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.

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.

PETA has unveiled its latest ad against animal testing.

Layla Kayleigh, the star of MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew, is asking you to think before buying lipstick or mascara that may have been worn on a rabbit or rat first.

“I don’t think people are purposely buying cosmetics and household products that are tested on animals. I just don’t think they think twice. … It really takes such a small thing to make such big impact, you know, and I feel like the more people get involved, the more it can make a difference.”

Check to see that your makeup is cruelty-free at caringconsumer.com.

When on the road or anytime between hand washing, it’s nice to have waterless sanitizer on hand.

But most brands of sanitizer contain unhealthy added ingredients that aren’t good for people or the environment. Not to mention made by companies that may have tested the product on animals.

Frais Luxury products has all natural, vegan hand sanitizers that are free of everything a veg who’s concerned about hygiene could ask for: parabens, propylene glycol, and other unnatural chemicals. And absolutely no animal testing. Plus, Frais is PETA certified as a cruelty-free vegan cosmetic company.

Reportedly, celebs like Carrie Underwood, Kelly Ripa, America Ferrera, and Britney Spears have all scrubbed their hands clean with Frais’ products and liked the results.

Using sugarcane alcohol as the main ingredient, Frais then adds all the smelly stuff like tangerine and ginger that will keep you sniffing yourself minutes after you apply.

Just try to avoid doing this for too long in public.

Ethical beauty product consumers have long known about specialty brands like Aubrey Organics, that pledge to not use animal ingredients and do not contain dangerous chemicals.

But mainstream companies are catching on that beauty really is more than skin deep-all those toxins in some cosmetics are being absorbed into our systems and some studies show cause all sorts of maladies from skin irritation to cancer.

From the Victoria’s Secret Press Release:

INTRODUCING PINK BODY, a unique line of skin-loving and earth-friendly products created specifically for the pink girl. She spoke. We listened. The result? A more personalized approach to everyday body care using organic and vegan ingredients, powerful natural formulas and eco-friendly packaging.

Victoria’s Secret PINK collection features 100% natural, organic, vegan ingredients such as oatmeal, citrus, mint, coffee beans and soy milk. And absolutely no animal testing. 

Coffee beans? Soy Milk? Sounds delicious, we know, but the products are only meant to be applied externally. Sorry. 

The collection features four categories: Energizing, Nourishing, Soothing, and Essentials for dull, dry, sensitive skin, and everyday needs that any beauty type can use.

While this of course isn’t your $2 tube of lip balm, prices are reasonable, from $8 for lip butter to $15 for energizing body lotion.

Check out the entire collection of Victoria Secret’s PINK Body and shop for the vegan product that suits your skin best.
