Testing products on animals is unfair and cruel :( If we choose cruelty-free products, it is not only better for the animals but also for us. Cruelty-free products are, more often than not, also free of chemicals like paraben, sulphate, and synthetic dyes.

To make things easier for you, we have curated the ultimate list of cruelty-free brands available in India. Check it out:

Body Cafe

Body Cafe is a homegrown cruelty-free beauty and wellness brand. From skincare to haircare products, they have a wide range of handcrafted products inspired by home remedies ‘gharelu nuskhe’ and nature. Be it their Lilly Valley Body Butter that provides skin with the perfect nourishment and moisture, or their vegan men’s after-shave cream -  they have something for everyone. They have cruelty-free products that are also natural, organic, and chemical free.

The Nature Masons

Built from nature, The Nature Masons is a beautiful personal care brand that offers a variety of cruelty-free products that are also gender-neutral, organic, zero waste, reef safe, and come in completely recyclable packaging. If you’re looking for cruelty free beauty products, The Nature Masons have a long list of guilt-free hair and skin care products. The solid conditioner bar is one of our favourites! 

Plum 

No list of cruelty free skincare brands in India is complete without Plum. Their skincare products have carefully selected plant-based actives. They are vegan and cruelty free which means they do not contain beeswax, honey, insects (yuck). What’s your skin type? Oily? Dry? Acne-Prone? Plum offers a variety of skin care essentials for every skin type. Our favourite? It's the vegan moisturizing cream that helps in combating dryness and leaves your skin feeling plump.  

Just Herbs  

Looking for some cruelty-free Indian makeup brands? We’ve got you. Just Herbs is a PETA certified company that has a beautiful lineup of ayurvedic lipsticks. None of their products or formulas are tested on animals. With certified organic and wildcrafted ingredients collected from across India, Just Herbs' cruelty-free beauty products are a hit! We recommend their Herb enriched ayurvedic lipstick that is free from harmful chemicals. 

Daughter Earth 

Daughter Earth is a cruelty-free cosmetics brand in India. They aim to create effective formulas by combining scientific research and plant based bioactives. From their lip and cheek tint to their cruelty-free skin care kit - every product is made with love and care- for us and the planet too.

Bath and Being

Bath and Being creates daily-use botanical skincare products that suit sensitive skin. Their products are cruelty-free and handcrafted with love. While ensuring that the ingredients and the products are sustainable, affordable and eco friendly, Bath and Being’s products are made in small batches (so you can always grab a fresh one). We are obsessed with their Canna bean scrub made with coffee and granulated walnut shells that smells heavenly and does wonders for your skin! 

mCaffeine

Coffee is the lifeline for sleep deprived people (and it smells great!) How about an entire range of caffeinated personal care products? mCaffeine’s products are 100% vegan and cruelty-free (Peta approved), and contain no SLS, parabens, silicones or mineral oils. Their body polishing kit will deeply moisturise and nourish dull and dry skin, leaving you feeling oh-so refreshed.

Deyga organics is a natural, cruelty-free and sustainable personal care brand. None of their products are produced at the cost of the environment. They are strictly against animal testing and do not use animals in any way to test our products. We absolutely love their 100% natural Hair care kit that is the perfect remedy for hair fall. 

Earth Rhythm

When we talk about eco-friendly, cruelty-free, sustainable- Earth Rhythm is the place to be.  If you’re looking for some inspiration to kickstart your zero-waste journey, then this is a sign. Earth Rhythm’s Murumuru Shampoo Bar is our absolute favourite! 

Juicy Chemistry 

With the motto “organic by nature”, Juicy Chemistry promises a no-nasty experience when it comes to caring for your skin. Not only are they cruelty-free, but also vegan, chemical-free, and sustainable. They believe in simple yet effective formulas. We recommend their cruelty-free lip scrub that hydrates and exfoliates lips. If you’re looking for something to treat dry, frizzy hair then check out their leave-in conditioner.
