As you may already know, Burt’s Bees does not test their products on animals, hurray! Unfortunately, their parent company does engage in animal testing. I bought their pomegranate night cream a few months ago (sadly it is one of the few products that I currently have that was not tested on animals). I didn’t use it much for a while because it is very sticky and doesn’t seem to absorb well.
However since it is not tested on animals, I thought I would make a greater effort to use it consistently to see how I liked it after long term use. I have been using it every night for about three weeks, and I have to say I am not a big fan of this cream. It is very sticky as I mentioned before. On first application, it is sticky to the touch. I mean sticky! In the morning, I don’t notice it, but I have a feeling it is just getting rubbed off onto my pillow, and not into my skin.

Also I think it may be causing some mild skin irritation. Pomegranate is reputed to have regenerative benefits for your skin, however I have not personally noticed any improvement from this product. Additionally, it has an odd smell, kind of sweet and pungent, of which I am not a fan. Anyway, to make a long story short, I will be looking for an different, cruelty free, night cream.
Do you have a favorite cruelty free night cream? I am looking for something fairly moisturizing, but not greasy. Let me know what products you love!
