I found that Martha Hill, my favorite cosmetic brand for more than four years, stopped sending their products to overseas. (They are British company.) I was shocked because I've been relying most of my cosmetics including shampoo on MH and had no idea what to substitute for. They should be good for my skin and hair, not animal tested, not contain animal ingredients. In Japan, there are many "natural" cosmetics but generally, they never mention whether they are animal tested. I felt so anxious, almost unreasonably, and thought I should get something as soon as possible. Maybe I'd have chances in Ginza, I wondered. I knew that there are a couple of drug stores that sell imported cosmetics. At the first store, most of the space was packed with chocolates for St. Valentine's Day and I only found Aubrey. Unfortunately their products don't work great to me so I went for next one. What I saw was that the store was closed. I was desperate and the last chance I could get alternatives on that day was to go to Body Shop. They are not bad, at least, only if the fragrances are too strong. The good thing was they have a variety of range from cosmetics to shampoo and body soap so I could get all the the necessary things at once. Now I think that I should explore vegan cosmetics in Japan besides vegan foods here. A long way to go!
