Briogeo offers a full selection of natural hair care products that are fortified with hair healthy oils, antioxidants and vitamins. But I first wanted to know, is Briogeo cruelty-free or vegan?
Is Briogeo Cruelty-Free?
Briogeo is cruelty-free in 2019; none of Briogeo’s products or ingredients are tested on animals, anywhere in the world.
Briogeo Animal Testing Policy (2019)
Briogeo is certified cruelty-free by the Leaping Bunny program. This means Briogeo has verified and confirmed none of their products, ingredients, and formulations are tested on animals. The same goes with their raw ingredient suppliers.
Briogeo confirmed to me that they do not sell their products in-stores in Mainland China (where animal testing is required by law).
I am happy to add Briogeo to ethical elephant’s list of cruelty-free brands!
Is Briogeo Vegan?
Not all of Briogeo products are vegan. At the beginning of 2019, Briogeo informed me that all of their products have been reformulated to be vegan however since then, they have released new products containing honey and have been unclear about the source of the keratin used in their products.
Although not all of Briogeo products are vegan, Briogeo does offer some products suitable for vegans that don’t contain any animal-derived ingredients or by-products.
Briogeo Vegan Product List
Briogeo has told me on two occasions (March 2019 and July 2019), “Starting in 2019, all of our products are now fully vegan! All previous proteins are now
I was previously misinformed and misguided that Briogeo is a 100% vegan brand in 2019, however, the recent release of their ‘Honey Bear Repair’ has led me to conclude Briogeo cannot be considered as a 100% vegan brand.
Although Briogeo is not 100% vegan, they do offer some vegan options. Below is a list of their products that they consider to be vegan:
- Be Gentle, Be Kind Green Tea Shampoo
- Be Gentle, Be Kind Avocado + Quinoa Co-Wash
- Blossom & Bloom Ginseng + Biotin Volumizing Conditioner
- Blossom & Bloom Ginseng + Biotin Volumizing Shampoo
- Blossom & Bloom Ginseng + Biotin Volumizing Blow-Dry Spray
- Rosarco Milk Reparative Leave-In Conditioning Spray
- Rosarco Repair Conditioner
- Rosarco Repair Shampoo
- Rosarco Oil
- Scalp Revival Charcoal + Coconut Micro-Exfoliating Shampoo
- Scalp Revival Charcoal + Tea Tree Scalp Treatment
- Scalp Revival Charcoal + Biotin Dry Shampoo
This vegan product list is updated as frequently as possible, please be aware that formulations may have changed since the publication of this post. If you have new information to suggest one of the above products isn’t vegan, please email me at info@ethicalelephant.com to let me know.

June 26, 2019I love this! Do you know by chance when their full vegan commitment takes place? It’s June 2019, but they still only list certain products as vegan in their FAQ, and others still have silk and honey. Thank you so much for the work you do!

June 27, 2019Hmmm…. I was under the impression that all of their products are now vegan. Would you happen to know the names of the products that still list honey and/or silk in the ingredients? I’ll have to look into this some more!
