Is Essie Cruelty Free?

I was under the impression that Essie is a cruelty free brand when I purchased this product. However, I scanned the product barcode using the Beagle Freedom Project Cruelty Cutter app and learned Essie Nailcare Good A Cut Above Multi Dimension Top Coat from parent company L'Oreal is NOT cruelty free.I refuse to knowingly purchase products tested on animals!
