Guest guest Posted September 19, 2000 Report Share Posted September 19, 2000 I know the body shop doesn't test on animals, but i believe they *do* carry products with animal products in them, so be careful! but i'd love for someone to tell me otherwise.. i dislike using products with animals in them!! (althought I have found that the chain " Trader Joe's " carries lots of relatively inexpensive cleansers, shampoos etc. that are creulty free) ~Betz ___________ Free email with personality!

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Hi, I've just discovered that some of the new body shop products are labelled as vegan but contain beeswax. Specifically some of the lip balms, glosses and lipsticks. Just a warning... John Ps: My wife mentioned it, before you get the impression that I wear lipstick. Although it does set off my eyes nicely...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 Hi John, I'm really sorry I haven't been in touch for so long, I only have Internet access at my parents house which is 50 miles from where I live, so I'm really sorry, again, for not keeping in regular contact.I have a few questions that I was wondering if you could answer for me. As ludicrous as it sounds, is there summat addictive in cheese? I'm not doing too horrifically at veganism, I've cut out alot of dairy i.e. chocolate, milk, certain breads, various confectionaries but cheese is just holding me back and it's driving me mad. I eat it without realizing and someone said summat about there being an addictive ingredient in it. The other thing, as grim as the reply may be, how do you know if you're lactose intolerant? I've started feeling groggy if I eat cheese or one of the few dairy based things I still consume. I was wondering if, by some wonderful miracle, i was lactose intolerant or if it's a transition period I'm going through because my body's becoming less capable of digesting dairy. Had a few blessings thrown my way by the vegan gods recently, I found out that Sainsbury's sunflower oil based crisps are vegan friendly, Boots have started a range of vegan chocolate so it would seem I have been saved from a fate parallel to death, and finally, the Green Party were canvassing in Ramsgate town centre and the have regular vegan picnics, they told me everywhere in Ramsgate that sells vegan friendly food and, I like this bit the best because it's good to know I can make a difference, even if it is only little. I picked up about 25 leaflets, all different ones from their stall and took them back to the tattoo studio I work at. They absolutely broke my heart and I started having a bit of a sniffle at the desk, pictures of horrific, torturous experiments being conducted on these poor f**king creatures who didn't deserve any of it. The piercer, Paula, and the tattoo artist, Dan, came out to see what the fuss was about. They both love their meat, notably steak, and I don't expect them to change their whole lifestyles for summat they don't 100% believe in but they have. Dan has now started boycotting Procter & Gamble and GlaxoSmithKline and refuses to use any of their products and Paula's cut down on her meat intake, changed all her make up and toiletries, and they both did all this because of what they saw on the leaflets. I'm really, really proud of them, especially Dan, he tends to rubbish my vegan efforts and says I'm just taking vegetarianism too far, but he didn't even question it, he changed all the cleaning products at the studio, changed our tattoo aftercare guidelines because of the aftercare cream we recommend and we now have big print outs all over the studio about Procter & Gamble and promoting cruelty-free living. Excuse the really long rant but I'm just so chuffed about it. Anywho, about the Body Shop make up, wasn't there a huge scandal a few years back, they were claiming their products to be free from animal testing and then they were exposed for exactly that, testing on animals? I seem to remember all the Body Shops within a 15 mile radius of where I lived shutting down for a time and the reopening. Correct me if I'm wrong but that what I've been told by several people. I don't actually shop there, I get all my vegan make up from a local health food shop, the name of which I can't remember. Please reply, it may take me a while to reply but I will eventually.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Hi Spanna, Good to hear from you again!
