Lastly
To have safe and hypoallergenic lipsticks, bottles of foundation cream, lotion jars, shower gel bottles … that are safe and hypoallergenic for us to use, many animals have been brutally tortured such as putting chemicals in the eyes, shaving to apply to the skin, etc. They not only endure pain but also carry defects or even die after the tests are over.
Saying no to products that are tested on animals is a humanitarian practice that prevents innocent animals from sacrificing themselves for human production. It also has the benefit of protecting the environment and we will be using products with more benign ingredients ourselves.
