What you don't know won't hurt you... But it might hurt somebody else.


I recently found out that a company I often buy beauty products from tests on animals. I have to admit that my stomach turned thinking about it. It made me feel sick to think that I was giving my money to a company with such low moral standards that they would test on animals when it's completely unnecessary.

This isn't just going to be me preaching because that's something I really don't appreciate but I just want people to think about the consequences of their purchases.

Obviously there aren't many companies that advertise the fact that they use these methods of testing but sadly there are very few that don't. I'm not going to turn this blog into a means of slagging off certain companies because that's their decision but I certainly don't support them and I don't understand the need for it.

For your interest Superdrug are against animal testing and none of their own brand products are tested.

Also check out this site for beauty products that are 100% suitable for vegetarians and vegans:

And if you have the time have a look at the BUAV website:
