Yes Lakmi was one of the first targeted for animal testing. As for skin moisturising, A little bit of coconut oil, at night for the dired up portions of feet and hands helps to replinish the oil loss in the body.Thought Roomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05520315758863576077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123689684509240568.post-11865235689976671492008-05-06T15:27:00.000+05:302008-05-06T15:27:00.000+05:30I know we have all used Lakme.

Lakme, as a brand by Hindustan Unilever Ltd, (HUL) also tests on animals.<BR/>Wikipedia says: Some of its brands include Lifebuoy, Lux, Breeze, Liril, Rexona, Hamam, Moti soaps, Pepsodent and Close Up toothpaste, and Surf, Rin and Wheel laundry detergents, Pond's talcs and creams, Vaseline lotions, Fair & Lovely creams, Lakmé beauty products, Clinic Plus, Clinic All Clear, Sunsilk and Dove shampoos, Vim dishwash, Ala bleach and Domex isinfectant.Rexona and Axe deosprays. <BR/><BR/>What's left? Fortunately we have Biotique, Revlon, Oriflmae, Vicco, VLCC (not sure about his one), Lotus...and many more.

Those, even in the minuscle quantities they are in cosmetics , are dangerous.
