conditioner for dry hair NOT tested on animals

Wine_of_the_World

As above - I'm looking for a conditioner for dry hair that tangles easily. I have been using Aussie conditioner, but I have just found out it's tested on animals :mad:.

So, I am looking for a good conditioner that's not tested on animals and is not crazy expensive!

Can anyone help?

Depends on your definition of crazy expensive but this is really good.

My hair is coloured and prone to dryness. After reading some recommendations on here for conditioners without parabens and silicones I am using Rainforest Moisture Conditioner from the Body Shop and have been most pleased with it.

All superdrug's own brand is cruelty free.

I have long dry hair and have used Superdrug's 'coconut and sweet almond' conditioner with good results.

Very reasonable priced too, at 99p!

Have a look at this. There is now a ban on the sale of animal tested products in the EU, including imported products. This includes shampoo, deodorant etc., not just make up.

Although you may still be giving your money to a company that tests in other countries, particularly multinational companies who sell in China where animal testing is required by law.

The BUAV website has a list of companies who have committed to no animal testing at all, anywhere. Also Naturewatch produce a booklet with companies, you have to pay £4 for it but I bought one and it's really useful. As far as I remember, both BUAV and Naturewatch's criteria is that there must be a fixed cut off date for ingredients (and therefore final product).

Thanks for all the replies so far. I haven't had any luck with coconut conditioners in the past. My hair is strange - its very fine, and a lot of it! I may try the Lush one though, thinking as its expensive it might have more of the 'good' stuff in it.

I try to avoid the Body Shop as they are owned by L'Oreal who do test on animals. I've switched to M&S for body butters as they have good no testing on animals policies - but they dont seem to do conditioners.

I cant believe how many companies DO test on animals - in one way or another - Avon, Dove - even posh Clinique do - Boots is also suspect I believe as they are no longer clear about their testing policies as they were in the past .

I would assume you would have to rule Boots out as they are also a pharmaceutical company (not just a high street pharmacy) and thus will have to carry out animal tests on its drug products.
Also you should be aware that although companies can say they don't test their products on animals, they may use ingredients that have been animal tested. You need to be sure you're looking at the right claims
There is a reason so many companies do have testing in some form. I certainly wouldn't want to put anything on my head, risk it running in my eyes, if there was a chance it could burn my skin or damage my vision

Boots do not test any of their own brand products on animals, and the ingredients within the products are also not tested on animals.

Medicinal products must undergo tests on animals, it's a legal requirement for a company to obtain a licence for a drug. A few years back they sold their animal testing business to BASF, but they do market generic medicines under the Boots label, and those drugs will have had to be animal tested at some point.
There's several articles out there disputing the wording Boots use, and pointing out that the fact they don't do the testing themselves, on certain products, doesn't mean that products they sell aren't animal tested.
