Peta, mysef

There are A LOT of animal based ingredients in beauty products. Here are just a few...

Acetate,Hyaluronic Acid, Casein,Collegen, Silk Powder, Royal Jelly (bees) , Keratin.

I will recommend some books to you that will give you more information..

The Kind Life by Alicia Silverstone

The Vegan Girl's Guide to Life by Melisser Elliott

PETA has a list of companies that test on animals and a list of ones that do not.

Good Luck to you!!

i have a page on this in the Guides section of my website :-)
