Silver Arrows<p>Ugh, for some reason, I didn't even notice that this <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Tintations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tintations</span></a> colourant is not vegan (contains keratin and collagen ie gelatin) and I can't see any mention of it not being tested on animals, so I definitely won't buy this again. The skin and hair care products I buy have been vegan and free of <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/animaltesting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>animaltesting</span></a>, so I suppose I took it for granted that this one was too.</p><p>Apparently, even <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/Schwarzkopf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Schwarzkopf</span></a> Live is tested on animals, so I won't be buying their colour again. Their pink colour at least is <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/vegan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>vegan</span></a> fwiw. When you see vegan, you just assume that includes not testing on animals, but they are careful with their wording, ie vegan formula, but not vegan friendly.</p><p>One of my colleagues gave me a pack of the Schwarzkopf Live pink and it worked well, so I switched to them and I just assumed that they wouldn't test on animals, since I thought that went out of fashion for cosmetics decades ago.</p><p>It looks like <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/CrazyColor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CrazyColor</span></a> (the first brand I used, actually) is fully vegan and doesn't test on animals.</p><p><a href="https://www.crazycolor.co.uk/cruelty-free-hair-dye" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">crazycolor.co.uk/cruelty-free-</span><span class="invisible">hair-dye</span></a></p><p>The first colour I did was pastel lilac 😞 The reason I stopped using it was because last time I used their Pinkissimo shade, the colour washed out immediately on the first rinse, even though I left it in for hours. But I think that might have been because it was old. So I'll go back to them next time I need to top up my colour and hope the colour sticks. I very nearly did buy it last time, I wish I had!</p><p><a href="https://autistics.life/tags/ethicalbeauty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ethicalbeauty</span></a></p>
