Animal Testing for cosmetics
It can be very confusing when it comes to animal testing. In Europe, it is illegal to conduct animal testing, and illegal to sell or import any animal tested products. However, companies who operate internationally may still conduct animal testing for their markets outside the EU, for example, China, Japan & America. Companies may say they do not test on animals, but use another company to test on animals for them to pass certain laws in other countries. Some company websites are very vague, stating that they are "against animal testing... except when required by law." In my eyes, I have lost faith in any company that still condones animal testing, just so they can sell to places like China for greater profits.
I have done a lot of research into this, and found that a lot of big companies are still conducting animal testing in other countries. Then there's things to consider like companies saying that they are against animal testing, but are actually owned or part of a subsidery/sister of a company that still tests on animals. I aim to find those companies that are out there to give us products without the need to test on animals.
Looking after you
Looking after your body is also very important when it comes to beauty. I have always had problems with my skin-care routine and damaged hair, so hope to give tips and tricks to having a healthier beauty regime.
