Review: Cruelty Free Skin Care Products

Since I have just started using cruelty free products from the beginning of 2011, I am still in the process of replacing animal tested products with cruelty free ones. I am not throwing away the animal tested ones, instead I am using what I have and when they finish I replace them cruelty free ones found on crueltyfreemalta.com Just to let you know my skin type is sensitive and oily. The toner and scrub are not mentioned. This is because either they are not cruelty free for now or because I am unsure whether they are.

Cleansers

Soap Café Herbal Blast facial & body soap

This soap was given to me as a gift from Soap Cafe. I use this soap twice a day and I am planning on buying one for my body.

PROS:

• face feels clean and fresh
• eco friendly (no plastic bottles)
• suitable for oily and spot prone skin
• natural and handmade in Malta

CONS:

• none

Other Notes:

Tried another facial soap from Soap Cafe, but this is the best one for my skin type.

Handmade Naturals Plum & Avocado Facial Cleanser

I use this to remove my eye make-up.

 PROS:

• removes mascara, liquid eyeliner and other make up that is hard to remove
• doesn’t hurt my eyes
• natural and handmade

CONS:

• when used as a moisturiser my skin felt very oily (packaging says that it can be used as a moisturiser for oily skin)

Other Notes:

As a moisturiser I prefer Handmade Naturals Sensitive Face Cream (vegan)

Mask

Handmade Naturals Cranberry & Green Tea Mask

This was sent to me by the Maltese importer of Handmade Naturals, for review.

PROS:

• face feels clean and fresh
• natural and handmade
• you can use other liquids apart from water

CONS:

• none
• want a larger version 🙂

Other Notes:

I think it will be great if there is a bigger version. After I finish this one, I will purchase a different one just to have tried them all. – fifi 🙂
