Women in Australia are increasingly prioritising ‘cruelty-free’ when buying cosmetics, according to a new survey by market research analyst Roy Morgan Research.
The analyst found that 46% of respondents said that cruelty-free was a key consideration, up from 41% in 2012; Cruelty-free beauty is the fastest-growing category for consideration.
“The latest data show a striking increase over the last five years in Australian women’s awareness of animal testing when buying cosmetics and skin care products,” said Norman Morris, Industry Communications Director at Roy Morgan.
