Tarte Cosmetics offers an array of high-performance makeup, skincare & beauty products. But is, Tarte cruelty-free in 2019?

Is Tarte Cruelty-Free?

Tarte is cruelty-free; none of their products or ingredients are tested on animals, anywhere in the world. But it should be noted that Tarte is owned by Kose, a parent corporation that is still testing on animals when required by law in 2019.

Some cruelty-free shoppers may wish to boycott brands that are owned by a parent company that test on animals as they feel their money is indirectly supporting and funding animal tests done by the parent company. Learn more about some of the reasons consumers choose to support or boycott such brands in this article here.

Some of the products on the list are NOT vegan: for example, the amazonian clay 12-hour foundation has honey AND pearl extract.

Their website also lists it as vegan, which is not true. I haven’t looked at other products, but it’s good to know you can’t trust what they say. Vegans beware.

Do you know if the sunless tanners from Tarte are vegan? I thought they were but I don’t see them on the list. The Brazilliance Plus is my favorite.

Hi Vicky,

Tarte’s site and your list both state that the Amazonian clay waterproof bronzer is vegan, but carmine is listed as an ingredient. do you know why?

  You’re right.. Tarte isn’t a 100% vegan brand. They do use some animal ingredients in some of their makeup. But thankfully, they do offer SOME vegan options! and that’s the point of this list.. to help shoppers figure out which of Tarte’s products are considered vegan. If one of the products I’ve listed here isn’t vegan, I would be happy to look into it and remove it from this list. Please let me know which eyeshadow palette you’re referring to =)
