Because of China’s animal testing regulations, we have to make ethical choices when it comes to our beauty products. As recommended by PETA, beware of claims that the “product is not tested on animals”, which can hide the fact that its ingredients are tested on animals. Also, look out for “this company does not test on animals”, as that can be a cover-up for a brand that contracts out its testing to other companies.
There’s an easy way to go cruelty-free, with so many animal-friendly brands at SkinStore. Browse 10 of our favorite products by just some of these brands.
