Cruelty-free

[Ruth]

More and more people are becoming aware of animal testing. I don't buy cosmetics any more. I hope a lot more will stop buying the products.

[Catherine]

I think people are becoming aware and they are choosing products that don't test on animals. It is a slow growing movement, but in the end it will win. Too  many people know the truth.

I think most people are capable of caring. Some of those people will even act on that feeling. The rest will go along with what is easiest. If it becomes easy to choose cruelty free products they will do it. If it becomes easier to buy cruelty free than explain why you didn't, then they will choose cruelty free.

Maybe when they start labeling products as cruelty-free people will start to have a conscience about what they use. I haven't bought any of those kinds of products in quite awhile so I am not sure if they have started labeling them or not.

I did a search of cruelty-free products and here are some links:

Great links! Thanks for finding them.
I am impressed by the number of companies that are listed. I am also glad to find my usual brand on the list.
I am sure the list is longer that it was last year. We now have cruelty free choices.

I only use a moisturizer and will check if the brand is on the Peta site. Yes we do have cruelty-free choices!

[Ruth]

I checked to see if my moisturizer is on the cruelty-free list and it is not. I am surprised. I went to their website and contacted them about this and will see if they answer me. I won't buy it again if it is not cruelty-free.

I use Body Shop products and they have been cruelty free for years.
I am sure you will find a product you like.

I hope the company listens to you and all the other people who will contact them.

I just made a post and it seems to have disappeared. Strange. I copied down your products name and will see if they sell them here, too. I hope the company will listen too. They make a whole lot of products.

You can shop at the Body Shop on line. I just don't know what places they deliver to. If you have a Body Shop in your area you can pick stuff up directly. I recommend getting a membership. You do save money.

Some of the companies listed are unfamiliar to me so they may not be Canadian companies.

I am sure you can find cruelty free no matter where you live.

I've heard of the Body Shop before. I will look into it when I need more moisturizer. I need to get a little make up. I am going out with someone this week. I'm going to look on the list and see what products are cf.
