While most people confuse vegan cosmetics with cruelty-free cosmetics, both of them are different in ways. Let us read the blog further to find out more about the differences between the too, and not get fooled.

Cruelty-free products are the ones that are not tested on animals of any kind. However, it is not always necessary that a cruelty-free product is also vegan.

Hence, it is possible that if you see a cosmetic product labeled "Cruelty-Free" is also vegan. However, a product labeled vegan might contain the "bi-products" of animals, like honey, beeswax, collagen, lanolin, albumen, cholesterol, carmine, or gelatin, among other ingredients procured without any cruelty to animals.
