A Friendly Reminder

As I spilled my coffee and managed to get it all over a newly decorated wall in my room, I'm attempting to write this post again, for the second time. 

I've just seen an advert on social media for The Body Shop promoting their products as 100% vegan and cruelty free. I don't mean to be a crazy animal fanatic who wants to change the world and get everyone on their side (or maybe I should be?), but I urge you to think carefully before you believe such remarks.

The Body Shop are very falsely  advertising themselves as wholly cruelty free. Sure their products and their ingredients might never have even encountered a poor little bunny. But this does not excuse the fact that they are owned by L'Oreal. A company that is notorious for animal testing and selling in China. If The Body Shop have such strong ethics, why have they allowed themselves to be part of the cruel corporation?

It seems that their advert is an attempt to be fashionable and to appeal to the ever-growing culture of more ethical people.

But please don't be fooled.

Please always do your research.

If a company's Animal Testing Policy seems sketchy - it probably is.
