There came a point in which I realised that makeup wasn't the most amazing thing in the world. That's when I discovered particular cosmetic companies tested on animals.
A
common topic of discussion within the cosmetic and beauty industry is animal
testing. Some companies, such as Lush and The Body Shop, are 100% cruelty-free,
while there are other companies who continue to test their products on innocent
animals.
I
recently read No Bunny Should Suffer For Beauty by Jessica-Jane Clement, which
I discovered on The Huffington Post website, where she challenged women to
choose to cruelty-free products instead of buying products from companies who
do animal testing. She also talks of a ban, which she hopes the European
Parliament will hold in place.
As
a makeup lover, I have spent time thinking about this in the past and trying my
best to make moral decisions about the makeup companies I choose to buy from.
Anyone who buys makeup has a choice to make, whether they support animal
testing or not.
But
for those of you who don’t have a interest in makeup may still find this
article interesting as the majority of the piece is talking about animal
rights. That is the main focus of the article as Clement is interested in encourages
her readers to not support animal testing.
I
found this article informative and interesting because I have never done any
sort of heavy research on this topic and after reading this; I have a greater
understanding about animal testing in the cosmetic industry. If animal testing
and cruelty-free cosmetics is of interest to you, I highly recommend you
reading this article.
Articles
such as this one could make some big changes to the cosmetic industry, and in
my opinion, those changes would be for the better.
What
do you guys think?
