Is Bare Republic Cruelty-Free?
🐰 Bare Republic is a cruelty-free brand. None of Bare Republic’s ingredients or products are tested on animals anywhere in the world.
How Did We Conclude Bare Republic is Cruelty-Free?
Bare Republic has met all the criteria in our Cruelty-Free Checklist, which includes ALL of the following:
- ✓ Bare Republic confirmed they do not test their products or ingredients on animals or ask others to test on their behalf.
- ✓ Bare Republic confirmed all their ingredient suppliers do not test on animals
- ✓ Bare Republic confirmed they do not allow or sell their products under conditions where animal testing is required by law
By meeting all of our Cruelty-Free Criteria, Bare Republic is a truly cruelty-free brand by our standards.
Is Bare Republic Certified Cruelty-Free?
Yes. PETA recognizes Bare Republic as cruelty-free. But Bare Republic is NOT certified cruelty-free by Leaping Bunny or Cruelty Free International.
Is Bare Republic Sold in China?
Bare Republic has confirmed they do NOT currently sell their products in retail stores in mainland China; therefore, they are not required to test on animals.
What’s going on with China’s animal testing laws in 2024? Some cosmetics sold in China can be exempt from animal testing under certain conditions. However, without meeting those conditions, animal testing is still legally required for most cosmetics sold in China in 2023.
Is Bare Republic Vegan?
⭐️ Bare Republic is a 100% vegan brand. All their products are vegan, and are formulated without any animal-derived ingredients or by-products.
Are Bare Republic‘s Products Certified Vegan?
No. Bare Republic’s vegan products are NOT certified vegan by an official or third-party vegan designation. Bare Republic’s vegan products are self-reported and defined by the brand itself.
Where are Bare Republic’s products made?
When I asked Bare Republic where their products manufactured, they told me:
“Our products are made and manufactured in the USA.”
Ethical Mica Mining Policy
Mica is a mineral that’s used in cosmetics to add a shimmery effect. But the mining of natural mica has been linked to child labor and human rights violations.
Unless the company discloses its mica mining policy, we have no way of knowing whether its mica is ethically sourced without child or forced labor.
So I asked Bare Republic if their mica is ethically sourced without the use of child labor and they responded by stating,
“We incorporate the use of both natural and synthetic micas in our Bare Republic shimmer products. We only use natural micas if we can ensure they are mined responsibly, and we require documentation verifying the sourcing strategy from each of our suppliers. In all other cases, we choose to use synthetic micas made in a lab, and sustainability is ensured. Additionally, our micas are sourced responsibly, which covers both how our mica is mined and a no-tolerance policy on child labor. Our mica suppliers do not employ workers below 18 and enforce this requirement at all facilities worldwide.”
