Animal friendly cosmetic brands.

I don't think I am alone when I say that I prefer the companies I buy from be against animal testing, especially after having seen what goes on in these labs and how much the animals really have to suffer in order for us to have a new mascara. The problem is that many people do not have the time to actually research which ones are against it, and even with numerous companies changing up their testing policies, a large number of animal testing is still performed. 

So I decided to dedicate this post to our four-legged friends and to shed some light on which companies you can buy from knowing that no animals were harmed in the making of their products. Keep in mind, though, that a company which may be on this list may change their policies at any given time. The best thing to do is to look for a "Cruelty-free" or "Vegan" or "Against animal testing" label on products of a company you're interested in, or doing research about it online.

Here is a list of companies that DO NOT test on animals: 

*Keep in mind that if a company is Chinese, or sells in China, it is REQUIRED to test on animals. :(

Key:

* Vegan
