Victoria Secret Unveils Eco-friendly Collection

Brian Yalung — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 02:44:12 +0000

The brand is familiar but the new line is not. But regardless, give it some time and people are expected to go gaga over this new vegan collection called the Pink Body.

The sexy lingerie company is introducing the new line as the product outcome of a tour around the country “speaking to hundreds of girls to figure out what was most important in their lifestyles.” Apparently, organic, vegan, and eco-friendly were high on the list.

“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. With three dermatologist-tested, solution-specific collections, each designed to pamper pink girls from tip to toe: nourishing for dry skin, energizing for dull, sluggish skin and soothing for extra-sensitive skin. Plus, four additional essentials that everyone can use and love. It’s all about finding ways to look good, feel good and do a little good, too.”

Nothing beats taking care of your child the eco-friendly way and that is perhaps what Coastalcutiesgear.com intends to emphasize on. Coastal Cuties Gear, Inc., a producer of natural, organic, and paraben-free baby care products, has gone green’ with it’s recent move to carbon neutral status through Carbonfund.org, and has converted almost its entire line to more eco-friendly packaging, including labels made from FiberStone™, a tree-free, low carbon footprint material made from natural minerals.

Coastal Cuties baby and toddler care products were developed due to feedback from the mother’s group that Andrea Salisbury founded in 2006 called Coastal Cuties, she listened to her moms’ feedback on what was important to them and then started working on a product line that she could introduce to the group and to other moms.

Roots Skin and Haircare

Brian Yalung — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 17:37:27 +0000

People with dry skin can rejoice as Root Skin has a great package you can check out to address the problem. A lot of us, both men and women, have our encounters with rough skin drying and apparently the best way to treat them is through products that have been naturally produced, with factors of eco-friendly proportions included.

In this case, the Rootsskin collection with eco-friendly natural ingredients like pure olive oil, cocoa butter, beeswax and virgin coconut oil is created by “cold process,” which in laywoman’s terms means the journey from raw material to finished product uses the least amount of heat possible and no harsh chemicals, helping to maintain all that natural goodness.

Eco-Friendly Beauty Is Natural Beauty

Brian Yalung — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 16:16:58 +0000

Saving our bodies from the various chemicals and toxins used in producing beauty products is apparent and while many choose to ignore it to this day, there is something more to looking great and it includes applying natural beauty towards our skin and body parts. For most seasoned women, eco-friendly means using natural and organic resources as fat as the product and its accessories are concerned. Perhaps that wisdom should be passed on so that up and coming women may have an inkling of what they are dealing with.

“There’s also the perception that these products are more expensive, even though that’s not necessarily true. They see that in other categories like food, the price of organic products is sometimes 25% to 50% more than regular products and they think that’s the case with beauty.”

One thing holding people back from turning to eco-friendly beauty products is price. Weigh out how much it costs over the cheaper ones. Also, take a look at their composition. You may be shortchanged by these companies, something that natural and organic based products promise to provide you with any catch.

Eco Friendly Make Up Brushes

David Allen — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 13:00:59 +0000

There is a lot of eco friendly make up around at the moment, but there is a lack of eco friendly brushes and accessories available. However, thanks to Eco Tools, there is a choice now and these brushes are not going to cost the earth either.

All of these tools have been made from both sustainable and recycled materials, many have handles that are made from bamboo and the metal used is from recycled aluminium cans. Nevertheless, it does not stop there Eco Tools use recycled plastics and fabric to complete the green feel to all of the products that the company produce.

Better Eco-Friendly Skin Care with H. Maloha

Brian Yalung — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 18:19:50 +0000

There has to be a reason why this Hawaii-based skin care company would be invited to the Emmys and apparently this has something to do with their bionutrient face serum which came in gift bags.

Actually, this was the same company that had distributed the same products during the 2008 MTV Movie Awards last June and owing to the fact that celebrities want the best solutions for their skin care needs.

H. Maloha’s breakthrough serum uses natural and organic ingredients in its serum, containing 29 botanicals, vitamins and antioxidants. The manufacturing of the serum is eco-friendly and it does not use animals in the testing of its product. The serum is 100% paraben free and contains no harsh chemicals, mineral oils, fragrances or other color additives that may harm the skin.

