Go Cruelty-Free Part 1(Small Steps)













Hello! so today I have a guide on how to start on the right path of going cruelty free nowadays.

So you need to start small, for example the next time you run oout of shampoo buy a vegan or cruelty free



Here are a few examples of what to buy


  • LUSH
  • JASON
  • Avalon Organics
  • Weleda
  • Faith In Nature


You can also buy Vegan/Cruelty free Household products such as cleaners etc

Examples


  • Method
  • Marks and Spencers own brand 
  • Earth Friendly
  • Ecoleaf
  • Faith


Start small and dont over load yourself with new producst, try and test them. I have tried many a bad vegan product, but I found what works for me and my body and my hair and house etc


For its cruelty-free list, PETA US approves only companies that have the very best policies against animal testing – companies whose policies make a real difference helping to stamp out animal testing.

The good news is that they include top high-street brands such as LUSH, The Body Shop and Ecover as well as many fantastic boutique brands that are available in other shops or online. None of these companies conducts animal testing of any kind, and all have made a real commitment to ensuring that there is no animal testing in their supply chains. Not only are their products ethical, their buying power also helps persuade suppliers to stop animal testing.

New companies are added to the cruelty-free list all the time. Some companies which aren't on the list may not conduct animal tests or use animal-tested ingredients, but until PETA US receives full, signed assurances that a company doesn't conduct, commission or pay for animal tests anywhere in the world, it cannot be sure that the company is 100 per cent cruelty-free.
