    coconut oil.

    ageed, virgin coconut oil. I have acne prone skin and this does not clog my pores. I use it on my face. Its great. And good for you to eat too.

    I haven't used any of their moisturizer, but I believe St. Ives is cruelty free.

    not sure on st ives testing or not. i'd rather the leaping bunny was on the products

    I Don't know about the urban decay one, cause I heard that they decided to no longer sell their products to China due to their production testing laws. :s

    I bought a Naked bundle the other day and the moisturiser is too much for my skin. Makes my combination skin looks really oily in the bad places and oily in the normal places! It's SO thick.

    So does anyone use a really good, cheapish (i'd pay up to £20) moisturiser for combination skin that isn't tested on animals?

    Thank you :)

    Even though I live a Paleo lifestyle, I use a lot of vegan cosmetics.

    I use coconut oil to cleanse and moisturize my face, but the cosmetics I use are in the link below.

    Here is what I use, they have everything.....

    There are many articles stating that they don't and will not sell in China.

    See above. Mary Kay is still committed to the total elimination of animal testing. And to make an additional comment...most if not all of the cosmetics/skin care products are made here in the USA. It's the brushes, bags, etc. (cloth stuff) that are made in China. I have yet to come across a product (skincare/cosmetics) that is made outside of the US (except for one in Canada but can't remember which one that was.)

    I use Jason with Ester-C. They reformulated it several months ago and it doesn't work as well for me, but still OK. I can buy it at Krogers in the health food section, or at Whole Foods, and it's reasonably priced.

    coconut oil.

    ageed, virgin coconut oil. I have acne prone skin and this does not clog my pores. I use it on my face. Its great. And good for you to eat too.

    I should say that I have problems with acne as well, had to see a specialist and use antibiotics and differen for six months to get it cleared up last time. This time it was getting really bad, and I was upset I was going to have to go back on antibiotics etc. again to get rid of it. I had been putting off using coconut oil for a while, waiting for my skin to clear up first because I didn't want to put oil on oily skin. But it was getting really bad, so I bit the bullet and crossed my fingers that the antibacterial properties of the coconut oil would help my acne, and started using it. Putting coconut oil on my pimply, crusty, scabby face felt so good, and it started to clear up within a few days.

    Am I pimple free? No, especially not the week before my period, but the rest of the time, my face is pretty clear, and the skin is very soft and smooth.
