In business since 1931, Almay Cosmetics is one of the world’s oldest cruelty-free cosmetics companies. Even during the 1930’s, Almay used pure, hypoallergenic ingredients that were safe for even the most sensitive skin.

Almay is the world’s first hypoallergenic cosmetics brand, and the first brand to make 100% fragrance-free products. It was also one of the first cosmetics companies to disclose all ingredients used, the first brand to perform safety testing for allergy irritation, the first brand to formulate for contact lens wearers, and the first brand to create cosmetics regimens for specific skin types. Almay does not test on animals.
