No way Neutrogena!

"Why 'No to Neutrogena'?" I hear you ask. Good question. Because I was looking into my bathroom the other night and noticed that I have bucket-loads of Neutrogena toiletries. From shapoo to conditioner. From shower gel to soap. And then I heard a nasty little rumor. The type of rumor that could bring down a European empire. The rumor that *gasp* Neutrogena tests on animals *hiss*.

So I emailed them and asked them. I think one of their lawyers replied because the email reply sounded like a yes but came across as a no. I shook the haze from my wary head and came to the conclusion that these nasty people pry open the eyes of little bunnies and kitties and pour crap into them to make sure I can use them safely in my bath without running the risk of being scorched by acid. Horrendous. And I WILL NOT condone that kind of behaviour - there's, not mine.

It's an abomination that in the 21st century, people still have monkeys and rabbits and cats in labs, solely for testing. It's shocking and I will be clearing out my bathroom of all and any Neutrogena products - just as soon as the bottle is empty and I can find a good replacement product that doesn't test on animals. Any suggestions? Did I hear someone say Aveda?
