How easy is it to switch 100% to cruelty free skin care?

If you’re interested in switching 100 per cent to cruelty free skin care, you may be wondering how easy it is to avoid the main stream brands for a more ethical way of looking after your skin.

Cruelty free skin care has come a long way since henna and coconut oil moisturiser. There are many companies out there – many of them leading brands – that are leading the way in producing excellent quality cruelty free skin care lines.

First, let’s look at some of the best brands that you can use guilt-free.

Barry M – This drugstore brand has a firm following who love the bold colours and vivid pigmentations of their products. We especially love the nail care line and their ultra low pricing means our nail varnish collection is dominated by little Barry M bottles.

Nip + Fab – Their products, from shower gels to face washes are all committed to no testing on animals rules. They are a great go-to brand to use and are available in high street chemists.

Body Shop – Famously cruelty-free since forever, Anita Roddick instilled a firm manifesto within her company which still continues to this day. They have a successful makeup line and are of course the masters of body butter, gels, facial cleansers, perfumes and moisturiser.

Atlantis Skincare – This cottage industry is making a bit of a name for themselves in the ethical beauty world. Producing skin care products that are not only cruelty-free but natural and where possible, organic, they are whipping up five star reviews amongst their loyal and growing fanbase. Check out their Glowing Skin Day Cream and Velvet Night Time Elixir.

Of course, there are LOADS more. The point is, that switching to cruelty-free skin care is not only easy, but there is so much choice and the quality is not compromised. In fact, the quality is often better (see NARS and bareMinerals for highly acclaimed and established cosmetics) than animal-tested brands.
