What cosmetics contain animal derived ingredients?

I recently have started a blog, dedicated to the organic lifestyle. I had a Grandfather pass away from CJD (aka: human mad cow disease) so it has touched me, and I have boycotted all unnatural, non-organic products, foods etc. I am having a hard time finding info on which products contain animal ingredients- which ';could'; possible pose a threat to transmit CJD to humans through the skin, nuts, eyes, etc. Thank you :)

Unfortunately, most makeups contain animal ingredients. When putting on lipstick, you are rubbing fish scales across your lips.





There is good news though. You can purchase vegan makeup online. http://www.veganstore.com/cosmetics.html or http://veganessentials.com Hopefully that will make members of your blog happy.

there is a red food dye called carmine that is in some foods and drinks of red or pink item like maybe pink grapefruit juice? (read labels) and in red lipstick...it is made from crushed red bugs..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmine

some cosmetic companies (and cleaning agent companies) also test their products on animals like rabbits (putting stuff in their eyes to see if it ruins their eyes..they can't blink and often go blind from this) and feeding animals noxious substances to see how much it takes to kill them...the ones who don't test at their own companies sometimes pay testing companies to do tests (to avoid getting on a PETA avoid list)

I would say most do, since various ingredients come from the rendering process such as described in various article like this one:
