If you’re confused about the whole cruelty-free cosmetics thing — you’re definitely
not alone. Thanks to pressure from PETA and other animal-rights groups,
many cosmetics companies now refuse to test their products on animals —
thus earning “cruelty-free” status. But the modern, globalized beauty
market is making it very enticing for brands to abandon their
cruelty-free ways. See, the Chinese government actually requires all
cosmetics sold in China to be tested on animals — meaning that many American and EU companies are reverting to their old, inhumane ways to get a piece of that lucrative market.
So, on behalf of bunnies everywhere, PETA’s launching a major campaign to change Chinese law — an uphill battle, but a noble one for sure. Instead of old-school protests, PETA’s tackling China’s problematic laws with good ol’ fashioned diplomacy — creating a plan to make Chinese cosmetics standards cruelty-free, and funding cruelty-free training laboratories. PETA’s efforts are paying off — China has now adopted a plan to implement animal-free testing methods within five years. (That sound you hear is millions of bunnies breathing a sigh of relief)..
As a vegan, I do not believe in buying items animal byproducts because I don’t want to contribute to any animal suffering. That is my own personal version of ‘cruelty-free’ and is what I practice. I’ve always been upfront about the importance of using vegan items. I went vegan in January 2011 and learn new things every single day.
To clarify, I only personally buy and support vegan cosmetics and try to purchase carnuaba/palm oil free items. I am in the works to make my own vegan mascara this summer and this is why I started making my own lipsticks without carnuaba wax. I am doing my best to do the right thing, and I do think every consumer is responsible to do their own research into product ingredients. That is why I took the vegan products list down off my site and why I am working on revamping and reorganizing my animal testing list. It will take time, but I am trying my best. I appreciate your support and patience.
