About Urban Decay
Urban Decay was founded in 1996 by Pat Holmes, Sandy Lerner, Wende Zomnir and David Soward. Lerner had mixed a raspberry colour with black and discovered she had made a new colour, which inspired them to make a cosmetics company and name the products after urban imagery. Though originally starting off with a limited range of lipsticks, it is now best known for its Naked Range of eyeshadows, which won Instagram over and brought with it a legion of fans.
Is Urban Decay cruelty-free?
You’ll be glad to know that Urban Decay is indeed truly cruelty-free! It does not test on animals and does not sell its products in countries where animal testing is required by law.
Is Urban Decay vegan?
Urban Decay isn’t a vegan brand, as some products contain ingredients like lanolin, however, it does have lots of products that are free from animal products. You can find them here.
