Disclaimer:

• I look at the company's parent company to determine whether or not they are 100% cruelty-free. I do not and will not support a brand that has sold out to a company that tests on animals. I feel this way because if I buy from a company that does not test on animals but is owned by a company that does, my money indirectly will fund animal testing.

I look to see if they sell their products in China. Though some companies are cruelty-free, if they sell their products in China, I will not buy from them. The reason is because Chinese government conducts mandatory animal tests on all animal products imported into the country. So, even if a company does not test their products or ingredients on animals, if they sell in China, they are not considered cruelty-free. Brazil is another country that requires some, but not all, cosmetics to be tested.
