Lumene is a popular Finnish beauty brand, sold on Amazon and in select CVS and Target stores. But first I wanted to know, is Lumene cruelty-free or vegan?
Is Lumene Cruelty-Free?
Lumene is cruelty-free; none of Lumene’s products or ingredients are tested on animals, anywhere in the world.
Lumene’s Animal Testing Statement
Lumene is not certified cruelty-free by a third party organization like PETA or Leaping Bunny and there was no mention of Lumene’s animal testing policy on their website.
They do claim “no animal testing” and “vegan skincare” briefly on their website. But other than those generic terms, no other information could be found on their website.
I emailed Lumene to ask for details about their animal testing policy and they responded with the following:
“
We only use suppliers that donβt use animal testing. Itβs against the EU cosmetics legislation for suppliers in
At the moment Lumene products are not available in China and we are not planning to enter the Chinese market so that we would need to give up on our position on animal testing.”
Based on their thorough and detailed response, I would consider Lumene to be a cruelty-free brand!
Is Lumene Vegan?
Most of Lumene products are vegan including their skincare products, foundations, and their whole Invisible Illumination collection are fully vegan. However, not all of Lumene products are considered vegan.
Please reference below for a list of Lumene vegan products.
