Cruelty Free Derma e. A review of a vegan option.

Derma e is a Southern California brand and was first brought to my attention upon that life changing visit (profound yet very true statement) to The Gentle Barn in Santa Clarita, CA.  Derma e products are vegan and cruelty free.  The ingredients used are all plant based, natural and organic. I have seen Derma e for sale in Bed Bath & Beyond, Whole Foods, Target, online and in other retailers in the US.  Unfortunately I could not find distributors when I did a little research and checked if they were sold in stores in Ireland, however you can order from Amazon.co.uk and they are sold in stores in the UK and Canada. The products themselves can seem a little pricey at first glance but from my experience are worth it and you only need a very small amount of any of the products reviewed below.  Therefore each jar will go a long way.

Cruelty Free Face and Hair Products for Men

The origins of this post are a little disheartening to say the least.  I feel compelled to write a short note for men.  

To give a little background..   When briefly, via approximately 2 texts of 140 characters each brief I said to my brother the product junkie, that all the products he uses are tested on animals and for every product he has there is an equivalent available made by another company that is cruelty free, that does not test on animals.  To put this into context he is an animal lover, a horse rider and a dog owner.  His response was, "really, how do I find out though?".  Meaning where can I find said products and where do I find the information?   I thought to myself, well wait a minute what have I been writing about for the last 2 - 3 months.  It's a pretty dismal sign if even your family aren't reading your blog.  My text back was something mature to the affect of "MY BLOG!!!" hashtag sarcastic smiley face, or it should have been.
