Advocacy Work

She once said during one of many interviews , “I love animals too much to torture them for my own vanity or any other reason.”
One of the main reasons why Olivia advocates for cruelty-free beauty products is because they’re better for our health than traditional beauty products which are often filled with harmful chemicals that can cause harm to our skin over time.
Furthermore using these types of products can help save animals lives by reducing the demand for those who use animal testing methods on their products which will eventually force them out of business making it easier for cruelty-free brands to thrive.
