Animal testing is a very sensitive subject. Even if there are
obvious benefits of animal-assisted, medical research, it’s
more difficult to advocate the mistreatment of animals for the
sake of beauty. Anyone who is concerned about this issue should
know which companies test cosmetic make up on animals.
Some of the companies that test cosmetic
make up on animals include:
• Clairol
• Cover Girl
• L’Oreal
• Suave
• Physique
In 2002, the UK effectively upheld a ban on animal testing for
the sake of beauty, with the rest of the EU following suit in
2010. Because of the growing awareness for animal cruelty, many
people are switching to mineral cosmetic make up, which boasts
more natural ingredients that don’t require any animal testing.
