Part of becoming a product junkie is about being a smart consumer. This doesn't only apply to prices, but about ethics as well.
There are a lot of companies out there that test beauty products on animals. They use ingredients that are cheap to make products at a cheaper cost in order to widen their profit margins. If they are putting chemicals into our products, they have to be tested so they aren't getting sued later. So not only is it disgusting they are using innocent poor helpless animals to test these products on, but they are using chemicals that would cause adverse reactions to us.
I have listed a list of companies that are doing this. Please do not purchase products from them until they discontinue hurting animals.

It's crazy how many products test on animals right? I am shocked and adjusting my shopping habits accordingly.
*Disclaimer - any products that I reviewed on my website that are part of this list was done prior to my knowledge that they tested on animals. I would never intentionally purchase products that test on animals.
