If you are an avid animal lover like I am, you have definitely seen articles about companies that test their products on animals, and to no surprise, most of the products that I used to use were tested on animals and it made me sick to my stomach to see videos or pictures of rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, mice, dogs, cats and primates-like monkeys, baboons and chimpanzees, being tested on and then killed afterwards because they are no longer "useful" or could develop more problems.

Not all of these animals are used for makeup testing, but they are also used for medical, neurological and a multitude of another testing. If you have ever wondered about if the products you use on a daily basis, test on animals here is the list for you, and then I will give you another list of alternatives. There is really no way to tell whether something is tested on animals or not since the FDA does not regulate “cruelty-free” or “not tested on animals” packaging labels, so companies can put this on their packaging even if the product or ingredients have been tested on animals.
