RMS Beauty offers natural makeup & skincare made with organic ingredients. But is RMS Beauty cruelty-free, vegan, or sustainable? I’ve got the answers here!
Is RMS Beauty Cruelty-Free?
RMS Beauty is Cruelty-free! None of RMS Beauty’s ingredients, formulations, or finished products are tested on animals, anywhere in the world.
RMS Beauty Animal Testing Policy
RMS Beauty has confirmed they do not test their products or ingredients on animals, they do not allow others to test on their behalf, their suppliers also do not test on animals, they do not allow their products to be tested on animals when required by law, and their products are not sold in stores in mainland China or any other country that may require animal testing.
Below is a screenshot of what’s currently stated on RMS Beauty’s website:
In addition, I emailed the company to ask about if they ask others to test on animals or allow their products/ingredients to be tested on animals when required by law. They responded stating,
“We do not have a third party test on animals on our behalf, and we do not and will never test on animals when required by law. Due to our brand’s stance on animal cruelty, we do not ship or sell our products in China at this time.“
Is RMS Beauty Sold in China?
Most imported cosmetics sold in mainland China are required by law to be tested on animals in 2021. However, RMS has confirmed they do not sell their products in retail stores in mainland China and therefore they are not required to test on animals.
RMS Beauty has met all of our criteria in our Cruelty-Free Checklist and is included on our List of Cruelty-Free Brands.
You can find RMS cruelty-free products at Sephora, Beautylish, The Detox Market, Shoppers Drug Mart, and on Amazon.

Not all of RMS Beuaty’s products are vegan as some of their products contain beeswax. However, RMS does have some vegan options.
