Re: Dame Anita Roddick - R.I.P
I respected her until she sold out to Lancôme, at which point I added the Body Shop to my boycott list.

Why spend your whole life working on a certain ethos and becoming famous for it only to sell out at the last minute? :confused: She did well though to raise the profile of cosmetics being tested on animals and how wrong and uneccessary it is. |

Ooops, L'Oreal not Lancôme. :o And yes, my thoughts exactly.
Agreed. I have read that Body Shop products are still banned in China, because the Chinese government requires all cosmetics sold in China to be first tested on animals. Ironically, L'Oreal tests its own products on animals... very sad news about anita |

very sad news about anita Some companies do not test the finished product on animals and call themselves cruelty free when in fact the individual ingredients are animal tested. |

L'Oreal has not tested its cosmetics on animals since 1990, but continues to test new ingredients on animals, as required under European law. OK, so it's their ingredients - not their products, But it's still animal testing. |
Re: Dame Anita Roddick - R.I.P

i thought they had stoped all animal testing but i was wrong |

Re: Dame Anita Roddick - R.I.P
If it's under European Law then wouldn't that mean everyone has to do it? :confused:
On a separate point, why are so many people dying at the moment? Usually I have little interest in the obits, but in the space of a week there's been the inspiring cancer marathon lady, pavarotti and the body shop woman. What's happening?! :( |

What's happening?! :( If they hadn't been famous, they would have died anyway but you would not have known about them. It is only your familiarity with them that creates a sense of curious coincidence. In reality, there is no connection whatsoever. |

Re: Dame Anita Roddick - R.I.P
Very sad news. I had the pleasure of spending 4 weeks working as a temp in Hammersmith working with the woman who designed the Body Shops makeup products (can't recall her name cos she was a cow) and met Ms Roddick a couple of times and she was delightful. RIP Anita.
