Cécred 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 Cécred fits your conscious beauty values.
Is Cécred Cruelty-Free?
Yes, Cécred is cruelty-free. They don’t test their finished products or ingredients on animals, and neither do their suppliers or any third parties.
Is Cécred Cruelty-Free Certified?
No, Cécred is not yet certified by any organizations. The brand mentions in their FAQ that they’re PETA-certified, but they don’t appear on PETA’s directory. This may mean that they’re in the process of becoming PETA-certified.
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 Cécred Owned By A Cruelty-Free Parent Company?
Cécred 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 Cécred Sold Where Animal Testing Is Required By Law?
Cécred is not sold in China or any other countries 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 Cécred Vegan?
Cécred is not vegan, meaning that some of their products may contain animal-derived 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.
