Animal Testing

Firstly, It is not unknown to us that there are a vast amount of international companies that are still testing their products on innocent animals. Yes, the MAC lipstick you swear by or the Estée Lauder foundation you can't live without are just some of the products that are tested using animals as objects of experimentation.

If this doesn't bother you then you need to take a look at your ethical priorities but if you want to know more then read on....

Bunny Free App

Above is a screenshot of the search page of 'Bunny Free', the app that can be used by conscious customers to provide ethical information. You can search by company name or simply browse through companies which 'Test' 'Don't Test' or search for both at the same time to learn more. It is an amazing app and it gives you links to the company websites and whether or not they have the PETA logo on their products.

Don't be fooled

There are a lot of sub companies of major brands who claim to be 'cruelty free', yet they are owned by these parent companies who have no problem testing their products on innocent little animals.

For example:

Urban Decay featured below who claim to be cruelty free and even have the PETA logo on their products, is owned by L'Oreal just like The Body Shop.

Guilt Free Products

Unlike a lot of the 'sub companies', there are hundreds of completely cruelty free alternatives for make up, skin care and body care with no affiliation to 'Parent Companies'. Some examples of these companies are:

Gosh Cosmetics, Jane Iredale, Kat Von D, La Rocca Skincare
Picture
And also... Marc Jacobs Beauty, Ted Baker and one of my favourites, LUSH Cosmetics
Picture
E.L.F is also one of my favourites not featured on the app but can be bought online and in some department stores around the world. The absolute best thing about these products is that they are so affordable and such quality products. I am a devout lover of Jane Iredale BB cream, E.L.F palettes and LUSH face masks and moisturisers.

Make the right choice

Its 2016 and we are in a position to make a change and to stop promoting this horrible act of cruelty from happening. The thing is, there is no law that says animals have to be used to determine if a product is fit for our use or not and when there are safe alternatives then we should be using them as standard right?

Do your part, and next time you shop, use the Bunny App to scan a brand before you chose to support them. Give your support to the ethical companies and feel good about what products you are using.
