Charlotte Tilbury is an award-winning makeup & skin care brand created by one of the world’s top makeup artists but is Charlotte Tilbury cruelty-free and vegan?

Is Charlotte Tilbury Cruelty-Free?

Yes, Charlotte Tilbury is Cruelty-free! None of Charlotte Tilbury’s ingredients, formulations, or finished products are tested on animals, anywhere in the world.

Charlotte Tilbury has confirmed they do not test their products or ingredients on animals, they do not allow others to test on their behalf, their suppliers also do not test on animals, and their products are not sold in stores in mainland China or any other country that may require animal testing by law.

*IMPORTANT NOTE: Charlotte Tilbury is currently up for sale to be possibly bought by a non-cruelty-free parent corporation. Current interest and bidders include Unilever, L’Oréal, Shiseido, and Estee Lauder.

If you choose not to support cruelty-free brands owned by a parent corporation then you may want to hold off on buying anything from Charlotte Tilbury for now until the deal is finalized and we hear news if the acquisition will change Charlotte Tilbury’s cruelty-free status.

Below is what’s currently stated on Charlotte Tilbury’s website:
