Whether you own a pet or not, it’s hard to deny that there is something a bit morbid about testing chemicals on animals until a product is fit for human consumption. The well profited beauty industry is no exception. Take a look at some of the makeup brands in your glam bag and do a little research on them, you'll be shocked at what you find. Among these are a few bright stars that stand out. Below we outline some of the top beauty brands that not only have a history of great products, but also a history of crusading against animal testing.

The Body Shop has worked since 1996 to ban animal testing on its products. After delivering over 4 million signatures to the European Commission, they were the first company to sign the 'Humane
Cosmetics Standard' for the European Union.

Since receiving a lifetime achievement award in 2009, the company continues to produce quality products with a large selection of creative and sensual herbal ingredients. The company has taken on the crusader motto by also petitioning for the good of humanity against other issues such as domestic violence and sex trafficking. Support a cause and feel fantastic with one of the Body Shop’s scents or moisturizers; smells like a win-win situation.

Lush Cosmetics is the fun brand for all natural and creative soaps, lotions and bath products. Feeling blue? Try a scented or glittery bath-bomb for some splash frolick and gain peace of mind with your post-bubble skin.

At Lush they “believe in making effective products from fresh organic fruits and vegetables and the finest essential oils.” This is great because it means the soaps are newly stocked regularly to guarantee freshness. Of course it also means the soaps have a shelf-life, so don't forget about the bath bomb at the back of your linen closet. The company supports ethical sourcing for ingredients, and takes pride in guaranteeing that words like “fresh,” “organic,” and “cruelty-free” are taken to heart.

Burt’s Bees, famous for that awesome lip-balm, uses all natural ingredients in their products but they’re owned by Clorox which doesn’t necessarily ban animal testing. However just because it isn’t official, don’t let that stop you. In addition to creams and cosmetics, Burt’s Bees is all about sustainability. The company focuses on harvesting ingredients in a limited footprint, packaging with post-consumer recycled materials along with ethical sourcing. Additionally, you can see find directly on the website what ingredients are used in their cosmetics. Rest assured that the 99% natural company’s last ingredient- its chemical preservative, isn’t tested on animals.

If you’re interested in standing up for animals that can’t stand up for themselves, visit The Body Shop to find out more, AND to know for sure if your products are cruelty-free when you shop, look for the leaping bunny.
