What does cruelty-free mean?
Products that are cruelty-free are ones that have not been tested on animals and do not contain any animal-tested ingredients. These products ensure the safety of animals by using alternative testing techniques (like computer-based methods, cell cultures, and more). Despite these technological advancements, 88% of the current 50 largest hair care and cosmetic companies in the world fail to comply with cruelty-free practices. This goes to show that the use of many hair products nowadays comes at a cost- the well-being of animals.

Why does it matter whether your products are cruelty-free?
The cruel reality is that animal testing for hair care results in the suffering and death of hundreds and thousands of animals each year. Rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, and many more animals are sacrificed for the meager pleasure of human beauty products. Given the alternatives to animal testing (as mentioned above), companies nowadays have the resources and technology to create high-quality and safe-to-use products, without subjecting animals to inhumane conditions. Fortunately, there are companies that recognize this issue and offer products that are cruelty-free. Selling these ethical products promotes a step in the right direction, while also giving consumers better and conscious options for their shopping decisions.
