Skin, Hair Care & Health
Please note that Tom’s of Maine, Burt’s Bees, The Body Shop, Pureology, St Ives and Urban Decay products are "vegan" and not tested on animals. However, they are owned by companies that do test their other products on animals and should still be avoided because of this. Giving these somewhat “cruelty-free” companies money still funds vivisection.
Skin Care
Super Concentrate - car, home, body, hair and industrial (non-vegan items include SuperGloss (4360), All Lipsticks and Bee Collected Pollen)
There is quite a bit of choice out there for skin care. If you want to spend the money there are many organic brands that are also cruelty free, (links below). However, if you just want to spend the normal amount there are brands in the supermarket/Priceline/Wholefoods that are 100% vegan.
