Animal Abuse Data Base Biography
Animal testing for skin care and cosmetics for our own vanity is unnecessary, which is why pro-cruelty companies’ products are abhorrent. Cosmetic products available to the consumer have already conducted exhaustive tests on products’ effects on humans. Further testing is brutally needless.
One only need think of horrendous pictures of animals screaming and writhing in pain trying to wriggle away so hard from the chemical, dye or ingredient being injected, rubbed or inhaled into them that they break their neck or other bones in their bodies.
Some people believe testing is necessary to ensure the safety of cosmetics. That’s an absolute false conception. There are many reliable alternatives to using animals available, including human cell and tissue cultures and sophisticated computer and mathematical models. Companies can also formulate products using ingredients already determined to be safe. Cruelty-free companies can use a combination of methods to ensure safety, such as employing in vitro tests and/or conducting clinical studies on humans.

Ironically, there are massive numbers of cruelty-free skin care and cosmetic products that work far better—and are much cheaper—than the crap you’ll find in drug or department stores. There are discount sites that sell cosmetics, along with vitamins, at significantly discounted costs
CRUELTY-FREE COSMETICS
There are vast options available of cruelty-free cosmetics. Consumers can engage in a significant—if not outright—boycott or pro-cruelty companies’ products
The leaping bunny logo has become synonymous with cruelty-free products. The Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics’ (CCIC) Leaping Bunny Program administers a cruelty-free standard and the internationally recognized Leaping Bunny Logo for companies producing cosmetic, personal care, and household products.
Just a cavet: Leaping Bunny advises consumers that “cruelty-free” or “not tested on animals” is not a guarantee the product is not cruelty free:
This is simply not true as the devil is often in the details. Designation as “cruelty-free” or “not tested on animals,” or even the image of a bunny on a label may only refer to the finished product, when in fact, most animal testing occurs at the ingredient level. Furthermore, while a company may claim, “We do not test on animals,” it could still contract other companies to do the testing. The only way to be 100% certain a company is cruelty-free is to buy products from companies that have been certified by the Leaping Bunny Program, which requires that no new animal testing be used in any phase of product development by the company, its laboratories, or ingredient suppliers.
Go Cruelty Free: They provide a database of cruelty free cosmetics and household products.
PETA will provide you a free shopping guide of cruelty-free cosmetics. PETA also maintains a vast search engine of cruelty-free and pro-cruelty companies and products.
The Vegan site not only lists cruelty-free cosmetics, but also strictly vegan products that do not contain any dairy products.
The Vegetarian Site Ethics site contains an enormous list of pro-cruelty products, companies, and corporations.
Leaping Bunny is also an excellent resource.
Most areas have local businesses that make and sell cosmetics. Small business vendors often sell their products at farmers’ markets, small stands, and little shops. You can almost always find organic, cruelty-free products made with fresh herbs and organic ingredients close to home.
If you prefer mail order, Vitacost and Swanson sell cruelty-free cosmetics at a significantly discounted price.
Three companies this author can recommend are:
Aubrey Organics (personally tested for over 30 years: A dedicated animal rights activist, Aubrey [Hampton] was strongly committed to operating a cruelty-free company, a commitment that continues at our company to this day. In 1990 he was named “Activist of the Year” by the Culture and Animals Foundation for his work against animal testing.
The Daughters of Isis Ancestor Aromachologie’, a wonderful world to discover hand-crafted oils.
A Los Angeles company, Roots Brothers, sells certified organic body wash/shampoo, lotions, and handmade incense at farmers’ markets around the area.
