Celebrity stylist Chaz Dean was recently honored with an “Angel on the Path” award by the HollyRod Foundation, which provides support to those living with autism and Parkinson’s disease.

Dean is the creator of WEN hair products, a line touted to be free of animal ingredients, all natural and eco-friendly. Well, almost.

Although many of Dean’s products contain ingredients like plant extracts and do not contain sulfates, some of his products contains questionable items like propylene glycol and propylparaben, which have been suggested to cause skin irritation and be an endocrine disruptor, respectively.

Dean is involved with many charities besides HollyRod, including Best Friends Animal Society and Global Green.

Christopher Drummond Organic Lip Gloss

Christopher Drummond is a celebrity makeup artist who’s prettied the faces of people like Jennifer Lopez and Kimora Lee Simmons. His line of lipsticks, concealor and other cosmetics (including a set for men) are free of known toxic ingredients, not tested on animals and vegan. He even opted not to use animal hair in makeup brushes, stating, “a lot of women are allergic to animal hair brushes. They think it’s the makeup, but it’s the brush.”

Thank goodness for Drummond’s natural approach, because a non-toxic lipstick may be hard to find as an FDA study found lead, a neurotoxin, on 22 very popular brands of lip colors.
