From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

These are my recommendations for the article - Cruelty Free Article

I have added another fact to the history portion of the article because I feel as if the history portion is too short & could offer more Information.

Copied content from: Cruelty-free


The term cruelty-free was first used in this way by Lady Dowding who persuaded manufacturers of fake furs to use the label Beauty Without Cruelty and went on to found the charity Beauty Without Cruelty in 1959.[1] The term was popularised in the US in the 1970s by Marcia Pearson who founded the group Fashion With Compassion.[2] Then, in 1998, the United Kingdom started a trend by banning all testing on animals. Many other countries followed their lead soon after.[3]
