Deciding to be fully cruelty free is heartbreaking

Ive been passively cruelty free for a few years but I've decided to be fully cruelty free because...why would I be pro cruelty? Welp, im gonna use up what products that I have but man - am i replacing a lot. Toothpaste, face wash, mouth wash, my mascara, MY TOOTHBRUSH! WTH...now im paranoid that I'll have to check my pens. Im scared to check my laundry detergent- speaking of which, any good recommendations for cruelty free laundry detergent for sensitive skin? Just in case?

All time favorite cruelty free personal care brand/product?

The title says it all. Do you have a favorite go to brand for personal care products? It could be skin care, body care, or hair care, etc.

CF Content Creators?

I’ve been buying primarily CF for years now, only owning a few cruelty-made items (old purchases, don’t wanna throw out). I make it a point to only support CF brands.

With that said, I’ve always been into watching makeup related videos and recently started getting a guilty feeling whenever I interact with a video where cruelty-made products are being showcase. Therefore, I want to push my support toward creators who are completely CF. Do you have any favorite creators? If so, please let me know!

I’m not into the whole “natural/minimal/clean girl” makeup style that is taking the makeup world by storm rn so suggestions for full glam artist or something similar would be great.

In-shower lotions?

I’d love to find a moisturizer or lotion I can apply while in the shower. I know there are specific “in-shower” moisturizers but all the ones I’ve found are not cruelty free. Open to even lotions that aren’t specifically marketed this way but you’ve used with success in the shower too.

It’s an ADHD thing, the only success I’ve had with any skincare is IN the shower (not before, not after).

Alternatives to cetaphil moisturizing lotion

This lotion works really well for my face so I want to find an alternative that feels similar. My skin is on the dry side, and I get a bit of acne. Anyone have recommendations in the same price range as cetaphil ($10-20)? I was considering trying first aid beauty, but it’s a little more than I’d like to pay in case I end up hating it.

Alternative to Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel

Looking for a cruelty-free alternative to neutrogena‘s hydro boost WATER GEL. I don’t want a cream I want a water based gel. I have sensory issues and I’m super sensitive to feeling greasy cause I have oily skin already. I have tried Elf‘s Gel Yeah moisturizer and it feels sticky and greasy to me, so does Byoma’s moisturizing gel cream. I need something that’s super weightless, like I don’t feel anything after putting the hydro boost water gel. I’m willing/able to spend up to around $50. I would really appreciate the help! Thank you! (also this is my first post on Reddit ever so I’m sorry if I’m not doing something right)

Rare Beauty lip oil swatches

I love this CF brand and just started trying her lip products.

I did a quick side by side of some of the Rare Beauty Tinted Lip Oils - Hope, Wonder, Serenity, and Affection. I did one coat, 2 coats, and then a pic with everything wiped off after 20 minutes to show the stain. I think these are really great lip oils from a really good company, and the stain is so nice.

My cat knocked my whole bathroom shelf into the tub and I had to rebuild it from zero

So this happened last weekend and I'm still a little annoyed about it lol. My cat Milo jumped up on the little shelf above my bathroom sink to chase a moth or something, and the whole thing came down with him. Broke three bottles, cracked my favorite face wash pump, and left me standing there at 11pm sweeping up glass in my pajamas.

The annoying part is most of what broke was stuff I'd been using for years and just kept repurchasing without thinking twice. So now I basically had to start over, and I told myself I'd actually pay attention to what I was buying this time instead of grabbing the same bottles out of habit.

I didn't have a big budget for this since it was an unplanned expense, so I went to Target hoping to find some decent replacements without spending a fortune. Ended up walking out with the daily hydration moisturizer and a couple of their makeup wipes for under 15 bucks total. Genuinely didn't expect drugstore prices to line up with cruelty free stuff this easily, I always assumed that meant paying more.

For my face wash I picked up something from wet n wild's skin line since they had a small display near the register . It's nothing fancy but it does the job and my skin hasn't complained yet, which is honestly the bar at this point.

Still need to replace my body wash and shampoo since those didn't survive the fall either, so if anyone has budget friendly certified recommendations for those I'd take them. Kind of a silly way to end up rebuilding my whole routine but here we are, thanks Milo I guess.

CF alternative to Film Noir MAC lipstick?

Recently did some swatches of it at sephora and loved the color and texture but with that price tag I would rather it go to a cruelty free brand.

Gentle face wash but not Pacifica

For years I used Neutrogena Extra Gentle Cleanser than I switched to Pacifica Vegan Ceramide Extra Gentle Face Wash. I‘ve tried it for six months and it doesn’t fully take off my makeup.

Any recommendations for a relatively gentle face wash that will take off my makeup?

Product recommendations for a redhead? Cruelty free eyeshadow specifically?

Fellow redheads or folks familiar with makeup for redheads, I really need your help!

Basically, I’m looking for cruelty free products to elevate my makeup for special events like some upcoming weddings. Specifically, I can’t figure out what eyeshadow looks or palettes would work for me.

I have coppery red hair that is a little more muted and blue eyes (they kind of lean grey or green?). I think my skin is neutral leaning cool, but to be honest I’ve found a lot of cool toned products look terrible on me??

Does anyone know of specific eyeshadow palettes that would work for me? I’m also open to other product recs if you have them.

New Rule: Rule #5 (Source Must Be Mentioned)

Hi, guys! We just published a new rule. From now on, a source has to be mentioned for every brand recommended. You can put your source in quote blocks (example 1) or you can mention right after the recommended brand in parentheses (example 2). This lets us know that you intended to comment in this subreddit. This also saves everyone time from fact-checking.

Example 1:

I recommend Dove Shampoo.

>Source: PETA

Example 2:

I would suggest the Milani lipstick (LB).

Justice for the Lives Lost: Hold Charles Morgan Accountable

Three beloved dogs were burned alive. A home destroyed. And the man responsible may only serve 3 years instead of the 20 offered.

Charles Morgan pled guilty to three counts of aggravated animal cruelty and two counts of arson. He deliberately set fires that killed three of my dogs and nearly cost lives—he had no way of knowing if anyone was home. Two of my remaining dogs survived with severe PTSD and burns. He's been out on bond, spending just one week in jail for what he did.

I started a petition asking the court to impose a sentence that actually reflects the severity of his crimes. Research shows direct links between animal cruelty and escalating violence against people. This isn't about revenge—it's about community safety. Right now, I see him around town. At the same stores. On the same roads. Like nothing happened.

If this matters to you too, consider signing and sharing. What would you want someone to do if this was your family?
