In light of the recent #SaveRalph‘s short film by Taika Waititi that has been circulating around social media, we’ve decided to contribute to the movement by compiling five of the best local beauty brands in Malaysia that are cruelty-free and therefore, guilt-free.
# Nita Cosmetics
Their iconic lip products are not to be slept on! Truly a Malaysian-made brands, you'll find a strong sense of home in every product they release as NITA proudly incorporates local customs, traditions, and even cuisine into the name and packaging of their products. Where else can you get a mini lipstick bundle labeled "Ikat Tepi"?

# Fever Glam
It's relatively rare to find a mascara from a local brand that actually works and Fever Glam really came through with the non-clumping formulation, specially curated for Asian eyes. Another customer's favorites are their matte lip creams, which come in attractive, wearable shades that you'd most likely use every day.

# Kamelia Cosmetics
The review says it all, isn't it? It's such a nice sight witnessing our local brands continuing to step up their game and knowing that we could get our hands on good quality makeup products locally, and we could tuck ourselves in at night knowing there's no animals harmed in the making of these cosmetic products.
