What kind of lip gloss/ lipstick doesn't contain animal byproducts?

I recently found out that lipstick (most kinds) contain animal byproducts such as ground up fish and shellfish. Lip gloss also contains whale blubber. I really like to make my lips shiny but if I have to hurt animals for it than it's not worth it. I just want to know if there are any make-up companies who don't put animals in their products.

You have no compassion. When one old wrinkled adult shellfish dies, it makes room for a dozen cuddly, chubby cheeked little baby shellfish. Who are you to deny them life?

Hey :)





I'm Vegan So If You Ever Find Any Other Brands Of Cruelty Free Make Up Please Let Me Know? :)





But I Would Recommend Anything Off The BUAV Or VIVA Websites.





They Are Animal Charities, Who Campaign For Animal Welfare And Better Standards.





So You Can Be Sure Their Products Are Vegan and Cruelty Free.





Also, You Can Buy BUAV Approved Make Up In Many Shops, Just Google ';BUAV Approved Make Up';





The BUAV (British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection) Logo On Products Symbolises They Are Cruelty Free And Have No Animal Ingredient.





I THINK The Websites Are:





www.viva.org.uk





And





www.buav.org





But If I'm Wrong, Just Google ';BUAV'; And ';Viva';





Hope I Helped :)

Don't you have links for that through your vegetarian networks? I had a roommate once, long ago, before computers were common in every home. She had all sorts of such information...I think Almay may be one company that avoids such products. Try searching vegan sites, and the like. Surely they will have that information.
SMASHBOX COSMETICS


and MAC


and there's a super long list on petaworld.com
I think you should do bit more research about cosmetics, your information is seriously outdated. Don't simply take one source as the absolute truth, especially if it's a biased source that's that's pushing an agenda. Whale blubber hasn't been used in cosmetics since the 1970's due to cost. In 1988 it was banned for use in all in cosmetics. The recent article making the rounds on-line contains words such as ';concern'; ';might be used'; ';could be used'; in other words, the entire article is speculation and not based on fact, only conjecture. The assertions in the article are baseless and founded on pure rumour and innuendo. Besides, it would not make any cosmetics cheaper, which is the concern of the article: it would make a tube of lip gloss cost over a hundred dollars.





Beyond the fact it is no longer rendered for any purposes purposes even if it was available, it's unstable and turns rancid too easily. Most cosmetics are made with chemicals and plant materials. By the way, shellfish aren't hurt: The shells are what's used and shells are inert minerals. They are simple animals with little more more than a brain stem, they don't have the ability to feel pain as they have no pain receptors. Shellfish are not used any longer as they are far too abrasive to the skin and can cause serious allergy reactions. Fish scales are also obsolete due to cost, allergy concerns and shelf stability, again the scales turn rancid. Even lards and animal fats from farm animals are no longer used as they spoil and become contaminated with bacteria very easily. The concern for shelf stability made these easily spoiled sources of raw materials obsolete.





Most sparkle and shine in modern cosmetics comes from mineral sources including mica and bismuth oxychloride, a chemical that is lab manufactured. Liquid glosses are either petrolatum ( aka Vaseline, a crude oil derivative) glycerin, liquid sugars, mineral oils or silicones. Some are made with plant oils, although the same spoilage issues are a concern with plant ingredients. Some are made with waxes, including bees wax, but don't worry, bees aren't killed, hurt or harmed when the wax is skimmed from the hive for honey, the beekeeper keeps them alive and happy so they make more wax and honey.





When you ';just hear something from someone'; then be automatically skeptical and do more research. Don't believe everything you hear until you have checked it carefully.
