Going Cruelty Free - Tips
It’s easier than you think
There are more companies taking an interest in what
people want and bucking the trend by going cruelty free. The more people who make the switch will influence the market and eventually cruelty free will become the norm. In the mean time there are lots of brands already selling cruelty free.
People want to share their knowledge
I've followed so many lovely bloggers who are cruelty free
and have helped sway me into their way of thinking (I didn't need much persuading). As a result there are loads
of informative blog posts and Youtube videos to help you make the switch.It’s not all super expensive
With stores like Superdrug creating their cruelty free own brand products the prices are respectfully low in comparison with other
products. Sometimes it’s worth paying that little bit more, no one bats an eye
at spending £4 plus on one bath bomb in Lush.
Don’t throw
everything away
Make the switch gradually, throwing everything that’s
unused out creates waste which kind of defeats the point. Use up products you've
got because you've already contributed to the company's profits. Replace items
as and when with cruelty free alternatives.
Don’t trust one
source
Research products before you buy and check their cruelty
status from more than one source. Making sure the information you use is as up to
date as possible (brands can back track). Researching before you buy insures
that the product is cruelty free and will stop you impulse buying so you’ll ultimately
end up saving money.
Know the logos
There are a few and this is when it can get confusing. Some
brands fake logo’s so be careful and not all cruelty free brands are certified
but that makes them no less cruelty free, Lush is one of the uncertified brands.
I think the key is to find what works for you and maybe sticking with it, I'm
a creature of habit so that’s not really an issue for me. I think once you start to really look you’ll
find some lovely products and you’ll feel great using them knowing that no
little bunnies where hurt in the making.
Do you buy cruelty free? what are your recommendations?

Good luck and this is great, I've been thinking about going cruelty free and I think it won't be as hard as I think. Shower gel and shampoos are easy but it's makeup I worry about, but I'm going to let my current products run out and see where I go!

That's amazing, Sam! Going cruelty-free is such a good thing to do, and like you said, it's not that hard at all! I always think that there are so many products out there and it's fairly easy to find substitutes. :)
