There's no point in distinguishing between "vegan" and "cruelty-free" certifications.
Various "vegan" certifications (from V-Label, BeVeg, etc.) usually just mean that they don't contain any animal products, including milk, honey, gelatin, meat and eggs, while "cruelty free" certifications (the most common is probably Leaping Bunny) mean that the item and its contents have not been tested on animals. But here's the paradox: veganism is all about doing as little harm to animals and the planet as possible, which means that vegan products can't be tested on animals, because if they were, that would mean they weren't vegan. It's the other way round too: just because a product is labelled "cruelty-free" means that it's not supposed to harm animals in any way. But if it contains animal products, it essentially means that it's not cruelty-free, because (or at least the vast majority of) animal products - as we all know by now - are produced unethically.
