When looking for a lipstick or any other makeup product, do you check whether the brand is cruelty-free? If not, you should start now. Amid all the glitz and glamour, we often forget that we may be unknowingly opting for products that have been tested on animals to check how they would react on human skin. It’s high time we grow into conscious beauty consumers, and be mindful of our purchases. Especially in this day and age when there are numerous cruelty-free cosmetic options that are easily available in India.
For the unversed, cruelty-free makeup brands are those whose products and ingredients were not tested on animals. If you’re looking to make the switch, check out some of our favourite cruelty-free brands that you can shop guilt-free from!