Brian Yalung — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 05:19:44 +0000

Eco-Friendly Make-up Brushes

Brian Yalung — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 02:15:41 +0000

You have been reading a lot of eco-friendly cosmetics and make-up here at Keetsa and to perhaps complement them, here are some eco-friendly based brushes that will certainly help people in applying them.

To most, the use of brushes or accessories to have these latest eco-fad make-up may not have a bearing. But considering that you have shown interest in being eco-friendly, the least you can do is to go green all the way from the beauty products all the way to the actual tools you need to apply them.

With this six piece makeup brush set I can now apply my makeup guilt free. The handles are made from bamboo and recycled aluminum, the bristles from 100% cruelty free synthetic taklon, and the brush holder from natural cotton and hemp. I think Mother Nature would approve.

Natural Personal Care Products Business Flourishing

Brian Yalung — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 01:28:54 +0000

While many see that times are hard, it does not stop them from looking good. But while personal care products are apparently still in demand (and rising), the eco-friendly duties in categorizing and choosing the proper natural personal care products is one of the reasons why cosmetic products that thrive on organic and natural resources are becoming a hit these days.

So as far as being deprived of things like travel and functions, personal appearance through the help of these personal care products is still a big must. It should not be any surprise why demand for eco-friendly personal care products are rising and booming.

A combination of eco-awareness and concern about synthetic ingredients is spurring rapid growth in the natural personal-care industry, which is growing five times faster than the plain ol’ personal-care industry, according to the Natural Products Association. Some attribute the growth to an aging baby-boomer population drawn to “natural” products; others say consumers unable to afford a vacation or new car opt for smaller indulgences.

Aloe Vera Biodegradable Liquid Body Cleanser from Brad Pitt

Brian Yalung — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 16:19:24 +0000

It looks like Brad Pitt is dead serious in contributing towards the eco-friendly awareness efforts these days. He has added a new product endorsement to the fold, the Aloe Vera Biodegradable Liquid Body Cleanser, a venture to which he has partnered with cosmetics firm Kiehl.

The eco-friendly body wash will be priced at $16.95 to which the proceeds will be given to the JPF Eco Systems, a foundation created to support global environment initiatives that minimize the impact of products on the environment through well planned eco designs.

Aloe Vera Biodegradable Liquid Body Cleanser reportedly doesn’t contain parabens, sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate or dyes. It instead boasts such natural ingredients, as aloe vera, coconut-derived cleansers and glycerin. The product is put in a food-grade, post-consumer recycled bottle. The body wash will be put on sale online and at Kiehl’s counters in department stores and boutiques starting from this coming October.

Websites for the Toxic-Free Cosmetics

Brian Yalung — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 00:45:05 +0000

People these days, particularly the women, are sure to be looking for alternatives to the usual stuff they would need for beauty and skin care to store in their medicine cabinets. While checking out the contents and ingredients made to produce various cosmetic products such as lipstick and nail polish is a good manner to control these things, it simply remains that you need further information to avoid the toxins and chemicals that such products provide.

Fortunately, there are some groups that can help you in determining the level of toxic content (if any) and the products you should endorse and check out.

Luckily, Web sites such as the Environmental Working Group’s cosmetic safety database Skin Deep and PristinePlanet.com have done much of the work for you. On Skin Deep, the Environmental Working Group has compiled information on ingredients in thousands of personal-care products and matched them against data in more than 50 toxicity and regulatory databases. Based on the results, each product is given its own “hazard” score. Pristine Planet, which grew its traffic from 50,000 to 100,000 shoppers over the past year, lets consumers browse, compare and review sustainable companies’ products, including price points, says Catherine Finn, owner and co-founder.

Even Cosmetics Have Become Green

Brian Yalung — Fri, 23 May 2008 02:15:15 +0000

Don’t look now but even the cosmetic companies have joined the mix as far as providing eco-friendly products for the wiser green consumers today. Much of the world today has been awed by these events of companies turning green.

It is not really about money but more of giving in to what consumers need and how to adopt the green standards that have been evidently clamored for by people who want to do their own part for the world’s environmental improvement.

“We’ve been seeing the ‘green’ movement everywhere,” said Taya Tomasello, Mintel’s senior beauty analyst. “It’s now moving over to beauty and personal care. [Consumers] were asking for it and manufacturers are responding.”

The most common claim made by marketers of beauty products in the U.S. is that they’re cruelty-free. About 1,600 products were introduced with such a claim last year, per Mintel, London.
