So this year, you can be part of the solution rather than the problem by putting some ethical alternatives on to your shopping list, many of which can be found coexisting with the more established products at your local supermarket or healthcare store.
All these brands receive our best rating for their animal testing policy because they are made by cruelty-free companies.
The top 5 cruelty-free beauty products from our shopping guides:
