Animal testing info
On August 1st 2016, I threw out all products and house hold items that had been tested on animals. As I am someone who owns a lot of makeup and beauty products I wanted to make sure that I was giving my money to companies that are cruelty free and do not test on animals. As of 2016, hundreds of companies have stopped using animal testing and started using science as a way to test their products. Even though the number of non-animal testing companies out weigh the ones that do, there are still many well known companies that continue to test on animals. If you are reading this and don't understand what animals actually endure during animal testing click here to find out. I have put together a list of companies that test on animals, and a list of companies who don't. There are some controversial companies due to certain laws in different countries as to whether they still test on animals or not.
