Being only on my...6th day as an official vegan, I have learned to ALWAYS read label ingredients lists, even from brands that I foolishly trust. I have been really enjoying products made by "Kiss My Face"... hand soap, bodywash, all that jazz. Then I bought the "All Night Creme" to give it a whirl and double-checked that the label had the assurance:<br><br><br><br>
"This product was created <i>without animal ingredients</i>, artificial colors, unnecessary chemicals, or animal testing."<br><br><br><br>
...Basically that's what ALL their labels say, which is why I trusted them. But then when I actually browsed the ingredients, AHH! Beeswax!! Isn't THAT an animal ingredient? Or are they assuming that insects don't count as animals? Makes me so frustrated!! And here I was thinking that when a brand pledges itself to being cruelty-free, I can hold them to it! *sigh* I can tell this will be a looooong learning process. I already found out too late that my "vegan" parmesan cheese has casein in it. Should have read the thread where everyone else grumbled about that! lol. Guess I'll eat it (the "parmesan", not the face creme LOL!) anyways since I can't return it. What a waste.
