Hi,
I would have thought mischa knows better than to be the face of herbal essences, there sick and inhumane cruelty on animals for the testing of there shampoos makes my skin crawl.

That’s not entirely correct. To my knowledge, Herbal Essences as a finished product is not tested on animals. Procter & Gamble (HRs parent company) does however test raw chemicals on animals to obtain certain ingredients for all their products.
It is unfortunate that alternative methods aren’t being used for whatever reason but a vast array of leading mainstream brands continue to feature some ingredients still tested on rodents.
Some of these brands include: Maybelline, Rimmel, Covergirl, Max Factor, Lancome, Biotherm, Colgate, Crest, Palmolive, Dove, Veet, Nair, Neutrogena, L’Oreal, Garnier, Clairol, Ponds, Johnson & Johnsn, Ralph Lauren fragrances, Gillette, Giorgio Armani, Glade, Head & Shoulders etc. etc.
If you’re able to avoid all these brands when shopping at the supermarket, that’s great. But I’m sure Mischa, like a lot of other people, takes a product at face value. It’s difficult to avoid things like this when convenience and price point are such a driving factor in the economy. It’s not ideal, but it’s also not a sinister personality flaw.
