The Body Shop and Lush

[Guest guest]

The Body Shop seems to be a big fan of animal ingredients. When

phasing out my vegetarianism, imagine my horror to find that my

favourite lipblam contained not only lanolin but beeswax as well. The

Body Shop also aren't too hot on their labelling-the ingredients will

be there but, as in the case of my lipbalm, are somtimes to be found

underneath a peel back strip which I couldn't get at until i'd bought

it. However I'm sure they'd be helpful enough if asked. As has been

said-check out their testing policy. They might be against it but

it's a clevery worded phrase. I was aginst Battery hens but I still

ate Quorn until 6 months ago!!

Lush is very good on the labelling and the ingrdients. However, check

out their testing policy...some have complained but I'm not totally

clear on why. They don't sell makeup (actually I think they believe

you shouldn't wear it) so you would have to check out the Body Shop

instead. email Lush though...they will with any luck point you in the

right direction with shipping to Hong Kong (surely that's better than

flying out!!) oh yeah and try the Veganese conditioner if like me you

like a good conditioning!!

 

Oh, yeah, and all the vegans I know are very keen on nail varnish and

glitter. so most nail varnish, I assume, is okay, as long as it's not

animal tested. 'Spectacular' is okay I think ...and also has a 'Rocky

Horror' show range. Fantastic. (incidently, all the vegans I know

like that too....what about you lot?)

 

Love n' light.....

i loved the fun lush smells & shapes, until i found myself allergic

to everything i tried, and known others who've been the same. not

sure if there's something particular in their products, or if it's

skin sensitivity to anything other than pure soap

 

anybody else like lush, and the little green v's on all the vegan

tings, but not able to use it?

I know - the last time I checked some of their makeup brushes were

even made out of animal hair. Eww.

I've also heard Spectacular is okay, but not sure though... Star

Gazer is good for glitter and hair dye.
