well the list oasis posted is very informative, but yea i agree i doubt anyone will take the list shopping with them. i have made a few changes however.

i dont buy iams anymore. instead i use an organic cat formula. also, instead of clorox products, i use METHOD (at Target) i think it would be exhausting to actually find pure non animal tested products for eveyr single thing you use, but for the things that are easy to change i know every little helps.

i don't know anyone who uses herbal essences. they kind of downgraded it IMO, they used to have really earthy fantasy type of packaging and scents. now it just looks like something only preteen girls would buy.

i actually know that list off by heart and they always buy their cosmetics according to it...

But Roddick sold The Body Shop to L'Oreal, who are huge animal-testers. So while Body Shop products might themselves continue not to be tested, Body Shop's profits go to a company who does. I used to love The Body Shop, now I hate it like I hate Procter & Gamble and I'd never give them a penny of mine

A few ompanies who don't test on animals, off the top of my head:
Urban Decay
Lush
Avon
Co-op own-brand (love their shampoos and conditioners)
Paul Mitchell haircare
Hard Candy

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

It is not legally required that cosmetic items are tested on animals. In fact, it is illegal to test these things on animals in the UK

So how do people like Procter & Gamble get round it? Their products are produced in other countries and imported, or else they employ other people to do the testing for them

Who on earth told you this?!!! Do they work for L'Oreal or something?

It is true that it is legally required in the UK that drugs are used on animals before people can use them. Which is quite obviously absolutely senseless as you don't need a physiology degree to see that human beings and rats/mice/rabbits' bodies work rather differently, but now I'm getting off-topic.
