Animal Testing

At NAHLA, cruelty-free skincare isn’t a marketing ploy – it’s the way we’ve been making skincare since we founded our company in 2001. We take the wellbeing of animals very seriously and work hard to ensure our products are 100% cruelty-free at every stage of the manufacturing process - from ingredient sourcing to finished formula. 

We maintain close relationships with our farmers and suppliers, taking great pains to ensure every natural ingredient we source is never tested on animals at any stage of the growing or post-harvest process. Next, we scratch-manufacture our entire skincare collection at our Coastal Maine Headquarters. This allows us a uniquely thorough level of oversight of the production process, from the moment our raw plant materials start their journey to becoming organic skincare, to the day your package arrives on your doorstep. 

NAHLA is certified by Leaping Bunny and our entire collection is vegetarian, with the majority of products also being vegan. You'll find the "vegetarian" or "vegan" designation on the formula tab of every product. The only animal ingredients we do use in our products are beeswax, honey and royal jelly from our own sustainably managed biodynamic apiary, where our bees are lovingly tended by NAHLA's CEO + Founder Nicole and organic milk and buttermilk from a local organic farm.
