Cruelty-free

[Catherine]

We do have so many choices now. I think some day, fairly soon, it will be faster to list the companies that are not cruelty free. All the rest will be CF and better.

Good luck with your shopping.  You can Google the Body Shop and see if they have a store in your area. They sell either in their own stores or online.

I got an email from Johnson and Johnson or Neutrogena. They said they don't test the products I use on animals. They also said in some places it is required for them to test on animals for medicines but they use the highest standards for the animals. Don't think I'll be buying from them any more.

This is the message sent me:

I read the message and the link. Basically they say they do not test on animals... except of course for the times when they do test on animals.

I shall keep that in mind when I am looking at Johnson and Johnson products.

Interesting that you got a reply.
