Is Charlotte Tilbury Cruelty-Free And Vegan?

About Charlotte Tilbury

Is Charlotte Tilbury Vegan?

Charlotte Tilbury is not 100% vegan, however it does have an edit including many products that contain a completely vegan formula.

Is Charlotte Tilbury cruelty-free?

This is currently unclear at the time of writing. This is because, while it was generally believed to be cruelty-free as they did not sell in countries where animal testing is required by law, Charlotte Tilbury appeared to be giving samples in China (a country that requires animal-testing) last year in a pop-up through another retailer. This was made possible due to a loophole where products could be bought in the store but through online means, so it would be shipped to the customer. This cross-border way of shopping meant that Charlotte Tilbury could bypass having to test the products on animals. 

This was a grey area as should any customer ask for it to be tested, Charlotte Tilbury may legally be liable to do this. As a result, it remains somewhat unclear if Charlotte Tilbury is actually cruelty-free; although the pop-ups have now stopped, many websites such as Ethical Elephant and Cruelty-Free Kitty appear to also be uncertain at this time.
