Switching to cruelty-free products has become very popular recently. Choosing brands such as Facetheory carries a lot of positives, which can even benefit you too. Here are various reasons why you should change to cruelty-free.
COLLOIDAL-C ANTI-REDNESS TONER
with Colloidal Oatmeal, Vitamin C, Liquorice Extract and Aloe Vera .€16,99, FaceTheory
Tested On Different Animals
Animal testing doesn’t just mean rabbits and rats. Companies can use mice, guinea pigs, cats, dogs and even monkeys. Testing products can cause severe pain and trauma to animals. They are bred to live in fear and ultimately die as a result of being tested on. This cruel practice can easily be avoided by companies but many chose to still carry out animal testing.
Better Alternatives
Animal testing is very expensive to carry out. Also, there is no laws in the U.S., Europe and Australia that requires products to be tested on animals. This means companies actually chose animal because they actually want to. There is far better alternatives to animal testing.
In-virto tests on cells or artificial tissue is a better alternative to cruelty options. Another alternative is using computer modeling (in silco), which can accurately predict the ways ingredients can react in the human body.
PINK CLAY AHA FACE MASK
with Kaolin Clay, Crushed Walnut, Shells and Pomegranate. €14,99, FaceTheory
Cruelty-Free Brushes Are Better For You
Face brushes made with animal hair are actually worse for your skin than synthetic brushes. The real hair traps bacteria and allows it to grow – disgusting! Synthetic brushes are much easier to clean as the product doesn’t cling on as much. This makes synethic brushes perfect if you have oily skin.
