When beauty and skincare products are labeled as "cruelty-free," it means that they have been manufactured and developed without any animal testing. Cruelty-free products are not tested on animals at any stage of their production, including the ingredients used in their formulation and the final product itself.

Historically, many cosmetics and personal care products were tested on animals to ensure their safety for human use. However, due to ethical concerns regarding animal welfare, there has been a growing demand for alternatives to animal testing. As a result, many companies have adopted cruelty-free practices and have developed new methods for testing the safety and efficacy of their products without using animals.
It's worth noting that cruelty-free only refers to the testing aspect of a product and does not guarantee that the product is entirely free from animal-derived ingredients. If a product is also vegan, it means it does not contain any animal-derived ingredients, making it both cruelty-free and suitable for vegans. Sugar Sugar products are proudly both cruelty-free and vegan.
