My Favourite Cruelty Free Brands

Cruelty free products are products that are manufactured without harming or killing animals. In today's day and age we have the technology and capability to safely produce beauty products without exploiting animals but sometimes it can be difficult to know what is cruelty free and what’s not. Cruelty Free Kitty is a great website that lists whether most brands are cruelty free or not but to help you out I’ve created a list of some of my favourite cruelty free brands and products.

1. Youth to the People

Youth to the People is one of my favourite skin care brands, their Superfood Cleanser is my go to cleanser and the product I’ve re-purchased the most. It’s perfect for all skin types and all weather. Youth To The People is eco-conscious and philanthropic. They’re committed to harnessing nutrient-dense superfoods that have an impact on your skin's health and less of one on the environment.
