@ellysplate: day 25/30 of vegan school 🐰⭐️ yesterday was cruelty free, today let’s talk about why that's NOT the same as vegan (stay with me divas!!!) vegan = no animal-derived ingredients cruelty free = not tested on animals 🚩 "vegan ingredients" but not cruelty free: some brands love to slap a ‘vegan formula’ on their packaging but still allow animal testing, often so they can sell in markets that require it. always check that they have a cruelty free certification before falling for their very sneaky marketing 🫠 🚩 cruelty free but not vegan: many certified cruelty free brands still use ingredients like beeswax or carmine. the logo covers testing, not what's in the tube, here are the ingredients to watch out for… ❌ carmine/CI 75470: red pigment made from crushed beetles, found in pink/red blushes and lipsticks ❌ beeswax/cera alba: check balms, mascaras, lip products ❌ lanolin: from sheep's wool, found in lip balms and creams ❌ shellac: from lac bugs, used in nail polish and some mascaras ❌ guanine / CI 75170: shimmer (mostly eyeshadows) made from fish scales ❌ honey: in lots of lil balms ❌ collagen/keratin/elastin: often from animal tissue, hooves or hair ❌ snail mucin/snail secretion filtrate ❌ silk/sericin ❌ milk/casein

AND ALSO it can have a leaping bunny on it to say it’s “cruelty free” but it CAN contain animal products. So it’s made of animals but it’s fine bc it wasn’t tested on them ??????????

Veganism is the moral stance against exploitation. There should be a law against calling non-cruelty free products vegan.

Don't let non-vegan marketers tell you what vegan means. I guarantee you if the product says vegan and was tested on animals it is just the word vegan on the package, not the certification label. Name and shame the brand, email them, ask them why they are intentionally misusing the term. Link them the verbage of the certification which says no animal testing. Report them for deceptive marketing.
