'Every year tens of thousands of animals suffer and die in laboratory tests of cosmetic and household products...despite the fact that the test results do not help prevent or treat accidental or purposeful misuse of the products. Please join me in using your voice for those whose cries are forever sealed behind laboratory doors.' Woody Harrelson (American Actor)

QUICK GUIDE TO ETHICAL SHOPPING
There's no point in being 'beautiful' on the outside if you have a couldn't-care-less-about-suffering attitude on the inside. Here are some links full of great information on where to buy products to get glam with and smell sublime, but which don't cause any harm to our animal friends. If you wouldn't allow a *Draize Test (see Info on Animal Testing Links) to be performed on your pet, then please don't support companies which test on animals. Have a heart - green is gorgeous!
Please keep checking back as we will be constantly updating our information. Thanks!
CRUELTY FREE PRODUCT LINKS
Most of the following links deal with companies across the globe, so please be patient as you look for those who make and/or supply cruelty free products in your country (it is worth remembering that many big companies are international; they might have a main address in the USA for example, but also trade widely in the UK, etc.)

ALL FOR ANIMALS: list of cruelty free companies
PETA: list of consumer product companies that do not test on animals

COMPANIES THAT TEST ON ANIMALS
Again many of the following companies are in various countries, and a great deal of them trade internationally, so please look for company and product names that you recognise rather than just Head Office addresses.
