Are Resin Pigments Cruelty-Free and Vegan Friendly?

← Back to Which pigments can I use for resin?

For many resin artists and makers, choosing pigments that are both cruelty-free and vegan friendly is an important part of creating ethically conscious art. But are resin pigments on the market suitable for vegan and cruelty-free practice?

Understanding Cruelty-Free and Vegan Pigments

Cruelty-free pigments are those developed and produced without testing on animals, while vegan-friendly pigments contain no animal-derived ingredients. When selecting resin pigments, especially for epoxy projects, it’s reassuring to know which lines meet both ethical standards. The highly popular Colourfun Set as well as the main metallic pigment ranges are consciously formulated to be cruelty free and vegan friendly, offering peace of mind to artists wishing to avoid animal-based products.

Choosing Ethical Resin Pigments

Look for products with clear information regarding their cruelty-free and vegan status. Resin Pro’s Colourfun range, including both liquid and paste colourants, proudly highlights this ethical commitment. The Iridron Metallic Pigments and their floating effect also fall into the cruelty-free and vegan friendly category, making them a safe choice for those who wish to align their creative work with personal values.

Colourfun Set: Reliable for solid, vibrant colours in jewellery, coasters, and fluid art.
Iridron Metallics: Excellent for mirror-like metallic effects with ethical credentials.
Always check current product details for up-to-date ethical standards.

When This Matters Most

Selecting vegan and cruelty-free pigments is especially significant if you sell your resin work, participate in ethical markets, or wish to communicate an eco-conscious approach to your customers. It ensures your creations align not only with art but also with responsible ethics.
