A Few of My Favorite Cruelty Free Products
PS- (Can I add a PS when I just started a post??? I am not sure, but I am doing it anyways) This isn’t a paid post – I just felt like sharing my love for this stuff…
One of my new resolutions is to use cruelty free products as often as possible. Why? Look at these faces!
I just can’t believe companies STILL test on animals. (You can read more here… bring tissues….)
That being said, I can’t afford to spend a ton of cash on stuff… so, I am so excited to say I found shampoo, conditioner AND body wash that I love at a price I can stomach.
Let me introduce you to Organix. As you can see, I have quite the selection –I love the way they work and smell. Best
part – I got the smaller bottles for $4 and change on sale at STOP AND SHOP! I have to do more research, but they
seem to run just under $6. The big, ginormous bottle? That is a BJ’s purchase for $9.99… Sometimes, I can even find coupons for the Organix line! It is almost too exciting.
I also love the Kiss my Face brand which I bought on Amazon using a gift card from my beloved sister-in-law (Thanks Melissa!!!!! ). They each ran less then $6, although I had to buy added enough stuff to my purchase so I didn’t have to pay for shipping and handling. I guess Amazon had the last laugh there.
Either way, I am happy that my little purchases make a bit of difference.
I am looking for detergent now. I am not a huge fan of the lavender scent I see Seventh Generation uses. And my husband would have a cow if I bought the $12.99 bottle and brought it home. Sadly, I had to let my Purex Crystals go…. They were my absolute favorite but since they still test on animals, I am out…. Which reminds me, I owe them an email.
Anyone else have cruelty free products they love?

Have you tried Simple skin care products? The parent company is Unilever and it looks like they are almost 100% moved away from animal testing: http://www.unilever.com/sustainable-living/Respondingtostakeholderconcerns/testing/.
I use the exfoliating face wipes because I am far too lazy to actually wash my face at night before bed.
I try to avoid Unilever in general, but I heard good things about the Simple Skin products…. I have been using coconut oil to clean my face but admit there are plenty of nights I go to bed without washing..
Did you finish BSG yet? I vote you watch Arrow next….
I use the Seventh Generation and have found that Target has is the cheapest 11.99 (not on sale), when they do have a sale I have gotten it as low as 8.99. They have a free and clear one, although the Lavender scent does not leave any scent on your clothes. I also use their fabric softener and recently bought the Mrs. Meyer’s softener, which I’m not thrilled with. You should try the Trader Joe’s brand or Method, all of their products are cruelty free.
I never thought of the Trader Joe’s brand! You are so smart! I bought the Eco-lever brand to try. So far, I am pretty happy with it. You didn’t like the Mrs. Meyer’s brand? I was going to try it!
I just bought their dishwasher tabs and so far, the lone oad I did, was enjoyable.
Good to know about the Seventh Generation. Thanks! Miss you!!!!!
I also have the seventh generation dishwasher tabs and am not crazy about them They don’t dissolve fully
It is so great you are trying to “go the green route” and be an informed consumer. I also only buy cruelty free cosmetics. A friendly piece of information, Organix Hair products are actually tested on animals. I know it says on the bottle they are not but you cannot always trust the companies in their labeling. Like with anything, there are loopholes in the system. It may be that Organix does not test on animals in the US or has found another way to say their products are cruelty free without being 100% true. The only way that I can be really sure is if I see the PETA bunny stamp of approval. I know this makes the search for a quality brand that much harder but hang in there, experiment, you’ll find something you love.
