Best Cruelty-Free Mascara

Cruelty-Free Mascaras That Even Lash Extension Addicts Will Love

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

If you're thinking of transitioning your beauty routine to cruelty-free, we're here to help. There's no reason that cosmetics brands need to test on animals (it's not required by law in the United States), and many of your favourite brands have sworn off testing on our furry friends. Most beauty junkies don't want to sacrifice makeup quality – especially when it comes to getting long, thick, voluminous lashes — and you don't have to.

We've rounded up some of the blackest, thickest, most incredible mascaras on the market that all happen to be 100 percent cruelty-free. Keep reading to find your next go-to mascara without harming any animals.
