When it comes to animal testing, there's really no reason to do it with cosmetics. And it's not just me and PETA who think this way; the European Union has banned all cosmetics-related animal testing, effective next year. It's not only about saving bunnies from having shampoo poured in their eyes — although that seems like a good-enough reason to me.
In honor of Earth Day, I've rounded up a few of my favorite eco-friendly beauty products. I've personally tried all of these (whew!) and there's something for everybody (and for every budget). Remember, though, the best way to help the environment is to consume less — so if you don't need to buy something, you'll be saving a lot of energy and packaging costs.
