What are you wearing?

Every year, millions of animals are poisoned, blinded, and killed in cruel tests to evaluate the toxicity of consumer products and their ingredients. Rats, mice, guinea pigs, rabbits, and other innocent animals are forced to swallow or inhale huge quantities of a test substance or endure the pain of a chemical eating away at their sensitive eyes and skin . This is a list of all the companies that sell products that have been tested on animals, compliments of PETA.
