Great article. I really enjoyed reading it. It was both entertaining and helpful. Now, I'll be more careful buying from companies that harm animals. Complete Makeup Guide..

I Agree With Your Post Of Comments…..On the good note, there are companies out there that are animal friendly and use only natural plant based oils and other plant ingredients in their Bath and Body products.

It\’s a good thing that you brought up this information to us. I personally don\’t check the ingredients on the cosmetics that i bought. As long as I love the color and it blends on my skin.

Been using cosmetics since I was a teenager. Oh yes, I never read its content as long as I love the color and I look to the brands too. This has been a great post. I should be aware of what are the things I buy.

i have thought that it is the human freindly and for making cosmetics items there is no need of the killing animals

That’s a shame about squalene. Thing is like you said, olive oil is actually an “endangered” product as well, very much dependent on the weather conditions for harvest output. You may have noticed that the price of olive oil keeps increasing. Thankfully there are many types of oil cosmetic companies can use instead of olive oil.

Thanks for the post. The first thing that I generally look for first is (as you mentioned) the not tested on animals label. The other key is to ensure for vegans is making sure that none of the ingredients have animal-based extracts

Nice post. It is a good reminder to the consumers. Before buying lotion, lipstick or lip gloss examine the product ingredients. That way you can prevent yourself from violating the animal rights. Thanks for the post.

Well we still have to use animals for testing of medicines and medical procedures, however testing for cosmetics is pretty disgusting.

It is safer though to have done these tests, less chance of violent allergic reactions for users.

In this day and age I can’t believe we still use animals for testing and as ingredients for ridiculous reasons.
People if you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem. A quick search online will give you info on what cosmetics company still use animal testing, please help this industry change their ways.

I’m sorry, after the whole thing with Chinese cosmetics I see no point in buying anything that’s not animal friendly (and nothing against Chinese of course, it just seems like their quality control isn’t what it should be) . It’s so easy to do too, just read labels.. well just my 2 cents. —T

It is very sad that sharks are being killed just for their livers, so that big companies can make big money off of it. On the good note, there are companies out there that are animal friendly and use only natural plant based oils and other plant ingredients in their Bath and Body products. Best Bath Store is one of those companies. Check out their website, but clicking on the Bath and Body link.

Yeah, after watching cable specials and talk shows regarding bacteria and other “objects” that are in cosmetics these days, my wife decided to stop wearing makeup altogether. And i couldn’t be happier, mainly because she use to spend a fortune every week on cosmetic products she barely even used…lol.

After watching the Tyra Banks show that was dedicated to this, i’m surprised that there hasn’t been some type of “boycott” of cosmetics by now…lol
