Why Cruelty-Free Matters at Lab Roots Skincare
At Lab Roots Skincare, creating effective skincare without compromising ethics has been a priority from day one. Choosing to make our products cruelty-free wasn’t just a business decision—it was the right thing to do.
A Love for Animals and Ethical Skincare
A love and respect for animals has always been present in our journey. Growing up, our founder, Kierra Crawl, spent her early teen years volunteering at Pet Shotz, Inc., a veterinary clinic dedicated to compassionate animal care. That experience reinforced the importance of treating all living beings with kindness and made cruelty-free skincare feel like the natural choice.
The Reality of Animal Testing in Beauty
Despite advancements in alternative testing methods, animal testing remains a harsh reality in the beauty industry:
• Over 100 million animals are used in lab experiments globally each year.
• An estimated 500,000 animals suffer and die annually in cosmetic testing.
• Rabbits, mice, guinea pigs, and other small animals are often subjected to painful procedures, including skin irritation and toxicity tests.
• While more than 40 countries have banned animal testing for cosmetics, it remains legal in several major markets.
Making a Difference, One Choice at a Time
The beauty industry is evolving, and consumers now have the power to push for change by choosing cruelty-free brands. At Lab Roots Skincare, we ensure that none of our products or ingredients are tested on animals, working with manufacturers that uphold the same values. Skincare should be effective, ethical, and kind to the world around us.
