The Best Natural, Organic, Vegan Mascaras

Shopping and finding a cruelty-free, vegan, and natural mascara have been made easier with this shopping guide list!

Why natural and organic ingredients matter in mascara?

Conventional mascara contains dangerous chemicals and when used daily, these toxins can get into our skin and can lead to all sorts of health problems. Some harmful ingredients that we should avoid in our tube of mascara include parabens, synthetic dyes, formaldehyde, propylene glycol, and polybutene.

Why cruelty-free and vegan mascara matters?

Equally important, we want to make sure our natural and organic mascara isn’t harming any animals as well! That’s why finding a brand that doesn’t test on animals and a mascara that doesn’t contain any animal-derived ingredients like carmine, lanolin, or beeswax will help to save animals from harm and suffering.

Please note: most natural and organic mascara brands contain beeswax as an ingredient, making them not vegan. But the mascaras mentioned below are beeswax-free and 100% vegan!

List of Natural & Vegan Mascara

Now let’s get into the list of natural, organic, and vegan mascaras! All the products mentioned below are 100% vegan and do not contain any animal-derived ingredients and do not contain commonly known harsh chemicals and ingredients. They’re also great for those with sensitive eyes or for contact lens wearers.

    Hi There!

    I was looking at your website for a Cruelty-Free and Vegan Water-Resistant Eyeliner and Concealor.

    It wasn’t clear if the mascaras under, “Best-Natural-Organic-Vegan_mascaras” are also cruelty free?

    Can you make a recommendation for a good CF, Vegan and Water Resistant Eyeliner and Concealor?

    All the best,

    Carissa G

    1. Hi Carissa,

      Yes! All the products and brands that I suggest are cruelty-free and not tested on animals. I exclusively only use cruelty-free and vegan products so you can be sure anything I recommend or suggest on my blog is also CF and Vegan! =)

      I love Kat Von D’s Tattoo Liner, which is waterproof. Or if you’re looking for one that has more natural ingredients, then I would recommend 100% Pure’s Long Last Liquid Eye Liner.

      For concealers, here are some cruelty-free and vegan options available at Sephora: https://ethicalelephant.com/cruelty-free-vegan-concealers-sephora/

      If you don’t mind parent company animal testing, then Tarte’s Shape Tape Concealer is highly recommended. Tarte is cruelty-free but they are owned by a parent company, Kose, that unfortunately does still test on animals which some consumers feel that by purchasing Tarte cosmetics, they are indirectly funding more animal tests done by their parent company. But others don’t have a problem with this and choose to keep buying from Tarte because they are cruelty-free. Not sure what your stance is, but thought I’d give you some options =)

  2. hello. i’m looking for a cruelty-free clear mascara that harden up a fair amount and won’t smudge on my glasses. your advice please! thank-you.

    1. Hi Kyra,

      Hmm.. that’s interesting. I think they reformulated their mascara since the publication of this post and unfortunately, the new formula contains beeswax. The wand also looks a little different so I think this may be an entirely new product and they’ve stopped production of the vegan version. Thanks for letting me know! =) I’ve updated this list and made a note that it’s no longer vegan.
