Choosing cruelty-free products helps to keep future animals out of testing labs. “More than $16 billions of taxpayer money is spent on animal experimentation by the United States government each year” (Animals Matter, 2022). This money can be easily spent elsewhere in time as we switch to choosing cruelty-free products. This movement starts with you and I for the greater cause of helping to keep future animals out of testing labs. Look for these symbols on your products
There are hundreds if not thousands of cruelty-free brands out there that range from skin care products to makeup brands to household cleaning products. These brands are not hard to find, and some may be even closer than you think! For example, are you a frequent Dove user? If so, you can continue to use their products as Dove is a cruelty-free brand. “Dove one of the world’s most widely available personal care product brands has banned all tests on animals anywhere in the world” (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, 2022).
If you are not familiar with the Dove brand, Dove is an easy to find brand that is in aisles at almost all grocery stores. Dove has multiple hygiene and beauty products suited for all skin types. If you have sensitive skin, Dove has products for sensitive skin. If you have dry skin, Dove offer products for individuals with dry skin as well. Dove also makes products for those with no skin irritations.
Choosing cruelty-free products can be easier than you may think. This slight change can create big changes for the future to come. Choose cruelty-free and become part of the movement!
