This book reveals how the beauty industry profits from harming animals in ways many consumers would not expect. Whether young readers are interested in veganism and what it means to live cruelty-free broadly, or about the beauty industry specifically, these eye-opening explanations will encourage them to think critically about the choices they make as a consumer, and the ethical impact of something as simple as choosing a shampoo.
