Cruelty-free Beauty Products in my travel bag

Three Inexpensive Brands of Cruelty-free Beauty Products in my travel bag

As we all know, 2020 turned out to be a non-traveling year for many of us. My husband and I were last on a trip in January 2020 to Vegas and are so grateful to have had that experience before “shut down.” So in the meantime, my cosmetics bag is packed with cruelty-free beauty products and ready to go – as soon as there is a Covid vaccine!

I value beauty brands that aren’t tested on animals. As a consumer and dog mom, I like to buy products that align with my values. So below are my favorite cruelty-free beauty products I take with me when I travel.

And, as always, I’m using cruelty-free beauty products at home too. Ya know, in this unending Staycation that we call 2020.

My favorite cruelty-free beauty products are from inexpensive, easy-to-find brands:

  • Cover Girl
  • Burt’s Bees
  • The Body Shop

All three of these brands are on the Leaping Bunny list, the gold-standard of cruelty-free products. A Leaping Bunny certification means that the company agrees to do no future animal testing on either the finished product or any of its ingredients.

And actually, the USA is behind-the-times in regard to testing on animals. The European Union banned the sale of cosmetics that have been tested on animals. So in the meantime, as an American consumer, I use the Leaping Bunny list to choose cruelty-free brands when it comes to beauty products, bath soap, dish soap, laundry soap, etc.
