A Little Off-Topic

For some, veganism consists solely of a change in diet, but for others it involves the removal of as many animal-based products from their lives as possible (no more leather shoes, jackets, belts, purses, wool, silk, etc). One area where animal content is hidden is in beauty and health products. Many animals are tortured in the manufacture and testing of cosmetics so I just wanted to pass on my experience with a (99%) animal-free product line called Consonant.

None of their products are tested on animals and only two products in their entire line contain any animals products (beeswax in their Organic Olive Oil Body Soap and dairy in their Goat’s Milk Soap). I can attest that the products feel great and their packaging is beautiful. They have an amazing web site and should be supported. photo by Mike Halwa
