THE Guide to Cruelty-Free Products

Trying to find out which products are tested on animals and which aren't? This book is the answer. Of course, if you simply shop at a natural foods store (where most products are cruelty-free, and are labeled such), you can skip the hassle of cross-referencing with the book, but if there are no natural groceries in your area, or you're too scared to set foot in one, this volume is a handy companion.The researchers have gone beyond telling you which products are tested on animals and which aren't: they also identify which companies themselves are cruelty-free, and which companies use animal-derived ingredients in their products -- even if they don't test the products themselves on animals. They also tell you whether companies are manufacturers, distributors, or mail-order vendors, and cross-reference which companies make which products. Not enough for you? Then you also get a list of charities which fund animal experiments and those which don't.I'd give the book 5 stars instead of 4 if its list of which *ingredients* are animal-derived and which aren't was a little more comprehensive, and if it gave some kind of indication as to why that list differs a bit from what was published in the '92 version. But that's a minor disappointment. If you want a cruelty-free guide, you won't do better than this.
