To embark on the journey to a cruelty-free life, you must make decisions on a lot of key aspects. When it comes to the food you eat, you\u2019ll decide whether you want to be vegetarian, vegan, or neither. When it comes to\u00a0the products you choose to use\u2026well,\u00a0most people\u00a0tend to be more in the dark. However, we don\u2019t have to be. By acknowledging products that are cruelty-free, you are one step closer to a cruelty-free life!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

First,\u00a0here is\u00a0one HUGE tip for picking household products: do not trust the label! When we think of cruelty-free, we believe that means no animals were harmed in the making. According to the\u00a0FDA<\/a>, companies are allowed to be \u201ckind in their labeling or advertising.\u201d That\u00a0small detail allows for a\u00a0variety\u00a0of products to sneak into\u00a0this\u00a0label. Some of the products within a product could have been tested on animals and still be labeled as cruelty-free. If you are looking for a product never tested on animals, make sure to do your research before purchasing.\u00a0Here are just a few brands that are truly cruelty-free.<\/p>\n

1. Method\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

With a whole collection of household cleaners, the options are endless. I have never found a Method product that does not work well. Method offers everything from bathroom cleaners to foaming body wash!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Mrs.\u00a0Meyer\u2019s\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Similar to Method products, Mrs. Meyer\u2019s creates plenty of options for different cleaners.\u00a0The online site includes bundle packages of the most popular items.\u00a0Their scents include comforting herbs\u00a0such as rosemary, lavender, and\u00a0many more. To top it all off, Mrs. Meyer\u2019s maintains an affordable price for all!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Seventh Generation\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Sponsored by one of my favorite actresses, Maya Rudolph, Seventh Generation advertises their plant-based clean. All of their products, including free & clear laundry detergent left synthetic fragrances and dyes for their competition. By only using plants, we can be guaranteed a natural and cruelty-free clean.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While this a very short list of products that are cruelty-free, the options are endless. If you are looking for more, check out\u00a0PETA<\/a>\u00a0for lists of products that do not test on animals!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
