Hey everyone! What is up? My name is
Christian Aguilar. Welcome back to my
channel. I have a self-help & lifestyle
channel. I publish a new video every week,
so in this week's video, I am doing a
cruelty-free beauty haul. I am going to
rant for a bit, so if you would like to
simply skip to the haul, I will leave
the link in the description box. For
those who are not familiar with cruelty-
free, cruelty-free is when cosmetics and
commercial products do not use
experimentation on animals. Why would
companies test on animals? Well animals
cannot speak up for themselves, and they
do not have the ability to sue if
something went wrong. Companies such as
MAC, Clean and Clear, Dove, and Avon test on
animals. According to Peta.org, examples
of animal tests include: forcing mice and
rats to inhale toxic fumes, force feeding
dogs pesticides, and dropping corrosive
chemicals into rabbits sensitive eyes.
Peta also states that if cosmetics or
household products blind or poison the
animals during the test, they are often
marketed anyway. I plan on becoming vegan
one day, but in order to do so, I have to
take baby steps. The first approach is to
purchase materials that are cruelty-free,
and get rid of materials that test on
animals. If you would like to know more,
please check out Peta.org, and educate
yourself on animal testing. You can also
search for which of your favorite
cosmetic brands are cruelty-free or
test on animals. If you enjoy this
video, please subscribe to my channel. If
you want to see more cruelty-free hauls,
please like this video because I still
have some more shopping to do. Nonetheless,
let's get started. All the cruelty-
free products that I bought were from
Target. The very first purchase that I
made was the Tom's of Maine's deodorant.
It came in Mountain Spring. This
product is cruelty-free, it has no
artificial colors, flavors, fragrances, or
preservatives. I'm not the biggest fan of
this scent, but it gets the job done.
There was another one that I really
wanted to get that was from Tom's of
Maine, and it was a men's deodorant,
but it wasn't cruelty-free, so I might as
well go with the one that is cruelty-
free.
The next purchase that I made were the Pacifica
natural beauty underarm deodorant wipes.
I'm enrolled in a Jazz Dance course at
school, and after the class, I'm sweating.
Since I'm not the biggest fan of the
Mountain Spray deodorant smell. I think
it's best that I can apply these to my
underarms in the bathroom after Jazz
Dance. These smell so good. They smell very
tropical. The third item that I bought
is the Burt's Bees' facial cleansing
towelettes. Like I mentioned before,
right after Jazz Dance, I'm literally
sweating, and I think it's best to wipe
my face with these cleansing wipes,
instead of going to the restroom and
just grabbing a paper towel, wetting it, and
placing it on my face. This will actually
remove the dirt and sweat. Shout out to Burt's
Bees for no animal testing. And you can
also use this as makeup wipes. The fourth
item is the Burt's Bees Vanilla Bean
chap stick. Before I started learning
about animal testing, I was using EOS for
chap stick, and they test on animals, so I
decided to give away all of my EOS lip
balms + this lip balm is vanilla bean,
which is one of my favorites scents, so I
cannot wait to start using this one. Another
Burt's Bees purchase is the Honey and
Grapeseed hand cream. I used to use the
EOS lotion, but like I mentioned before
EOS tests on animals, so I decided to get
rid of that one, and replace it with this
one. Sometimes, I need to moisturize my
hands at school, so with this in my
backpack, I'm ready to go. The next
purchase that I made is the Yes to Naturals Men's shaving cream.
Before I knew what animal testing was, I was
using Neutrogena, but Neutrogena also
tests on animals, so I got rid of the
Neutrogena Men's Sensitive Skin Shaving
Cream, and I replaced it with this one,
which I am also excited to use because
this one has ninety-six percent of
natural ingredients. Plus, it's cruelty-free.
The next item that I purchased is the
Every Man Jack's shampoo and conditioner.
Before this one, I was using Pantene and
TRESemmé, and sadly those products also
test on animals. I am happy about this
one and got rid of the animal testing
products because it is naturally derived,
it is cruelty-free, and there is no GMOs.
The next purchase that I made is the
Alba Botanica, I don't really
know how it's pronounced, but it is body
lotion. And it includes one hundred
percent vegetarian ingredients. It has no
parabens, and it is animal cruelty-free.
Before this one, I was using Nivea, and Nivea
sadly, also tests on animals. Some of you
are probably shocked at how many brands
I'm mentioning that test on animals. The
next item that I bought was the Shea
Moisture Superfruit Complex hair mask.
It's not good to wash your hair every
single day, so the days that I don't wash
my hair, which is every other day, I'll
use this hair mask. There is no sulfates,
no parabens, and there's no gluten. Shea
Moisture is cruelty-free, and you can
find this at Target. The next item I
bought was these Savon by Olivia Care
natural olive oil bath soaps. Before these,
I was using Caress and Dove and sadly,
those also test on animals, so I got rid
of that, and I decided to get these. I
decided to get the Verbena scent. It's
smells very lemony. Literarily, you can smell the
scent through the box, and then I
decided to get Lavender. This one smells
so good. I cannot wait to start using
these. And the final purchase that I made
to top it all off is this awesome
Contents beauty bag. This is going to be
very helpful because if you have adopted
the cruelty-free lifestyle. Not everyone
in your household is going to have
cruelty-free products, so when I go and
take a shower, I can literally put my bar
soap in here, my shaving cream, and
my lotion. And this is going to be
very helpful when I travel. There are no
excuses to use products that test on
animals because you can always carry
this with your cruelty-free products. And
that is it. I hope all of you enjoyed this
video. If so, please give this video a
thumb up, and subscribe to my channel if
you want to see more cruelty-free
product hauls because like I mentioned
before, I still have some more shopping
to do. I really encourage you to educate
yourself on animal testing and animal
cruelty. I hope it opens your eyes, and I
hope that you adopt the cruelty-free lifestyle.
If you decided to do your research on
animal testing, and you continue to buy
products that test on animals, you are
paying them to test animals. Until
next week, see y'all later.
