For my topic I decided to research the integumentary system. And my topic was Animal Testing.
Did you know Animals have been used in testing for over 2,000 years?
Over the last few years animal testing has dropped because of the pressure from Animal Right Activists. However most makeup brands/companies still animal test. Lots of brands that animal test are sold at Wal-Mart (ex; Cover Girl). There are so few makeup brands that don’t support animal testing. Some of those brands are: Avon Cosmetics, Aveda, Clinique Makeup and Estee. What most people probably don’t realize is the fact that every year, cosmetics companies kill millions of animals to test their products. And the animals they test range everywhere from mice - dogs. It’s terrible & as some people say ‘inhumane’.
Even though some cosmetics are labelled “cruelty free” or “not tested on animals” it does not mean that the product in them was not tested on animals…
The Company can claim that the products themselves weren’t tested on animals, when another company actually used animals to test the ingredients used in the product.

Thats really sad that they test on animals and I wonder why they can't just use natural ingredents in there makeup so that they know it won't hurt our bodies and so that we won't have to test on animals... and does that mean that even though so makeup says they don't test on animals, can they be lieing or are they telling the truth?
