Cruelty free: eight alternative cosmetic brands that do not test on animals Cruelty free: eight alternative cosmetic brands that do not test on animals

The Cruelty Free is a movement that advocates for the rights of animals in order to recognize those brands or companies of products or activities that do not harm animals in any way. Thus, this term is widespread in the world of cosmetics, where more and more brands stop testing their products on animals.

Testing on animals consists of testing products on live animals, such as rabbits, guinea pigs and others, to see their reactions to the products. These tests are very harmful and detrimental to the health of animals that, in most cases, end up being slaughtered.
