Tarte Cosmetics: Cruelty-Free Makeup

If you’re looking for a makeup brand that aligns with your beliefs against animal cruelty and also actually gets the job done, consider Tarte Cosmetics, a cruelty-free makeup line that offers smart, eco-friendly products that are fun and easy to use. Its products are made from the finest natural ingredients, like Amazonian clay and plant extracts, to form rich and pigmented formulas for its many consumers. Many of the products, including its Shape Tape concealer, have a cult following among beauty bloggers and gurus.

Tarte makes its products free of parabens, mineral oil, phthalates, triclodan, sodium lauryl sulfate and gluten — all considered harmful ingredients. They are also hypoallergenic and many of the products are also vegan, furthering its commitment to make animal-friendly products.

Tarte is not only a cruelty-free company, it also gives back as well through initiatives such as the Tarte Gives Back campaign, which supports the communities it sources natural ingredients from. The organizations involved with the campaign include the Sea Turtle Conservancy, Habitat for Humanity, March of Dimes and Step Up.
