Animal testing is an unfortunate fact of business as usual in the cosmetics and beauty industry. The good news is that you can make the world a more beautiful place, by choosing products that have not been tested on animals. Today we have so many cruelty free options that perform how we need them to, create a positive experience when we use them, and don’t support animal testing.
