Before I did some research on this topic, I did not know anything about skin care products. I have learned so much about skin care products after doing my research on them. The skin care labeling I will be writing about is the “not tested on animals”. At first glance I thought it sounded very interesting so I decided to do some research on it. When it says “not tested on animals”’, it means that it guarantees that the product was not tested on any new animals. That is great to know because I do not want animals going through pain by testing it out. It also means that any products with that label on it did not have any new animals testing it out. To get certified, the skin care products need to sign a legally binding contract. Then they make sure that anything in your product is not tested on any animals. They even check the supplier to make sure that it is not getting tested on any animals. The unfortunate part about getting the “not tested on animals” logo is that it cost a lot of money. It costs so much money that some companies can not afford it. That sucks for them because they might be completely certified but they can not afford it. That means it will hurt their business because people want the stuff with the correct labeling on it. I am really excited that I researched this topic this week because I learned so much about what is going on with skin care products.
