It's difficult to know where to start when it comes to cruelty-free beauty. What does "vegan" mean vs "cruelty free"? So we've gathered all our resources on the topic below, from stories about products available on Amazon, to vegan haircare, to a cruelty-free beauty 101.

2. Kat Von D has a killer, inclusive makeup range that's PETA-certified, and they're working towards becoming a 100% vegan brand.
3. Beauty Bakerie is a mostly vegan and totally cruelty-free brand that counts actual Beyoncé as a fan. Plus they'll chat you through their products if you're not sure which ones are vegan or not.
4. Colorpop is a cheap way to try out loads of striking new lip colours, that also happen to be PETA-certified as well as totally cute.
5. Lush is a one–stop shop for natural, vegan and cruelty free bath products that won't break the bank. But did you know they did makeup too?

8. There's plenty of cruelty-free haircare options, including the vibrant hair dye range from Manic Panic, which is PETA-certified.
