About

The original cruelty free makeup range 

For over 60 years Beauty Without Cruelty has led the way in cruelty free cosmetics. We operate a company wide fixed cut off date.  

Muriel, The Lady Dowding (1908-1993) was born in London. Throughout her life, she was dedicated to the rights of animals and pioneered the development of cruelty free cosmetics, and products suitable for vegetarians. She campaigned in the 1950s to persuade the leaders of the cosmetics industry to change their animal ingredient policies which included wide use of spermaceti from whales and musk from the musk deer. This failed and her determination to provide a constructive alternative led her to set up the Beauty Without Cruelty Cosmetics business. To this day the business continues as a pioneer in ingredient consciousness.

The Beauty Without Cruelty Swan logo encapsulates our brand mission, being associated with the deities of healing waters and the sun. Known for their grace and beauty the swan is symbolic of our mission to deliver beauty by the intertwining of natural elements in our product offering. Beauty Without Cruelty is committed to being at the forefront of ingredient consciousness. Beauty Without Cruelty is based in Suffolk England and is a certified member of the Vegan Society and Cruelty Free International.
