Cruelty Free Cosmetics


Testing cosmetics on animals is used to ensure saftey and to test hypoallergenic properties for humans. There has been a huge backlash of this due to the severe harm animals must go through for this. Animals are usually involved either in the finished products or the individual ingredients. The products are applied to areas wear the mucous membranes are located. Areas like the nose, eyes and or mouth are used to determine where people often get reactions.

I have researched a list from PETA.ORG of cosmetic companies who are animal cruelty free! Here are some participating cosmetic companies
