The ultimate in ethical beauty: buy natural, animal friendly cosmetics products and help charities too.
If you'd like to sleep even easier at night, and take your ethical beauty purchases one step further, then this post is for you. There are a number of ethical beauty companies out there donating a portion of proceeds from the sale of various products to charity. Indeed, Cosmopolitan has even run a feature on the phenomenon, illustrating that the idea is catching on in the mainstream.
There are a number of causes and companies out there to choose from. Dr Hauschka donates proceeds from sales of its Minnie Driver Limited Edition Beauty Box to Trade Plus Aid, an organisation working to alleviate poverty, and proceeds from sales of its Lady Shakira Caine Limited Edition Beauty Box to Anti-Slavery International. Green People supports holistic cancer care trust Penny Brohn Cancer Care by giving them 10% of their net profits each year. PETA-approved MAC cosmetics channel the entire proceeds of sales of Mac Viva Glam lipstick into their MAC Aids Fund. Lush donates proceeds from sales of its Charity Pot to a number of different charities, which are listed here. The Body Shop sells a Stop Violence in the Home campaign lip gloss, with proceeds going to local campaign partners.
