  1. Vegan product availabilityCompany's own statement

    Supports: Charlotte Tilbury is not fully vegan as a brand; however, the company offers a substantial range of vegan products across its makeup and skincare collections. Many products contain animal-derived ingredients such as beeswax, lanolin, carmine, and honey, but individual product lines and specific shades have vegan formulations available.

  2. Supports: Charlotte Tilbury states on its website that all products are cruelty-free and the brand does not test on animals. The brand was Leaping Bunny certified from September 2021 onwards, but delisted around 2025 when Cruelty Free International retired the old Leaping Bunny logo. The brand's official website states its cruelty-free commitment remains unchanged. The brand does not sell special-use cosmetics (such as SPF products) in mainland China but does sell general cosmetics there under regulations that allow imported cosmetics without animal testing when specific criteria are met.

  3. Puig Animal Testing PolicyCompany's own statement

    Supports: Puig has published an Animal Testing Policy stating full compliance with EU animal testing ban and commitment to eradicate animal testing on cosmetics worldwide. However, Puig is listed on PETA's 'Companies That Do Test On Animals' list, indicating that the company or its brands manufacture products tested on animals at some stage of development, likely through subsidiary brands' sales in regulated markets like mainland China.
