Cruelty-free makeup: A booming industry
Makeup is part of our life, it is about changing the way others perceive us. We are sometimes obsessed by our image and the quest for perfection and sometimes we are not even paying attention to the products we are using on our skin.
The beauty industry is flourishing, each year new cosmetic brands emerge but what is a good cosmetic brand? Some people would say it is about the price but, is it right to say that the more expensive a brand is, the better it is for you?
At a time environmental concerns are no longer just an issue but a global duty, individuals should be more and more committed to keeping watch of their daily consumption. Food, transport, clothing, cosmetics... Everywhere we must ensure the issues of transparency and traceability continue to appeal to consumers.
Brands have been on a quest for transparency and ethics for a few years, consumers are becoming experts and delve deep into the origin of the ingredients and products they buy.
So to help you find the best cosmetic products here are 3 cool cruelty-free brands for you:
Kat Von D

Elf ( for "eyes, lips, face" ) is one of the cosmetic brands to position itself against products containing ingredients derived from animals.
