Dame Anita: Founder of the Body Shop and champion of Fair Trade, she was the ethical face of retail.
No more Body.

She sold the Body Shop down the river to L'Oreal, though.  |

Yeah, but the deal obliged L'Oreal to maintain the franchise structure and the traceable/Fair Trade/non-animal cruelty ingredients.

I know, but that's little comfort: Body Shop purchases still give profit to an animal-testing company. |

I've been investigating and you're right! I'd thought L'Oreal publicly subscribed to the cut-off date for animal testing as advocated by Nature Watch, but it seems there are contradictions in their policy. Naturewatch does provide a pdf template letter to send to L'Oreal, which I certainly intend to do. Not that I'd ever buy a L'Oreal product. And, actually, I don't buy Body Shop anymore either - or Green & Blacks since they sold out to Cadbury.
There are lots of organic, truly cruelty-free products available - the best online. Here are some [mostly UK] if anyone's interested:
HAIR AND BODY CARE:
Organic Blue - BRILLIANT! = you don't have to be a Janist to use this fab stuff.
SOME CRUELTY FREE SITES:
Cruelty Free Shopping
The Cruelty Free Shop
Cruelty Free info
Nature's Clock
Check out brands like Green People, Kingfisher, Weleda.
Thanks, Sal!

Thanks for the sites. I used to always use Superdrug instead of Boots (and still do in fact, out of habit) because Superdrug's own products were not tested on animals, but that's no longer guaranteed.  |

I do buy some products which are tested on animals. 
But only catfood.  |

Yes but is it tested on humans to enure its safety? |
