EcoStiletto.com's One-Year Anniversary Party - Arrivals

Rachelle Carson Begley is talking about a new line of earth friendly skincare products.

Bella Vé Natural Skin Care products contain ingredients found in nature like aloe vera and are described as “chemical and cruelty-free” on its website.

Cruelty-free can have different meanings, from the finished product not being tested on animals to containing no animal ingredients at all, and it’s not clear from the site what definition Bella Vé uses.

A few of the ingredients listed in the cleansers, toners and moisturizers (which can be checked against an animal ingredient database) can be obtain from animals or available in synthetic, such as urea, allantoin and glycerin.

Depending on your level of ethics, more investigation may be needed.

“I was excited to finally find a skin care line that nourishes, hydrates and fights aging, all while fitting into my active and ‘green’ lifestyle. When I first started using Bella Vé products, I immediately noticed a difference in the texture, fine lines, and firmness of my skin. Bella Vé products have truly made a difference in my skin, while also saving me time in my daily routine. I highly recommend them to everyone.”

Bella Vé bottles and jars are also recyclable.

Josie Maran Natural Beauty Products

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, April 21st, 2010 in Cosmetics And Beauty Products, Models.

7th Annual Global Green USA Pre-Oscar Party

Josie Maran has her own line of cosmetics that are sourced from natural ingredients and are not tested on animals.

Maran was the face of Maybeline for a decade and soon realized she was more than just a pretty face for the cosmetic industry–she was an entrepreneur as well.

Launched in 2006, the products she prides on being free of toxic ingredients such as parabens and petrochemicals are being demanded by celebrity make up artists that do work for stars like Megan Fox.

The model who tries to eat organic and vegetarian as much as possible made a list of things never to put in her eyeliner, lipstick and blush and stuck with it.

“I have a no-no list and I aim to make my products as natural and organic as possible,” Maran told The Daily Green. “Everything has to be nontoxic. We have no parabens, no petrochemicals. We’re always reformulating. My goal is to make products nontoxic and healthy. You have to be realistic about getting high performing makeup. There are chemicals that aren’t toxic. We’ve put them together in a new way that’s not toxic. You have to ask a a lot of questions of the lab. And we’re doing as much research into the ingredients as possible and reformulating when things aren’t as good as they could be.”

Maran says when it comes to ingredients, less is more.

If you’re spending your entire lunch hour reading the bottle at the drug store, you should probably leave it on the shelf.

Stephanie Pratt only wears faux fur and doesn’t use cosmetics that are tested on animals.

Perhaps that’s why she chose to be the cover girl for PETA’s iphone application, Be Nice To Bunnies, that lets you search for cruelty-free cosmetics.

“I think it’s really important for people to be informed consumers,” Pratt says in the video.

“Animal testing is not a required law.”

Not to mention the fact the results found in animals don’t always apply to humans, resulting in undiscovered side effects in people.

Watch the clip to hear Stephanie explain more.

Stephanie Pratt "Be Nice To Bunnies " PETA iphone app Ad

Stephanie Pratt has hopped out of her clothes to draw attention to the very important cause of using cruelty-free cosmetics.

Stephanie has joined forces with PETA to bring you an iphone application that is hooked up with the animal rights organization’s database of cruelty-free products.

The app allows you to search by manufacturer, brand or product category.

According to Starpulse, Stephanie’s full ad was deemed too racy (imagine!) to put on the iphone app, so PETA is using the clothed image of The Hills star for it.

More from Starpulse:

“Some companies, such as Clorox and Unilever, still test their personal-care and household products on animals despite the availability of more sophisticated methods. No law requires that products be tested on animals, and the results of such testing cannot be reliably applied to humans.”

The app is available for $1.99 and more information can be found at itunes.

Stella McCartney has launched a new perfume, Stella Sheer.

According to nstperfume, Stella Sheer is a limited edition, lighter version of a perfume launched in 2003.

Not only does the name sound pretty, but you can rest assure vegetarian Stella would never put any animal ingredients into her scents, like that musk scent extracted from deer or civets.

Thank goodness it doesn’t smell like a wild animal either, as Sugarscape reports the scent to be mixture of “organic rose with sparkling fruit, delicate floral and soothing amber.”

Tara Smith Hair Products Launch

Celebrity stylist Tara Smith has launched a line of vegan hair care products in the United States.

The Tara Smith Hair Care Range kicked off a cocktail party with Donna Karan yesterday in New York City.

Besides being free of animal derivatives, the products are also free of parabens, sodium laureth sulphates, glycols, artificial coloring and synthetic fragrances, big no-nos from the Cosmetic Database list due to their possible allergic and other health reactions.

“I think people shouldn’t be nervous and they have to understand that it’s going to feel different because the products don’t contain all of those harsh chemicals,” Smith said of the products, which range from $5.95-$9.95.

Smith has styled locks of celebrities like Demi Moore and the actresses of Sex and the City.

She studied for two years with Dr. Roger Barr, a chemist who lent his knowledge to other animal and earth friendly companies like The Body Shop.

Already a favorite in the UK, the Tara Smith Hair Care range has the slogan, “Tested on film stars, not on animals.”

Jessica Simpson Marie Claire

Jessica Simpson Marie Claire

Jessica Simpson is the cover girl for the May 2010 issue of Marie Claire magazine and the inside of the publication is filled with more pictures of Jessica totally bare–without makeup, that is.

Jessica is doing so to promote her program, “A Beautiful Me,” something that is designed to make women feel more comfortable with who they are.

Being comfortable in your own skin might be a wise choice for animals as well.

Although plenty of synthetic and non animal derived ingredients exist in the cosmetic world, many companies still use animal products, like pearl essence obtained from fish scales used to make lipstick glossy or dyes derived from insects.

For the times you want to put on your face, the leaping bunny logo is one to look for, as it denotes the product follows standards set by the Corporate Standard of Compassion for Animals, developed by the Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics, a coalition of animal protection groups, including the Humane Society of the United States and other animal protection groups in Europe and Canada.

Don’t forget your handy list of animal ingredients and try to stay with certified vegan products.
