Proctor and Gamble
Proctor and Gamble continue to fund animal experiments and Uncaged have run a very successful campaign to boycott Herbal Essences shampoo since it was discovered that P and G had sacrificed hundreds of pregnant rats and their offspring to test a chemical ingredient in their Herbal Essences range of shampoos and conditioners.
The animals were force fed high doses of the chemical which has already been approved for use in beauty products. They were then asphyxiated in a carbon dioxide gas chamber, a painful and terrifying death. The unborn babies which survived the gas chamber were then killed and dismembered. The chemical being tested was butylparaben, a preservative that has been in use for many years and therefore there was no legal need to test it at all.
