Before reading this Alex's of Alex's Guides, wishes that everyone could repeat this: "I will no longer give my hard-earned dollars to companies that torture animals and spray their faces with banal products." Below, you will find a fairly comprehensive list of companies that still test their products on animals. If you do not care that some poor animal was tortured for your eye shadow or toothpaste, then feel free to continue to support these companies.
As a consumer, you can help by avoiding their products (e.g.,) in favor of companies that do not test. Believe it or not, that list is actually far more comprehensive than the below list and includes several big names. CHECK IT OUT!"
