Beauty Brands to Boycott
It can be difficult to decide what to say when horrifyingly tragic events take place; in my case, I suffer no such concern. And before I lead you down a path of utter confusion, I am referring to the most recent eruption of ethnic cleansing of Palestinians by Israel.
Whilst I hold my own political views about Palestine and the ongoing situation with its neighbour, it is apparent to me that the biggest difference I can make as a consumer, is to avoid businesses which profit from the occupation of Palestine, and therefore profit from human rights abuses.
As an avid beauty product consumer, one of the main areas I can pay attention to is beauty products. I have therefore attempted to compile a list of brands which either: directly profit from Israeli occupation, are owned by companies which profit from the Israeli occupation, are directly or indirectly in support of the Israeli occupation, or brands which decided that when faced with the horror of the human rights abuses against Palestinians, the best thing to do is to discuss anti-semitism and entirely erase any mention of Palestinians whatsoever.
Please be aware that this is not an exhaustive list by any means, I am sure there are many others but this is a list that I managed to pull together.
