This companies products seem reasonably priced (not tried them yet as only just found site) and you can add the aromatherapy oils of your choice to basic moisturiser, shampoo and bath stuff if you don't fancy the 'ready mades' (see towards the bottom of the page)

Also, they're offering a free bottle of Tea Tree oil, you pay the p&p, click on the Aromatherapy section at top of webpage for details.

Now i know i am going off topic here so please forgive me,but as i am glad there are so many people here,like me,who abhor testing on animals,i wondered if you would also be interested to learn of a list of charities that do or don't fund experiments on animals.

Though some may consider they are justified for medical cures etc,the fact there are so many medical charities that use alternatives,proves it can be done in a much kinder way.

Some of the ethical websites are confusing too. Even BUAV still has the body shop listed as a company to go for when their parent company are so utterly evil!

I'm going to Lush today to try out some of their stuff. I've not always gotten on with their shampoo (i have senstive skin and a lot of hair) but i think it's worth another go as they seem like such an ethical company.

Am trying to get the OH to use animal friendly products too. I did let him buy some tescos own brand shampoo as it had a good animal friendly blurb on the back.

I know some of you may tell me to go nowhere near tescos but i'm still muddling my way through this and I still rely on tescos too much - i am trying to reduce this though!!

I think the body shop is still listed by BUAV because as a brand in iteslf it still does not test on animals. If you go on the body shop site Im sure there is something on there saying the brand is going to stick to its ethical principles. HOWEVER...what I think is, well how do we know where the body shop profits are going?? Straight to Loreal to fund animal testing on another range?

Animal testing, in partcular, cosmetic testing really annoys me. I wish mroe people were against it, it seems so vain to be causing suffering to animals just so they can make the latest mascara, etc. I hate it.

I wouldnt use tescos either by the way. Blurbs on the back can be so misleading, I wouldnt trust them. Co-op is probably your best bet if you want to pick things up from the supermarket.
