I go by one simple rule. If in doubt do without. There are plenty of companies that are totally cruelty free. We don’t need to buy from companies that trade in grey areas or blind us with legal loopholes. Either they do test or they don’t. Simple.

Is this the same with Zara Fragrances? I noticed that you recently included that brand on your list of companies that do test. If it’s not just a licensing snafu that earns them that dubious honor, but the brand itself selling in China or doing the testing, then I’d love to know so I can boycott them.

Okay, so Marc Jacobs fragrance is licensed under Coty. Therefore NOT cruelty free, right? Such a disappointment. Thank you for your research.

In reply to Marsletta Knapp. The product is cruelty-free in that it is not tested on animals, but it would not be considered vegan.

Marc Jacobs Dew Drops Coconut Gel Highlighter contains carmine, which comes from an insect, so isn’t this an animal ingredient? So how is this product cruelty free?

In reply to Beka. You're very welcome! I just checked the products I own from MJ and most are made in Italy, but also the US and Korea. Hope this helps! :)

Thanks so much for this breakdown! I have had a hard time trying to figure out where MJ Beauty is manufactured though. Any info on that? I recently fell in love with several of their products which puts me even closer to my goal of using only cruelty-free makeup, but I am also hoping to avoid brands that manufacture in China.

Thanks Caroline! Philosophy tests on animals where required by law (although they don’t sell to mainland China). This is why I had to remove them.
