Big Data: Cruelty-Free Makeup

About the Project

This project investigates the accessibility of cruelty-free makeup on top cosmetic and beauty websites and compares the brands on these websites against cruelty-free product databases. By comparing the cruelty-free products from verified cosmetic brands with the total number of brands listed on cruelty-free websites, this project aims to evaluate the accuracy of cruelty-free databases. In order to conduct this research, web scraping was required to collect data from databases such as PETA and Logical Harmony. This data was then cross-referenced with information from popular cosmetic and beauty websites.
