Chanel is a luxury designer fashion, cosmetics and fragrance brand but is Chanel cruelty-free or vegan in 2021?

Is Chanel perfume vegan?

Chanel has chosen to adhere to policies that do include some form of animal testing. The brand is not cruelty-free because it does agree and also pays for animal testing. The tests are part of the mandatory requirements for the items to be sold in physical stores in Mainland China. The country still insists on all cosmetic brands sold in physical stores in the nation to pay and participate in post-production animal testing.

Chanel does use collagen, lanolin, milk, keratin, honey, elastin, tallow, and other animal-derived ingredients when making many of its products which makes them non-vegan.
