All Natural Skin Care Products Aren’t Tested on Animals
I love cosmetics and skin care products- but I really prefer to use vegan or all natural skin care products instead of the cosmetics being tested on animals. Every year, companies(including cosmetic companies that produce beauty skin care products) injure and kill animals by making them ingest harmful chemicals, inhale harmful aerosol sprays, among other ways. Also, cosmetics being tested on animals are not necessarily good for people as animals have different body chemistry than humans; what could harm an animal might not hurt us and vice versa. Either way, animal testing is wrong, and I won’t partake in it. Now here is how to make sure that you buy natural or vegan products and cosmetics.
1- Does it mention no animal testing? If so, it is probably a safe bet. If not, put it back on the shelf. However it would still be wise to do a little research on the company that makes the product in question. Visit Leaping Bunny.org for more information.
2- Search under online databases for companies that do and don’t test on animals. Caring Consumer has comprehensive lists of both.
3- Buy or make your own natural organic skin care products and makeup products. Simply google natural or environmentally friendly skin care products and you’ll find pages of stores that sell such products. You can also search for natural skin care product and cosmetic recipes and find ways to make your own beauty goodies cruelty free.
You will look just as good in natural products that are not tested on animals- you will also feel better, too.
