The European Union has not only banned animal testing for cosmetics, it has also banned the import and sale of such products. This is good news for vegans, and even better news for the animals typically used for cosmetic testing. To know more about vivisection and animal testing, please read this article The Truth About Cats and Dogs and Vivisection I previously wrote for another site.
While the Philippines still does not have the same regulations, it does not mean that our home, bath and cleaning products cannot be cruelty-free.
Here is a peak into some of the cruelty-free products that I use. All are not tested on animals and vegan. The brands may have non-vegan variants, but the ones shown in pictures below are most certainly vegan.

From left to right: elf concealer, Urban Decay bronzer, Urban Decay body powder, Lush tea tree toner water, Lush sugar lip scrub, Lush deodorant powder, Lush facial moisturizer, The Body Shop makeup brushes, Ecotools makeup brushes.
From left to right: Nature's Gate toothpaste, Nature's Gate liquid soap (sold in Healthy Options).
Inside the bathroom cabinet, left to right: Nature's Gate mouthwash, Jason hand and body lotion, Crystal Essence mineral deodorant and body spray, Desert Essence tea tree dental floss, neti salt. (Most are sold in Healthy Options).
Left to right: Ritual shampoo, Ritual liquid soap.
Messy Bessy hand and body wash.
Some products that I use are not shown because for aesthetic reasons, I transfer them into uniform Muji containers. Products that I use and not shown are Desert Essence facial wash, Nature's Gate conditioner, Human Heart Nature shaving oil, Going Green pet shampoo (Scrappy uses this, not me), and Avalon Organics lotion. For cleaning products, I use Messy Bessy and Ritual. Both are local companies that do not test on animals, the variants that I use are vegan, and both companies accept empty containers of their products.
This list is by no means comprehensive. You can search online for a more complete list or download the Leaping Bunny Cruelty-Free app. Remember to check two things: animal testing and animal ingredients/ products and by-products.
It takes only a few minutes of our time, but for the animals it means that their happiness, freedom, and lives are at stake.
Veganism is non-violence. Please choose non-violence. Why not start with your bathroom?
