Good day! You some type of expert? Nice message. Are you able to tell me how one can subscribe your blog?
I created it for a friends daughter to allow her to make informed choices about the make-up she used. Prior to this app she was carring around nearly 30 A4 sheets of paper with the animal friendly list on it. I’m glad you like it.
Expert? No. The information in uCare / iCare was gathered from reputable animal welfare groups.
You can subscribe to our very rare newsletter on the front page, Right hand side panel at the top.
Thank you- a very handy app. My daughter, too, is keen on making an informed choice re: make-up. Much easier than carrying around a wad of paper OR than trying to read the (often non-existent) fine print on the products.
This is cool!
