Is Kevin Murphy Owned By A Cruelty-Free Parent Company?

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 Kevin Murphy Sold Where Animal Testing Is Required By Law?

No, Kevin Murphy 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 Kevin Murphy Vegan? 

Kevin Murphy is cruelty-free but not 100% vegan, meaning that some of their products 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.
