People are always surprised when I mention how many things I have to intentionally buy vegan/cruelty-free. Compassion isn’t cheap so a lot of businesses don’t prioritize it. This is why I think it is important that we, the informed consumers, incentivize and monetize compassionate companies! That being said, it is hard to buy cruelty-free products, when you don’t know which products are cruel to begin with which is why I have made this handy-dandy list for your convenience (I have also included an image of a vegan alternative below each number)!
1. Laundry Detergent
2. Dish Soap
3. Toothpaste/most other beauty products
4. Sugar
5. Plastic Bags
