In Episode 064 of the Vegetarian Zen podcast we discussed what “cruelty free” really means and how to tell if products and their ingredients are truly made without harming animals. We also debunked some myths about cruelty free products. One of those myths is that they are hard to find.

 

With that in mind, in this episode we let you know about some good cruelty free products and where to buy them. We also clarify some information about the cruelty free certification programs we discussed in the last episode.
