Cruelty Free Haircare
I still think that, of all beauty categories, finding cruelty free haircare brands in the UK is the most difficult. Most of the biggest brands sold in the UK still test on animals. Even in big supermarkets, I struggle to find a good range of cruelty free haircare.
Here, I have started to create the ultimate list of cruelty free haircare brands. I will keep updating this post as I go along, so if your favourite brand isn’t on this list, let me know and I’ll do some digging to find out if they’re cruelty free!
If you’re shopping in a particular store, see my other cruelty free brand lists:
Cruelty free brands at Superdrug
Cruelty free brands at Sainsbury’s
(Cruelty free brands at Boots is coming soon!)
This list is alphabetised, to make searching easier if you’re looking for a specific brand, and I have included the brands’ cruelty free and vegan certifications. Where a cruelty free brand is owned by a non-cruelty free parent company, I have mentioned this and marked it with an asterisk.
