I have been wanting to do this post for a long time, and I decided that it was finally time to make it happen.
Living a cruelty-free lifestyle is very important to me. I am a bit of a hypocrite, as I do eat fish and crustaceans. My rule is that if I can pet it, I can't eat it. I extended this last year to banning octopus from my diet, as my fellow pescetarian bestie and I decided that they were too smart to be eaten. I won't go into my struggles of being with a carnivore boyfriend here...
I still wear some leather shoes and purses (most old/vintage), but I actively try to buy alternatives and I have been pretty successful in not buying any new leather products. That is for another post.
The one area where I can easily commit to be cruelty free with zero style sacrifices is beauty. With the advances in science creating human tissue and skin and all of the other animal free testing measures, there is NO EXCUSE to buy products still tested on animals.
Here are some of my favorite cruelty free beauty products:
I have been using the Cruelty Cutter app for a while now- both for purchasing cosmetics and cat food. It is extremely helpful. You scan the barcode on the product, and the app tells you whether or not it's cruelty free! Some lesser known brands don't scan, but the big ones do, and it's an awakening on who is cruelty free and who is not.
Is there a cruelty free product that you love? If so, let me know!
