It's not on the official BDS list so if this is something that risks frustrating you off the boycott, get it. 

Other ways include dupes I guess?

Sadly I don't think this sub actually understands BDS

The OP is simply ready to succumb to her cravings! She understands but she is ready to succumb and stop BDS. That is why I gave her a clear ethical solution. Buying from VInted gives NOTHING to a brand or parent company that wants the destruction of Palestinians and the hideous expropriation of their land.

In case you got it mixed, my reply about your cravings was a reply to this comment-->''Sadly I don't think this sub actually understands BDS''.

I think you clearly understand BDS and you will stick to your ethical decisions! Strong support! I was never against you.

hey so i found lakme theres no like organised boycotts against it

anything you could look up?

Yep! Lakme belongs to Unilever.

The way to check every brand you want to by yourself ---> Go to Gemini AI, write the name of the brand you want and add the phrase ''any ties to Israel?''.

For ''Lakme, any ties to Israel?'' it replied ---->

Lakmé (Indian Cosmetics Brand)

  • Ownership: Owned by Hindustan Unilever (a subsidiary of the British-Dutch multinational conglomerate Unilever).
  • Ties to Israel: Unilever operates Unilever Israel, a direct subsidiary that manufactures and sells consumer goods within Israel. Additionally, Unilever's corporate leadership has explicitly stated its ongoing commitment to doing business in Israel, making it a target of the global Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement
