text: I have real mixed feelings about this tbh and i think it depends on whether you are saying vegan as an ethical decision or as a marketing ploy. Its quite possible to declare your products are vegan yet they can still be tested on animals and you can call yourself cruelty free and still use non vegan elements. IMO if you are saying vegan or cruelty free as an ethical decision you would research every element of your product and supply chain and have statements confirming the origin. If its for marketing only or label appeal with some parts not being vegan of CF then it's just greenwashing.
