All those lists above are great BUT a word of warning................





Some companies are a little bit sneaky when advertising.





They say they don鈥檛 test on animals and whilst that may be true it may not be strictly true because some of the by-products they buy in to make their product may have actually been tested on animals.





By law, they don't need to disclose that bit of information. So by buying their products you are still supporting testing on animals, even though you think you are doing the right thing.

.
One that hasn't been listed is Burt's Bees. They don't test on animals and have a huge line of products from shampoos to lip gloss to lotion.





I don't know if there is a trader joe's near you but any Tom's Naturals products don't test on animals either. They may have those at local health food stores. They come with everything from deodorant to toothpaste.





Good luck!
Placenta Cream....made from Placenta....YUCK YUCK YUCK! This is offered by many companies including Avon....*GAG*








Here are some good companies:





Aveda. high-quality beauty care and cosmetics





Crazy Rumors Lip Balm. tasty tea and coffee inspired flavors





Dirty Kitty Soap Works. all-vegan soaps, lotions, lip balm, and more





Ecco Bella. vegan cosmetics





Estrella Soaps. more vegan soaps





Kiss My Face. wide range of vegan bath products





LUSH. Handmade, mostly vegan bath %26amp; beauty products. All ingredients listed on website. No animal testing.

Planda Company. vegan lotion





White rabbit beauty. All-vegetarian, mostly vegan beauty products (can sort by vegan-only)








Good luck
L'Oreal. Badbadbadbadbad. They test practically everything on animals. So does Cover Girl.





MAC is cruelty free, and Hard Candy has a great ';vegan'; section on their site. I think Revlon is CF now, too.
