Now that Kat Von D sold her popular makeup brand to Kendo and is no longer part of the brand in any capacity, is KVD Vegan Beauty still cruelty-free in 2021? Find the answers here!
Is Kat Von D Makeup Cruelty-Free?
KVD Vegan Beauty is Cruelty-free! None of KVD Vegan Beauty’s ingredients, formulations, or finished products are tested on animals, anywhere in the world.
However, it should be noted that KVD Vegan Beauty is owned by Kendo, a subsidiary of the LVMH corporation. LVMH engages in animal testing when required by law and is not a cruelty-free corporation.

Their suppliers also do not test on animals nor do they allow their products to be tested on animals when required by law. And finally, their products are not sold in stores in mainland China or any other country that may require animal testing.
