Order cosmetics guide
Recognizing animal-free cosmetics on the store shelf is not at all easy. In the meantime, there are numerous certificates and labels that help to make the right decision. But even here there are stumbling blocks: an animal-free product is not necessarily completely free of animal suffering. It may contain animal ingredients and is therefore unsuitable for a vegan lifestyle.
Animalfree Research has compiled a guide (in German) that presents the most important labels and their criteria.
