Going 'Cruelty-Free'. Anyone care to join me?

[ILoveMakeUp]

I love my expensive make-up and skincare, but lately I have been feeling increasingly uneasy about animal testing. A brief look on the Peta website has convinced me that I don't want animals to suffer for my vanity.

So, I have decided to go Cruelty-Free. I am using up the products that I already have, but I will only replace them with cruelty-free products. I am trying to get a list together of companies whose products I like that don't test on animals and have come up with the following so far:

Make-up: Stila
Hair: Aveda
Skincare: ??? (especially looking for something 'high end').

A complete ban on the sale of cosmetics developed through animal testing has taken effect in the EU.

I am happy to report that one of my fave brands, L'Occtiane, do not test on animals and never have done. Here is their position on animal testing and what they are doing to persuade China to abandon their current rules. It makes very interesting reading.

Well done L'Occitane!

Jane Iredale makeup is excellent (I love the foundations and bb creams). It's not tested on animals and the company contributes to some worthwhile charities.

Trilogy is another good company - does some lovely facial oils and I swear by the shampoo. Lavera and Weleda are also fabulous and well worth a look.

So glad I found this thread! I'm on a mission to replace the few products I use, and so far have started using Barefaced Beauty's mineral foundation with good results. I really hope they are as cruelty free as they claim or it's back to the drawing board.

"...Tried beauty without cruelty but found the products awful..."
Out of interest Milly what didn't you like about them? I'm thinking of trying their products.
