Smith & Cult creates products to help you live your best life by providing innovative makeup and nail polish, color, and performance to match your mood. But is Smith & Cult cruelty-free, vegan, or sustainable? I’ve got the answers here!
Is Smith & Cult Cruelty-Free?
Smith & Cult is Cruelty-free! None of Smith & Cult’s ingredients, formulations, or finished products are tested on animals, anywhere in the world.
In addition, Smith & Cult is certified cruelty-free by Leaping Bunny.
Smith & Cult Animal Testing Policy
Smith & Cult claims to be “cruelty-free” but other than that, I couldn’t find any other information about Smith & Cult’s animal testing policy on their website.
So I reached out to Smith & Cult and they confirmed to me that they do not test their products or ingredients on animals, they do not ask any third parties to test their products or ingredients on animals on their behalf, they receive confirmation from their raw material suppliers that they also do not test on animals, and none of their products are sold in foreign markets that require animal testing (ie. China).
Is Smith & Cult Sold in China?
Most imported cosmetics sold in mainland China are required by law to be tested on animals in 2021. However, Smith & Cult has confirmed they do not sell their products in retail stores in mainland China and therefore they are not required to test on animals.
Smith & Cult has met all of our criteria in our Cruelty-Free Checklist and is included on our List of Cruelty-Free Brands.
You can find Smith & Cult’s cruelty-free products on Amazon or at Ulta and Beautylish.
Is Smith & Cult Vegan?
Not all of Smith & Cult’s products are vegan as some of their products contain animal-derived ingredients or by-products. However, Smith & Cult does have some vegan options.
Below is a list of Smith & Cult vegan products.
You can also find out which Smith & Cult products are vegan as they’re marked accordingly on their website under each product description. See below for an example.

Is Smith & Cult Sustainable?
Smith & Cults headquarters is based in: Miami, Florida
Smith & Cults’ products are manufactured in: the US, Canada, Italy, and Denmark
“Our products are made and manufactured in different countries such as the U.S., Canada, Italy, and Denmark depending on the product.”
Smith & Cult does not claim to be a sustainable company.
Additionally, I wasn’t able to find any available information on Smith & Cult’s sustainability, environmental, and social initiatives.
Ingredients and Formulations Claims: Some of Smith & Cult’s products claim to be Gluten-Free, Synthetic Fragrance-Free, Mineral Oil-Free, and Talc-Free. Check the product description to learn more about each product’s claims.
Is Smith & Cult’s Mica Ethically-Sourced? Smith & Cult claims all of their ingredients are “ethically-sourced”. However, it’s not clear where their mica is mined or sourced from and how they track or audit to ensure no child labor was involved.
“All of our ingredients are ethically sourced and we ensure that our suppliers comply with social audits.”
I hope this article helped you to understand Smith & Cult’s cruelty-free and vegan status and by choosing cruelty-free together, we can help end animal testing for cosmetics once and for all!
