Looking Good Cruelty-Free

Sickeningly enough, there are companies out there that confine animals to cages, drop toxic chemicals into their eyes, spread burning products onto their backs and then kill them all, even though humane, non-animal test methods for cosmetics, personal care items and household products are available.

But guess what? Finding items to boost your beauty quotient isn’t rocket science if you know which companies are cruelty-free. So petaDishoom’s compiled a list of companies that don’t test on animals in order to help make things as easy as possible for you. Check out our list before you head out to pick up shampoo or that shiny new lipstick, and visit often for list updates, reviews of must-have beauty products and tips for both gals and guys. (Oh, c’mon guys – you at least use soap, don’t ya?)

Cruelty-Free Fragrances

Looking good is important, but don’t forget about the way you smell – that counts too! Smelling good is feeling good. After all, it really does not matter how nice you are if you stink and people don’t want to be near you. Harsh but true! 

So petaDishoom’s done all the work for you and compiled a list of vegan scents. Of course, these are not the only cruelty-free fragrances out there, but this list will get you started. Here goes … ladies first:
