Cruelty free products are those developed and manufactured without testing on animals, ensuring ethical standards and animal welfare while meeting consumer demand for sustainable and safe cosmetics. The rise in regulatory and societal pressure is due to growing awareness of animal welfare issues and consumer preference for ethical products. Vegan cosmetics support these trends by offering products free from animal-derived ingredients and not tested on animals, aligning with ethical and sustainable standards. For instance, in May 2023, according to the Humane World for Animals, a US-based on-profit organization, the European Citizens’ Initiative “Save Cruelty-Free Cosmetics – Commit to a Europe without Animal Testing” gathered more than 1.2 million validated signatures, and the petition was formally heard in the European Parliament on 25 May 2023. Therefore, the growing regulatory and societal push for cruelty-free products is driving the growth of the vegan cosmetics industry.
