Thanks for posting. I think I am gonna make some cleaning supplies from basic stuff like baking soda,etc. I hate using chemicals. I wear makeup and so I need to find something that is not tested on animals and not harmful (not sure if that exists) OR I just gotta give up makeup (don’t wanna do that…hehe).
Clinique, Jane, Mary Kay, Urban Decay, Bobby Brown, M.A.C, and Estee Lauder. They’re all on the PETA “No Test” List.
caringconsumer.com is a great site to take a look at
Homemade Elbow Grease You can make nontoxic, cruelty-free cleansers from just a few ingredients that you probably already have lying around the house. All-Purpose Cleaner: 1 part distilled white vinegar, 1 part water, and a few drops dishwashing liquid Bleach: Hydrogen peroxide or borax and water Carpet Shampoo: 1/4 cup mild detergent or soap, 1 pint warm water, and 2 Tbsp. distilled white vinegar Deodorizer: Baking soda and/or borax Disinfectant: 1/2 cup borax and 1 gallon hot water Drain Cleaner: 1/2 cup baking soda and 1/2 cup white wine vinegar (let sit for a few minutes, then follow with a pot of boiling water) Floor Cleaner: 1/4 cup distilled white vinegar and 1/2 gallon water Furniture Polish: 1 part white distilled vinegar and 3 parts olive oil, with a dash of natural lemon oil Glass Cleaner: Club soda Oven Cleaner: Ammonia (set a shallow pan in the oven and let stand overnight) Rust Remover: Salt and lime juice (let stand for several hours) Tub and Tile Cleaner: 1 2/3 cups baking soda, 1/2 cup liquid soap, 1/2 cup water, and 2 Tbsp. vinegar
Whole Foods has a really nice mineral makeup called Gabriel that I really like. The ingredients are all natural, and they are cruelty free.
Nvey Eco is an all organic makeup line and has absolutely amazing makeup. Their creme deluxe foundation is actually better than any foundation I have ever tried, chemical or not, and is full coverage. It successfully covers my acne! It is the first I have come across that I feel is legitimately safe. But it is extremely expensive, $60 for the foundation alone. Juice Beauty is what I use for skin care and is also very effective and safe. All organic, no parabens, chemicals, etc… but is also a little bit on the expensive side with cleaners ranging around $20-$25. Most of their products revolve around fruit enzymes for their bases. Juice Beauty also makes a less expensive line called Juice Organics which they sell at Target and the only difference is the antioxidants are not included and the fruit enzymes are not as potent but honestly I have tried both and it really does not make all that much of a difference.
Hope this helps :) I have only been completely raw for about 4 months but hopefully this diet will help clear up my skin so I won’t have to use all those darn beauty products!
I work for MAC and we used to have a cruelty free label on all of our products (i dont know why we took it off) ... But I can tell you that they are 100% cruelty free!
