I love how light and moisturized this lip balm feels and I especially love how it doesn't leave that waxy feeling behind 👌🏻

Most lip balms on the market contain beeswax, lanolin, or honey, making them NOT vegan. And then there are some other brands that are NOT cruelty-free including Nivea, Chapstick, EOS*, Blistex, Aquaphor, and Vaseline.
.
*Note: EOS is sold in-stores in China but they claim that since they manufacture their products in China, they do not need to test on animals as required by law. However, EOS' products are still at risk of POST-market animal testing where Chinese officials will pull products off from store shelves and test them on animals, this is often done without the company's knowledge or consent. So at this time, we do not feel comfortable classifying any beauty brand selling their products in-stores in China to be "cruelty-free" to our standards.

Pretty Vulgar is a new vintage-inspired makeup brand sold at Sephora.
Is Pretty Vulgar Cruelty-Free in 2019?
Pretty Vulgar is cruelty-free; none of their products or ingredients are tested on animals, anywhere in the world.
Pretty Vulgar states on their website’s FAQ that their products are cruelty-free and Pretty Vulgar proudly displays PETA’s Beauty Without Bunnies logo on their website.
Since this isn’t enough information for me to classify Pretty Vulgar to be cruelty-free to our standards, I reached out to them to ask for more details in regards to their animal testing policy and received a response I was pleasantly satisfied with:
“Pretty Vulgar is 100% Cruelty Free, we do not and will not conduct animal testing on any ingredient or formulation. And we will not purchase any ingredient or formulation from a 3rd party manufacturer or supplier that does so either.”
and when asked if their products are sold in-stores in Mainland China where animal testing is required by law for all imported cosmetics, Pretty Vulgar responded:
“We are currently only sold in the US and Canada! So no.”
With the response I received from Pretty Vulgar, I am now happy to confirm that Pretty Vulgar is cruelty-free!
