      I Dont think it has animals in it but am not sure. most creams are emulsions which contain oils and waters.
      I think the main problem with makeup and animals is when they test the makeup on animals.
      Fortunately most companies dont do this anymore and if you look on the label you can find out if they do

      Hi, had to research this one happy I did. Yes u can find a lot animals in your make up crush beattles are often use in lipstick, fish scale in mascara, snail ooze in moisturizer… However couldn’t know if you can find those in beauty product in the UK but guess if you want to make sure there is not try to find vegetarian product.

      Not really my area of expertise 😉 But a quick Google search came up with the the same info as Julie did. And I was surprised that at what is different make up. Just need to tell my daughter now.
