Many brands offer cruelty-free sunscreens. Look for certifications like Leaping Bunny or PETA's Beauty Without Bunnies to verify that the brand does not test on animals. Some popular cruelty-free sunscreen brands include Supergoop!, EltaMD (owned by Johnson & Johnson but offers cruelty-free formulations), and Alba Botanica.

Sunscreens bearing certifications from organizations like Leaping Bunny or PETA are not tested on animals. Research brands thoroughly and check their websites or packaging for cruelty-free claims and certifications before purchasing. It's also wise to confirm that their parent company is also cruelty-free.

The cruelty-free status of Nature Republic is complex. While they may not directly test their finished products on animals, their ingredient suppliers might, and they may sell in markets that require animal testing. Research their current policies and certifications to make an informed decision.

Some Korean sunscreens face difficulties being sold in the US due to differences in regulatory approval processes. The FDA has stricter requirements for sunscreen ingredients and formulations compared to South Korea, leading to delays or rejections in the approval process for certain products.
