Guest guest Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 A fellow vegan animal lover alerted me to the list at www.caringconsumer.com in order to help me avoid using cosmetics and products where the companies that make them DO test on animals. The list read like the former INDex of SAcriligious Books --theres so much that now has to be avoided, supermarket products about which oeven an animal-aware person may not think (most " beginer " vegans think in terms of FOOD and sometimes clothing, but cosmetics and even toothpaste often slip one's mind. 1) Can somebody tell me of a good, commonly marketed TOOTHPASTE that is vegan-acceptable. Crest, Colgate. Mentadent and Pearl Drops, I have so far discovered, are OUT but is PEPSODENT or SENSODYNE ok? (when replying, try to think of well known brands that can be purchased relatively easily at stores like Walmart, Publix, Winn Dixie Albertsons or CVS--I am in FLORIDA-- and am trying (as much as I can) to buy locally so as to avoid delay and extra shipping expense involved in mail order 2) With horor I found that Kleenex and Cottonelle , also Scott BATHROOM tissue are made by companies that test on animals. The town where I live in is the dust capital of the world )smile) so I do use a lot of Kleenex and cotton puffs when wash my face with lotions ( and of course Im paying attention that these liquids are vegan -- ALMAY and MERLE NORMAN--)so CAN SOMEONE TELL ME THE NAME AND WHERE TO BUY VEGAN FACE TISSUES SIMILAR TO KLEENEX< VEGAN COSMETIC PUFFS, AND__I M P O R T A N T__ VEGAN BATHROOM TISSUE I fel a bit awkward about asking re the latter, but it is a necessity and at the same time I want to " really do it right " --keep vegan with as much care and zeal a my Orth Jewish friends keep kosher and I respect them for it. Thanks Corinna cor390 (The " reward " will be info about brand new veggie oriented reading matter and how to get a little known vegan taste treat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 I would avoid all the main well known ones, and go for ones from health shops - read the labels to check that they are vegan.
