Is Mario Badescu Cruelty Free?
Several of you have asked, “Is Mario Badescu cruelty free?” Years ago, I was a huge fan of their products, and I even reviewed them here on My Beauty Bunny. Then at some point, I saw that they were selling in China, so I had to put them on the do not buy list. (NOTE: their rep says they were never in China, so my recollection of WHY they were on the naughty list may be a bit fuzzy.) Recently, my assistant, Jenna, heard that they were once again cruelty free. I reached out to the brand, and they were able to answer all of my cruelty free questions. I’m happy to say that Mario Badescu is cruelty free!
Their answer to question number four (regarding ingredient suppliers) might seem wishy washy, but I believe they are just trying to avoid lawsuits in case their vendors ever go against their written statements about animal testing. It’s a smart move to avoid getting sued, and it doesn’t bother me. It could also potentially mean that their ingredient suppliers are testing (or could test in the future) OTHER ingredients that Mario Badescu does not purchase. That’s something they cannot control. Asking their vendors to sign statements saying they do not test is more than many companies do.
What Are The Top 10 Best Mario Badescu Skin Care Products?
The Mario Badescu collection is a comprehensive line of products with more than 200 items, including day creams , night creams , eye creams , facial sprays and serums. Here’s a breakdown of the top 10 best Mario Badescu skin care products.
Mario Badescu Drying Lotion
Additional blemish-fighting ingredients in Mario Badescu Drying Lotion include calamine, sulfur, zinc oxide, and salicylic acid.
One thing you’ll notice about Mario Badescu Drying Lotion is that there’s a separation of pink sediment at the bottom and clear liquid on top, which may tempt you to shake the bottle. But no matter how tempted you are, don’t shake the bottle!
Bottom Line: Mario Badescu Drying Lotion is an acne spot treatment that combines isopropyl alcohol with calamine, sulfur, zinc oxide, and salicylic acid to help dry out blemishes overnight.
Mario Badescu Facial Spray
Mario Badescu Facial Spray is a rejuvenating mist infused with herbal and botanical extracts that help soothe and hydrate skin, resulting in a healthy, radiant glow. It can be used to give your makeup a dewy finish, as a midday pick-me-up, or anytime you need to revive dehydrated skin.
There’s quite a few humectants in this formula, including propylene glycol, aloe vera, and bladderwrack extract. These ingredients bind moisture, thereby improving hydration in the upper layers of skin.
The one thing we don’t love about this formula is the inclusion of fragrance ingredients. While fragrance certainly creates a pleasant sensorial experience, these fragrance ingredients have the potential to cause skin irritation.
That’s because all fragrance ingredients (whether natural or synthetic) impart scent through a volatile reaction, and this natural reaction almost always causes a sensitizing reaction on skin. Even if you don’t have a full blown reaction to the ingredient, the damage may still be occurring every day.
The recycling of VSCO Girl fashion
As mentioned on social media, if you’re of a certain age, you’ve already seen this look pretty much verbatim. I went to Catholic school with these girls in the 1990s. I might have been a VSCO Girl in my early teens: huge T-shirts (I remember being fond of one Coed Naked shirt), Birkenstocks, hemp necklaces, Grateful Dead stickers everywhere (I didn’t know better). Replace the Hydro Flask or Starbucks cup with a reusable 7-11 Big Gulp cup. Teens today know how to do their makeup much better, though.
But I do remember wearing that look because it was what other girls were wearing—and because I was self-conscious about my body. We all were.

Frequently Asked Questions
Facial mist sprays and toners serve distinct purposes in a skincare routine, but there can be some overlap in their functions.
A facial mist spray is primarily designed to provide a quick burst of hydration and refreshment to the skin. It often comes in a spray form, allowing for easy application throughout the day.
Facial mists can contain water, botanical extracts, and humectants to add moisture to the skin.
Toners may contain a variety of ingredients such as antioxidants, exfoliants, or soothing agents, depending on their formulation.
While both facial mist sprays and toners contribute to skin hydration, toners are generally more focused on prepping the skin for other products and addressing specific skincare concerns, while facial mists are often used for on-the-go hydration and a refreshing feel.
Individuals may choose to use one or both in their skincare routine based on their skin’s needs and personal preferences.
Facial mist sprays, while offering a quick and refreshing hydration boost, may have disadvantages.
Some formulations can contain allergens or comedogenic ingredients, potentially causing skin irritation or clogged pores, especially for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin.
Overuse or using mists with heavy oils might contribute to product buildup and skin issues. Additionally, facial mists should not replace a complete skincare routine, as they often provide temporary hydration and lack long-lasting moisturizing effects.
Consideration of environmental impact, especially with aerosol spray packaging, is also important. To minimize drawbacks, choose products with minimal ingredients, perform patch tests, and incorporate facial mists thoughtfully within a well-rounded skincare regimen. If in doubt, seek advice from a dermatologist.
Facial mist sprays, when formulated with non-comedogenic (non-pore-clogging) ingredients, are generally unlikely to clog pores.
