In tandem with my new eating habits, I am trying to buy animal friendly products wherever I can these days. However I have found it really difficult to find out which are "safe".
I have had to do quite a bit of research on the big brands in the UK who do or do not test and animals. And I have to say, I have been pretty shocked.
According to the website NotTested.co.uk, there are scarily few brands that are able to make this claim. Instead, it seems that it is own brand high street products that are leading the way with ethical toiletries.
Although there are lots of cosmetic companies seem to say that they don't test on animals, in actual fact, the same can't be said for their component parts.
Anyway, to try and help others where I have struggled, here is my list of top ten high street brands that don't test on animals:
- Asda own brand
- The Body Shop
- Burts Bees
- Lush
- Morrisons own brand
- Neals Yard
- Superdrug own brand
- Waitrose own brand
- Neals Yard
- The Sanctuary
And if you are trawling the high street yourself for animal-friendly products, the best option is to look for the PETA sign...
