain any animal-derived ingredients or by-products (such as carmine, beeswax, lanolin, honey, collagen, or dairy). Note that a product can be cruelty-free without being vegan if it contains animal-derived ingredients that were not tested on animals.

It is made from a wide array of plant-based, mineral, and synthetic components chosen to achieve the desired textures, colors, and performance.

Cruelty-free makeup means the product and its ingredients were not tested on animals at any stage of development. Truly cruelty-free brands also ensure their suppliers do not test on animals and do not sell in markets where animal testing is legally required.

No. Cruelty-free means no animal testing, while vegan means no animal-derived ingredients.

No, but all Urban Decay products are 100% cruelty-free and never tested on animals. They offer a wide lineup of vegan setting sprays, eyeshadows, foundations, and lip colors.

No, vegan makeup is not the same as organic. Certified organic products will be explicitly labeled as such.

No, vegan makeup is not necessarily chemical-free. A product can be vegan and still contain chemicals.

No, vegan does not mean paraben-free. Paraben-free products will be specifically labeled on the packaging.
