The BEST Cruelty Free Cleaning Products that work AND are not tested on animals.

CRUELTY FREE VS VEGAN CLEANING PRODUCTS

Is there a difference? Absolutely! Let's clear up any confusion. Cruelty-free means the product is not tested on animals, while vegan means no animal-derived ingredients are used in the making of the product. A product can be both cruelty-free and vegan. But a cruelty-free product may still contain animal products, and a vegan product may have been tested on animals.

I just tried a sample of the multi-surface cleaner from The Honest Co. and love knowing that it’s cruelty-free and free of toxins. I’m trying to switch out all of my household products. Thanks for the great roundup!

It is good to see that companies and making these kind of products . I have used the squirt cleaner and it is good now i will try their skin products because those seem to be very good too.

These products are worth buying as i have bought some of their cleaners and they are better than the others. Try out the bug spray i use it in my clinic as well.

Isn’t GLYCERIN an animal product? … it’s listed as an ingredient in the Williams Sonoma Dish Soap.

Cruelty free doesn’t mean Vegan!

Um….there is vegetable glycerin…I use it to make soap. So actually you can have cruelty products with glycerin…
