Former Pussycat Dolls member Kimberly Wyatt has joined a group of celebrities and cosmetics companies that do not test on animals in a campaign with the British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection (BUAV) to end the sale of cosmetics in the European Union that have been tested on animals.

In 2003, the European Union passed a ban on using animals to test cosmetics that began in 2009. A complete ban of the sales of these animal-tested cosmetics is set for 2013, but some officials would like to extend that deadline.

Wyatt also has her own make-up range that is not tested on animals.

“My make-up range BM Beauty is approved free from animal testing by BUAV proving that there is no need to test beauty products on animals. Don’t delay the ban on selling cruel beauty products in the EU any longer. Say NO to Cruel Cosmetics.”

Pop star Rihanna has partnered with Parlux Fragrances to unveil a scent with her name behind the brand, Reb’l Fleur.

According to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Parlux signed a statement in 1995 that it would not conduct or pay others to conduct tests on animals. Some animal tests, such as the Draize eye test, which involves smearing a substance in rabbit’s eye, obviously involve pain to the animal. And in some cases, results aren’t predictive of what can happen in human tissue.

Reb’l Fleur comes in Eau de Parfum sprays and body lotion.

Hair:
“I love Original Sprout because it is not tested on animals, is totally vegan, and completely natural. I also use some L’Anza products which according to the PETA website, aren’t tested on animals either. I used to use Redken, which makes a lot of beauty products, but have since discontinued as soon as I found out that they do practice animal testing. Such a shame. I hope they stop. (Vegetarian Star note: Original Sprout not only happens to be vegan and cruelty-free, it also produces a line of hair products suitable for maintaining and caring for African-American textured hair.)

Face and Teeth:
“My secret beauty ingredient is baking soda. It’s so inexpensive and works so well on so many different areas. I add it into my face wash for a great exfoliating agent and also dip my toothbrush into it while brushing my teeth to help keep them white. And, it’s gentle enough that I can do both of these things twice a day and it’s not too harsh.”

—Hayley Marie Norman, “CSI: Miami” actress, sharing her vegan and natural ways to keep her Hollywood hair and smile with This Dish Is Veg.

Cover Girl is cleaning up its act.

It claims to no longer test its products on animals and now, it has unveiled a sister line of products touted as natural and green to be promoted in ads by Taylor Swift, reports Stylelist.

Cover Girl Natureluxe introduced its Silk Foundation and Gloss Balm first, both of which contain plant-based ingredients like jojoba oil, rosehip extracts, cucumber water, mango and shea butter. Natureluxe contains no parabens. It’s also using bioresin–a renewable, sustainable, sugarcane-derived plastic–for its packaging.

But we know a few ingredients that come from the ground or trees doesn’t make it completely eco-friendly. So how does Natureluxe stack up in terms of other items added to the formulas?
