22 Cruelty-Free Drugstore Beauty Products That Work Really Well

Every editorial product is independently selected by our editors. If you buy something through our links, we may earn commission.

A decade ago, it was difficult to find beauty products at affordable price points that didn't test on animals. With a few exceptions, most of the drugstore was not cruelty-free or leaping-bunny approved. Thankfully, that's been changing in recent years, and we no longer have to worry about cosmetics labs shoving mascara wands into the eyes of rabbits just to get our favorite beauty buys. Some of your favorite brands have earned cruelty-free certifications, so you can finally give up cruel brands for good. Ahead you'll find some of the best drugstore products out there that have never experimented on cute, furry creatures.
