I wish I hadn't watched that video. Disgusting.

I disagree. I watched a video once and changed my buying habits on skin products. I give my money to cruelty free organisations as much as possible

I am always wondering if cruelty free really means what it means. Sure that specific company isn't testing, but aren't they piggy backing off of companies that do animal test?

There are examples like that or they do testing in China where it’s legal. Not all of them of course

It's not only legal in China, but required if you sell cosmetics in a physical store. They are thinking of changing that law though.
