Justin Bieber may not wear nail polish, but that doesn’t stop him from cashing in on the millions of adolescent girls who’ll be painting their fingers shades of lavender, grape, silver, dark blue, bright red and glitter come this Holiday season.

OPI "Pink of Hearts"

OPI "Pink of Hearts"

OPI, a nail lacquer company that does not test on animals, created a pink polish in 2007 to be promoted during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October every year. This year, according to App.com, the company made a $25,000 donation to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

Besides being cruelty-free, (with some OPI polishes rumored to be vegan), the company has taken steps to make its products greener over the years.

Beginning in 2006, OPI started to reformulate its Nail Lacquers, Nail Treatments, and Nail Hardeners to remove the DBP (dibutyl phthalate) and Toluene. According to Safecosmetics.org, these 2 chemicals have functional and aesthetic uses, but have been shown to be toxic to humans.

“Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) adds flexibility and a moisturizing sheen, and helps dissolve other cosmetic ingredients. DBP is a reproductive and developmental toxin that has been linked to feminizing effects in baby boys.”

Vegan hater Anthony Bourdain once said it was rude to eat vegetarian while traveling, but the British gals Fearne Cotton and Alexandra Burke are willing to forgo manners by refusing to eat animals given to them by locals in Peru.

The two stars have laced up their hiking boots to walk along the country’s Inca trail to raise money and awareness for breast cancer. The trail is one of the most famous in the world, spanning 26 miles, passing through mountains, forests, jungles and ending at Machu Picchu, the “lost city of the Incas.”

A local mayor presented the two with guinea pigs and then invited them to the event where the animals would be skinned and roasted and eaten.

Modern Family star Sarah Hyland shares her thoughts with Peta2 on animal testing, dissection and adoption.

“I feel like companies that still test on animals should either be shut-down or all just arrested because there are companies that don’t test on animals. If there’s one company that doesn’t do it and 5 that do, I don’t understand why those 5 can’t follow the same path as that one.”

The American Anti-Vivisection Society has a page that lists companies that are cruelty-free, where you may look up some popular brands you may use, such as Burt’s Bees, Giovanni Cosmetics and Alba Botanica.

Cloris Leachman says being vegetarian is so great for her body scent, not even the stress from the camera spotlight gives her a need to wipe under the armpits.

“If you don’t eat meat, you don’t smell… I don’t ever wear a deodorant,” Leachman said.

Whoa, there, Cloris. Did your Dancing with the Stars partner agree that carrots did that part of the body good?

So there is at least one study showing the female species enjoyed the sweat from the vegetarian male armpits more than a meat eater’s.

And mainstream deodorants may be tested on animals and contain ingredients that are sourced from animals or that are harmful to humans and the environment. But that doesn’t mean you have to adhere to the granola eating, no deodorant (and maybe even hairy armpit) stereotype.
