    Your Makeup May Have Blood in It — What the Beauty Industry Doesn’t Want You to Know

    If beauty had a price, would you let animals pay for it? 🐰🌿In our first-of-its-kind episode, Roxy finally gets to expose the harsh reality of animal testing in the beauty industry. Locked in cages, subjected to painful experiments, all for products we use every day. From the infamous Draize eye test to the torturous LD50, @shreyaghodawat and Roxy uncover the truth behind “humane testing” and why it’s nothing more than a myth.But there’s more. They break down the difference between cruelty-free and vegan products, the shocking scale of global animal testing, and why even some “natural” and “organic” brands aren’t as ethical as they claim. Are small brands cruelty-free? Does animal testing even make products safer for humans? With over 100 million animals suffering every year, millions for cosmetics alone, it’s time to rethink the industry.And here’s the real game-changer: if we stop buying, they stop testing. This isn’t just another beauty discussion, it’s a movement. Listen in, learn, and take action.
