Many of us are familiar with the wonderful slew of new, small cosmetics and skincare companies that have progressed to the 21st century - meaning they don't test on animals and/or are vegan, and they use ingredients that are not totally toxic.
But what about the grand old companies, the huge ones, the department store exclusives? Where do they stand?
Baby steps, but still good news:
Lancome, while they evidently still test on animals, have at least come out with a cosmetics brush that is one-hundred percent synthetic (which means vegan). It's the brush they're selling with their new mineral makeup. I haven't researched their mineral makeup yet, but I have tested the brush and it's so soft.
Revlon hasn't done animal testing in decades. This doesn't mean they're vegan, and it doesn't mean they use completely safe ingredients. It does mean that you can go to the drug store and buy a Revlon product knowing that this product has not been tested on any little bunny. (I'm not sure about their hair color - they say none of their products are tested on animals but I must write to them and ask specifically about the hair color.)
Elizabeth Arden, contrary to what many may think, does not test on animals, nor do they purchase ingredients that have been tested on animals.
Other big corporations that do not test cosmetics on animals include Bobbi Brown, Laura Mercier, Clinique, Avon, Almay, and Chanel.
You can find more non-animal testing companies at my website.

Thats really interesting - in this day and age there is no need to test on animals
Thanks, Neicy, Bernadette, and Ukgirl. It’s so true, here in the 21st century it seems like animal testing is ... well ... middle ages?
I’m so grateful that there are women who are willing to go the non-animal testing route. Thanks again!
Namaste,
Suzann
thank you - and I agree - no one should be doing animal testing - - - certainly not cosmetic cos.
Saylor, thanks for your comment. And I love your quote, too!
Namaste,

I don’t believe in it and I refuse to purchase anything that has anything to do with animal testing...
Thanks for sharing. I’m glad to see that some of them are coming around. What about the fact that most of these companies also use animal products/by-products in their products. YUCK!!! An educated consumer makes better, smarter, safer choices.
Cheers,
Maribeth
Karyno, I’m totally with you.
Maribeth, yes yes yes. Personally I’m replacing each piece of makeup, as it runs out, with a vegan alternative. I can’t believe we‘re in the 21st century and we‘re still slaughtering sentient creatures. It doesn’t make sense, and it’s so horrible. I agree with you - the more educated we as consumers get, hopefully the smarter our choices will be.
Me too, Maribeth. It goes back to what you said earlier, that our main protection is educating ourselves about this stuff. Evidently some awful toxins are used in commercial baby care products.
Create lasting relationships
with other like minded women.
