Cosmetic companies have things that are smeared or sprayed onto the skin when they come up with something new the want to be sure that it does not cause any irritation or other harm to humans. So they test the product in massive amounts on animals to see how much is required to cause harm. The people that do this work have absolutely no conscience and belong to the ilk that worked on human experiments in Germany prior to and during the war and the Japanese in china at around the same time.

Wearing makeup is a uniquely human activity, yet each year, thousands of furry critters can be seen sporting lipstick, powder, and eyeliner inside cosmetics laboratories. If you want to wear makeup that hasn’t been tested on Fido and Mittens, you now have many more options. Cosmetics that are only tested on humans are known as cruelty-free cosmetics. The demand and supply of such makeup has been growing steadily as consumers have become more aware of animal testing. Here are some commonly asked questions about cruelty-free cosmetics, along with answers to help you shop smarter. Q. Cruelty-free cosmetics aren’t tested on animals, so are they still safe for humans? A. Yes. Cruelty-free makeup is tested on people, instead. These makeups are typically made from compounds already known to be hypoallergenic and non-irritating, thus, no humans are harmed in the testing stages. For this reason, cruelty-free cosmetics are usually a safe bet for women with sensitive skin or makeup allergies. Q. Where can I buy makeup that isn’t tested on animals? A. All major drugstores carry brands of makeup that are cruelty-free. If this designation isn’t obvious on the front label, check the back panel where the ingredients are listed. If the makeup is not tested on animals, the label will explicitly say so. If the label has no mention of testing methods, then most likely it is tested on animals. In addition to standard cruelty-free cosmetics, there are also vegan cosmetics. This type of makeup is neither tested on animals, nor made from animals. Traditional makeup may contain gelatin or animal fat. Vegan cosmetics are a hot beauty trend now, and it will be clear on the front label if the makeup is vegan. Q. Are cruelty-free cosmetics more expensive than regular makeup? A. Not at all. There is little difference in price between makeup that is tested on animals, and makeup that isn’t. You can find high end mineral makeup that isn’t tested on animals, as well as cheap compacts of cruelty-free powder.
