We are a group of cosmetic scientists who understand what the chemicals used in cosmetics really do, how products are tested, and what all the advertising means.

Not hard to understand. I don't know anyone that is grossed out by animal products in cosmetics that is ok eating any and all animal by-products as you assume. Also, you are making a BOLD BOLD statement by implying that milk is taken from the animal without harming it - could you elaborate on that for all the people who actually beleive what you say? Apparently you have lots and lots to learn about the dairy industry.

Did you read this on the website somewhere? I think not...the products are simply certified vegan. Do you look down on this? It sounds like an individual consultant made an exaggeration. "Blogs" like this loose credibility when they bad mouth companies and have no facts to back it up.

And that's just from one week at one store. Why shouldn't people make use of it?
