Leave These Naughty Brands Off Your Christmas List
These brands have “sold out” the animals by deciding to sell their products in China.
China still requires tests on animals for cosmetics, so any company that wants to sell there has to pay the government to test its products on animals in government laboratories. While PETA fights the good fight to end testing on animals everywhere, please don’t support these companies:
- Victoria’s Secret
- H2O Plus
- Stila Cosmetics
- Boscia
- Benefit Cosmetics
- MAKE UP FOR EVER
- Organix
