    Just check out your local health food store. Mine has a whole bunch of beauty products, shampoos, toothpaste,etc that is veg friendly and also doesn't test on animals.
    CaringConsumer.com also lists companies that don't test on animals.

    Toms is definately rockin'. I use Toms' toothpaste and deodorant, (cinnamint and woodspice) and couldn't be happier with a regular brand. =)

    I might be wrong, but Burt's Bees kicks ass, as far as that goes.

    I know they don't test....but I bought the orange face wash w/o reading the ingrediants first and it contained lanolin (animal fat I think). They might not all be that way........that's the only thing from Burt's I've ever used.

    Lanolin is a greasy, yellow substance extracted from wool. When purified, it is used as a base for ointments and creams, as a lubricant, and in finishing and preserving leather. It is also a constituent of some varnishes and paints. Chemically, lanolin is chiefly a mixture of cholesterol and the esters of several fatty acids. With water it forms an emulsion. As a waste product in wool processing, it is known also as wool wax, wool fat, or wool grease.
