about Amika
Amika is listed as cruelty-free by PETA, and its own help centre says it is certified under the Leaping Bunny / Cruelty Free International programme. Most of the range is vegan, but a few products contain sheep's wool keratin or honey, and I couldn't find a vegan certification. Majority-owned by the private equity firm Bansk Group since 2022.
