Just one thing...

Here's just one thing you can do to prevent needless suffering of animals. The next time you buy fingernail polish, buy it from a company that does not test on animals.

The Hidden Ingredient in Cosmetic Testing: Animal Suffering
Every year, cosmetics companies kill millions of animals to test their products. These companies claim they test on animals to establish the safety of their products and ingredients for consumers. However, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not require animal testing for cosmetics, and alternative testing methods are widely available and lead to more reliable results.

Painful and Deadly Tests
Product testing is commonly performed on animals to measure the levels of skin irritancy, eye tissue damage, and toxicity caused by various substances used in the manufacture of cosmetics. In the Draize test, caustic substances are placed in the eyes of conscious rabbits to evaluate damage to sensitive eye tissues. This is extremely painful for the rabbits, who often scream when the substances are applied and sometimes break their necks or backs trying to escape the restraints.

Why buy from a company who tests on animals when it is so easy to buy cruelty free (not tested on animals) products? I wear fingernail polish a lot so I did some research and found fingernail polish brands that DO NOT test on animals. I've categorized it by where you can buy the product.
