Brilliant Cruelty Free Products- Perfumes, Cosmetics, Cleaning and more

If you are wondering where to buy cruelty free perfume, make up and more, this information may help. Cruelty Free Kitty have a very comprehensive online list. If, like me, you are passionate about using cruelty free cosmetics and household products you may fancy trying some of these:

Skin and hair care:

Neals Yard: The most fabulous bubble bath- seaweed and arnica is our favourite especially after a long run. It lasts for ages.

Espa- I love the pink hair mud! Many spas use the Espa range which I love as I can relax knowing that my treatment is cruelty free. See our review of The Cambridge Belfry and Bedford Lodge Spa, Newmarket here!

Or perhaps you like making your own DIY products, like this aloe vera pre-poo hair treatment?

Liz Earle: I could rave about Liz Earle products for hours- I love them all! This is my ‘go to’ brand and all of the products that I have tried have been wonderful. The ‘Superskin serum’ is excellent for sensitive skin and their classic ‘Cleanse and Polish’ is great too. Hair, body and make up products are also fantastic.

Elemis– Have you tried the Quiet Temple Balm? So calming and relaxing. Perfect for unwinding after a busy day. Used in Y Spa and other spas and salons.

Dermaologica– A great ultra calming range. Quality skincare.

Body Shop– I love the Ginger Shampoo and conditioner which is specifically for dry scalps and the make up range is great too. Look for the great discount voucher codes online (but we aware that some of their products are exempt from the discounts).

Bathtime:

I have recently discovered online company Cheshire Bath Boutique who hand make a gorgeous range of bubble bars and bath products. Super bubbly and they smell divine!

Arbonne products are certified by the Vegan Society. I love the body lotions and shower gels. The calm skin range is also great for sensitive skin.

Lush – For anyone old enough to remember ‘Cosmetics to Go’, the pre-runner to Lush, I have been a fan of the bubble bath bars and natural products ever since then and still LOVE the brand. Try walking past without being seduced in by your nose. Amazing bath bombs, shower gels, lotions and potions and even fragrances. Try one of the amazing Lush Spas for a real treat!

*Also Superdrug own label products have a wide range and choice – look for the cruelty free bunny on the back. Superdrug has its own toothpaste range and deodorants which are cruelty free.

Original source– scrumptious smelling shower gels.
