Note that some brands may be owned by a parent company that is not cruelty-free, and these brands will be marked with an asterisk . Additionally, some brands may have vegan products, which means they do not contain animal-derived ingredients. It is important to note that all-natural cosmetics do not instantly qualify as vegan and cruelty-free, as animals are derivatives of nature.
