Founders Story

Cruelty Free Cosmetics was found due to the difficulty in locating animal and eco friendly cosmetics in Ireland.
As a long term vegetarian and environmentalist, I was dynamically looking for cosmetics that I knew were definitely not tested on animals, were vegan and eco-friendly.
Even when I saw 'not tested on animals' or 'we're against animal testing' etc on products, I would always question, 'how do I know'?
From my earlier research while working on my Facebook page 'No To Testing On Animals', I knew that even if the company who produced the product didn't test on animals themselves, they could get other companies to test on their behalf. Also, if a company sells their products to certain parts of the world for example China; China's laws state that all cosmetics imported have to be tested on animals. Therefore, most of the major cosmetic companies have their products tested on animals at some stage.
Knowing this, I decided that people needed to be able to access cosmetics easily and KNOW that what they're buying are 100% animal friendly. After a worldwide search I found companies that I knew I could 100% trust. Their vegan products (using no animal derivatives) are very natural, which makes them kinder to you skin. They are also eco-friendly using recycled and bio-degradable materials.
So today I am the very proud owner of a business that is so close to my heart and I look forward to being able to supply these products to not only Ireland but to overseas customers too.
If there any products you are looking for that aren't available here, please contact me and I will endeavour to do my very best to locate them for you.
Happy shopping!
