Animal Products hidden in cosmetics?

I recently heard that cosmetic companies buy animal products from rendering plants and put them in cosmetics and skin care products.


I also heard that they are not required to put these ingredients on their labels.

Actually it is true, and if you are grossed out, I suggest you don't use lipstick anymore, because every brand puts fish scales in the lip stick. From now on, you'd be safer to use gloss or chapstick!
Arbonne discloses its ingredients (beauty and make-up), which are all natural and organic. They do NOT test on animals and proudly display the PETA bunny.
Go to the PETA website and check out the list of companies that do NOT use any animal products...Its a big list!
It is true that animal by-products are used in some cosmetics.


If you are worried by this - and you should be - (ugh) then use cosmetics from The Body Shop where there are no animal by-products used in manufacture!
