You can trust Cruelty-Free Kitty to be on top of the most recent changes in China’s animal testing laws.

It helps to smooth, strengthen, and moisturize, which is exceptionally important during these cold months where everything tends to get extremely dry and brittle. Even though the company itself isn’t executing these animal experiments, they bear full responsibility. I originally picked up the Therapy Session because I was attracted to the BOGO pricing, and looking for a deep conditioner with cetrimonium chloride and protein high enough on the list. My hair is naturally on the frizzy/wavy side and using this mask really helps tame the frizz and flyaways. However, some of the brands owned by these parent companies are cruelty-free and have strict policies against animal testing.We have a list of 100% vegan brands, and you can also filter our official list of cruelty-free brands and choose to show vegan brands only. Made with sustainable packaging: Made with at least 50% PCR (post-consumer recycled) plastic and is curbside recyclable.

The brand is known for its innovative and trendy hair tools, such as straighteners and hair dryers, and its use of natural ingredients and unique fragrances in its hair products. Also known for being closest in composition to the natural sebum our scalps produce, that coat and nourish the hair.

It’s also worth noting that subsidiary brands of parent companies are unique corporations by themselves. My hair is left perfectly undone, textured and voluminous like I just got back from the beach in movies. This is because “cruelty-free” refers to the animal testing aspect, while “vegan” refers to the ingredients.

I have long hair, 2b wave texture and I would consider my hair medium (not fine but not very thick). This month I want to highlight Prose going back up the list now at rank 19 (+22), same with French brand Cut by Fred now at 23 (+17). Choose to support some of them based on the individual ethics of each parent company, or only purchase from them if there are no independent alternatives. Huge thank you to Shayna and Klaudia from our Product Development Team for revealing and educating to this innovative hydration collection. Choose to boycott them since they’re a part of a larger conglomerate that engages in animal testing.A “vegan” product contains no animal-derived ingredients, such as Beeswax (made by bees), Carmine (a red pigment made from crushed beetles), or Collagen (from mammal or fish skin).
