Welcome to my first post here on the blog. I hope you feel passionate about the content and get inspired for your life.

Isn't that a simple question?

Maybe if you are already here reading a content

at a vegan lifestyle blog, you might think this question is basic, but a lot of people still get mistaken about this.

Let's talk simple: cruelty-free are products that during their process of creation, they don't do animal testing. Vegan are products that don't have anything on the formula from animals. So, usually, you will see these two words together in the label " Cruelty-free and Vegan".

How does animal testing work?

Animal testing is not required by the government to the company, although many companies still use this procedure and they hurt innocent animals.

These procedures are usually made with rabbits or dogs, and the company uses their products on the animal to see the reactions that the product can cause. Nowadays we have 3D skins which are much more reliable to test human allergies, but some companies still use animals because is cheaper.
