AG Care Cruelty-Free Status
At Conscious Bunny, we go beyond just cruelty-free claims — we also check if a brand is vegan, clean, ethical, and sustainable. Below, find everything you need to decide if AG Care fits your conscious beauty values.
Is AG Care Cruelty-Free?
Yes, AG Care is cruelty-free. The brand doesn’t test its finished products or ingredients on animals, and neither do their suppliers or any third parties.
Is AG Care Cruelty-Free Certified?
Yes, AG Care is certified by PETA.
Companies can be fully cruelty-free without being certified, but certifications are a good indicator of their ethical practices. The most trusted organizations that give out certifications are PETA and Leaping Bunny.
Is AG Care Owned By A Cruelty-Free Parent Company?
AG Care is not owned by a parent company that tests on animals.
Many brands are owned by larger companies (we call them parent companies) like L’Oréal, Estée Lauder, or Procter & Gamble—some of which still conduct animal testing.
Although the parent company may not be cruelty-free, some brands under its umbrella follow strict no-animal-testing policies and are considered cruelty-free.
Some consumers avoid brands with non-cruelty-free parents, while others support the cruelty-free brand itself. We provide this info so you can decide what feels right for you.
Is AG Care Sold Where Animal Testing Is Required By Law?
AG Care is not sold where animal testing is required by law.
In countries like China, some cosmetics still face mandatory animal testing, especially when sold in physical stores.
China has historically required animal testing, but since 2023, brands can enter the Chinese market without funding animal testing. Just remember that while China is easing its rules, not all brands sold there are automatically cruelty-free. Read our detailed guide on Animal Testing Laws In China to learn more.
Is AG Care Vegan?
Yes, AG Care is 100% vegan. The brand confirmed that all its ingredients are vegan and not derived from animal sources. They use a combination of natural ingredients, plant-derived ingredients, and synthetic ingredients.
A brand is considered 100% vegan when all its products contain no animal-derived ingredients. Some brands may offer only a selection of vegan products rather than a fully vegan lineup.

Is AG Care Vegan Certified?
No, AG Care is not certified vegan.
To help you easily identify vegan brands, several organizations like Vegan Action, The Vegan Society, and The Vegetarian Society provide trusted certifications similar to cruelty-free certifications, like PETA and Leaping Bunny.
Is AG Care Clean?
AG Care is not fully a clean beauty brand, but their products are free of some toxic ingredients such as drying sulfates, gluten, DEA, PABA, parabens, DMDMH, and more. However, some of their products still contain ingredients like Phenoxyethanol, EDTA, Tetrasodium EDTA, Styrene – ingredients that aren’t considered clean.
What “clean” means to us:
The term “clean beauty” isn’t regulated, which means brands can use labels like clean, natural, or green without clear standards.
For us, clean beauty means avoiding ingredients such as parabens, phthalates, sulfates, and formaldehyde that are known or suspected to negatively impact human health, animals, or the environment.
Check out our Clean Beauty Brands A-Z list, or use our free Clean Ingredients Checker to determine whether a specific product contains toxic ingredients.
