Is it Vegan? (UK website)

Every country should have a site like the Is It Vegan site in the UK. This site is an extremely useful database that lets you search for UK products to find out whether or not they are vegan. Although it doesn't seem to be a comprehensive list of all products available in the UK, in the very least it is a list of all products that you can count on to be vegan, so you have some useful brand names to look out for, such as Yaoh shampoo, which is safe. It is useful to note that ASDA household cleaning products are not vegan, and anything marked 'McBride' probably isn't either.

On a similar note, the ProefDierVrij website in the Netherlands also has a search function for cosmetics so you can see what brands test on animals or don't test on animals. It's useful for visitors to the Netherlands and residents alike to know that the Etos products as well as the ingredients in their products from alternate suppliers have all NOT been tested on animals. However, there may be some animal-derived ingredients, such as milk products in lotion, so still check the bottles!
