🤔 Are you still confused about the difference between cruelty-free and vegan? We got you!
Not all cruelty-free products are vegan, and some brands love to capitalize on the confusion. 🐇
“Cruelty-free" means no animal testing - instead, they use advanced in-lab reconstituted human tissue, which is more accurate for testing product effects on humans (and yay, no harm to animals!)
However, keep in mind that cruelty-free products might still have non-vegan ingredients. 🌱 So when shopping, watch out for both labels to stay on the safe side! Happy cruelty-free & vegan shopping! 🛍️✨

twistedbakery The no animal testing label being synonymous with cruelty free, is something that has bugged me since going vegan. Because, although it's fantastic if a product isn't tested on animals, if it also contains ingredients like honey or buttermilk, it's obviously not cruelty free, and I agree that that can be very confusing. Cruelty-free should only be used for vegan products, in my humble opinion.20 likesReply

walkoffame What about Peta approved logo?3 likesReply
twistedbakery According to Peta their logo means that companies "must commit never to conduct, commission, pay for, or loud tests on animals at any phase of development for both ingredients and final products". To me that doesn't mean that it's vegan, and may have animal derived products in it. 5 likesReply
ksvegan17 And just because it’s cruelty free doesn’t mean it’s vegan and vice versa.3 likesReply
brieferreira I cant believe the USA is still allowing this to happen. But in actuality it doesn’t surprise me one bit!! Reply
vegan4thecritters I’ve always been baffled by the fact that a product can be labeled cruelty free yet not be vegan. It seems to me if something is cruelty free then by definition it should be vegan. Sad we have to be so careful reading labels but it’s well worth it to avoid supporting cruelty.Reply
purpleveganlady Yup.Reply
