Cruelty-free skin care: why is this important & what are the options?

Since the advent of our modern skin care, a lot has been tested on animals. In the early years this was seen as the only option to discover whether products were safe for us humans. Unfortunately, this resulted in a lot of unnecessary animal suffering.

Fortunately, in recent years there has been a switch towards more natural and animal-friendly cosmetics and skin care. Other ways have been discovered to test products without animal suffering. We are very much in favor of this change and are happy to tell you all about it.

In this blog we explain more about animal-free skin care; what is it, why is it important and what can you pay attention to when choosing the right products.

Curious? Read on quick!

What is Cruelty Free?

The name more or less says it all, but cruelty-free cosmetics refer to products that have been developed without the use of animal testing. This means that no animal has suffered for the development, safety testing or production of the product. Cruelty-free means that the cosmetic industry has implemented alternative methods to ensure the safety and efficacy of products without animal suffering.

Why is cruelty-free skin care so important?

The pursuit of cruelty-free skin care is of great importance for ethical reasons. Animals have the right to be free from unnecessary suffering. In addition, animal testing is often unreliable in predicting human response to products because animals and humans are biologically different. By choosing cruelty-free skin care, consumers can make a conscious and ethical choice that contributes to ending animal cruelty and promoting a more animal-friendly society.

Inspired by nature, not tested on nature

Fortunately, alternative methods are available to ensure the safety of skin care products without using animals. In vitro tests, such as tests on human cells and tissues, can be used to examine the response of human skin and eyes to various ingredients.

Advanced computer models and technologies are also available that can be used to predict the effects of substances. These alternatives provide more accurate and ethical methods to ensure product safety.

Your natural and cruelty-free skincare routine

When purchasing animal-free skin care, it is important to pay attention to certain aspects. First of all, it is advisable to check on the website or in the store whether certain claims are being made.

In addition, it is wise to check the ingredients list and avoid using ingredients of animal origin.

Today, there are many brands that proudly offer cruelty-free and vegan products, so there is plenty of choice for conscious consumers. By consciously opting for animal-free skin care, we can together contribute to a more animal-friendly world.
