So you are allowed to call me ignorant, but I have never really given this one much thought…ever. It is the year 2011, so it is easy to assume that beauty products are not tested on animals anymore. I believed that beauty companies should know by now which ingredients would be bad for human skin, and which of them would do no harm. I also believed that even if they wanted to test new beauty products with different combinations of products, there would be woman who would be willing to test the products for them. But I have to say, I was very very wrong.
It saddens me to say that there are still various companies testing their products on animals. Most shocking is the fact that some large companies are still guilty of doing so.
I believe this is something that every woman should give some thought before buying a beauty product. If all of us start boycotting these companies, and they start feeling it in their revenue, then maybe we will achieve the desired effect.
In the meantime, I will not be doing any reviews on companies which test their products on animals. Whether it be the product itself, or the ingredients used in creating the product.
