Cosmetic Lines That Don't Test Products on Animals
Increasing numbers of cosmetic lines do not test products on animals. In Defense of Animals states that millions of animals are killed each year by cosmetic companies using them to test their products. Companies test products on animals to measure skin irritants, eye tissue damage and the toxicity of chemicals in cosmetics. Products with a Leaping Bunny logo adhere to the strict guidelines set by the Corporate Standard of Compassion for Animals (CSCA,) an organization committed to informing consumers of companies that are cruelty-free. Does this Spark an idea?
