What is the difference between testing on animals and testing on humans? (HINT: There is no difference)
Disclaimer: That is a picture of my face smeared with make-up to give the effect of irritation and pain. The rabbit on the left is a animal that was used for animal testing in a cosmetic laboratory that tested a substance in the animals eyes to find out whether it would cause irritation. Since taking my own photos I actually have been experiencing pain in my own eyes, and slight dryness and irritation despite being careful not to get any of the make-up in my eye while applying or taking it off. They say animal testing makes our products safe? But are they really? Have you ever suffered from irritation form eyeliner, mascara, or any other forms of make-up? I know that my eyes are super sensitive to any eyeliners so I do not wear them. I wonder if those products are actually safe? If they hurt animals they most certainly will hurt humans. I've always wondering why cosmetic companies and scientists could just figure out how to make products out of substances that we know are not harmful (i.e., oils, fruit juices, vegetable juices (to make stains), powders, etc., etc.) instead of using already assumed dangerous chemicals for products on our faces. Frontally there are many companies already finding ways to do so but they are not as popular as Mac, Maybelline, Cover Girl, and other popular companies. The reason why the cruelty free and non-harmful companies are not as popular is because of us. Basically we support companies by buying their products which sustain the demand. When we purchase the products we are indirectly telling the companies that we support them using toxic chemicals that are harmful to our health and we support the cruelty that they enact on poor innocent animals. Now, don't get mad at me just yet! I am NOT blaming you! I'm equally as quality as feeding into the lies these companies tell us and supporting them by using their products. However, I decided to stop. I either do not buy make-up at all (which is the case at the moment) or I will buy products that are environmentally and human safe, without animal testing. We can FIGHT back against these companies in multiple ways depending on how brave you personally are! Here are my two options!
1) Stop wearing make-up = not purchasing and supporting companies that harm animals and humans = not harming yourself in the process = defying societies beauty standards = one kiss ass internally confident person who doesn't care what everyone else thinks and wants to save our world!
2) Stop purchasing make-up from big companies + buying from local companies or smaller companies that produce animal safe and human safe products = not supporting companies that test on animals and harm humans = helping cute furry animals + helping your overall help = probably someone who knows how to apply make-up and ROCKS it = a kiss ass individual that is changing the world by making environmentally friendly, animal safe and human face beauty choices.
No matter what option you choose (but of course choosing one of these) you're still being a KISS ASS human that cares about animals your health and is changing the world one lipstick tube at a time!!
