Cosmetic Animal Testing
(a project from 6th grade G/T research)
Animals of various kinds are being tested for products that we use everyday. The animals cannot speak, so we must speak up for them! Buy from Cruelty-Free brands that have not tested on animals. Look for the symbols below the next time you shop for your shampoo, hair dye, nail polish, lip balm, makeup, and/or lotion.
