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.

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.
