If you’re a die-hard animal lover, vegan, or just casually concerned about the welfare of our furry friends, shopping for “cruelty-free” beauty products isn’t always easy. We note if products are tested on animals in all our product reviews, but not everyone is so upfront about their cosmetics. Fret not, friends of the furred, finding cruelty-free gifts this season is easier than you think.
Bonus: it seems like many of the animal-friendly companies are also vegan, concerned about the environment, and strict about where they source their products, plus a good share of them actually donate back to animal welfare. Looks like being good to animals is good for you too.

A hand and body lotion to top all hand and body lotions: not only are the ingredients organic (some), but vegan and cruelty-free to boot. The lotion contains lavender with shea butter, jojoba, kukui nut oil, and aloe to soothe and hydrate the skin.
