After ten years trialling beauty products, Marisa founded Wild & Cruelty Free - an online boutique featuring a carefully curated collection of tried and tested vegan beauty products. Marisa's always loved beauty, having started blogging over a decade ago and gaining a qualification in makeup artistry. Everything changed for Marisa during Christmas 2018, when she saw an Edgar's Mission billboard on the highway, featuring a picture of a pig and the statement "My name is Penelope Sue, not dinner". This image hit Marisa's heart, feeling a lot of sadness and guilt, so she told her husband Jason she didn't want to eat animals anymore.It didn't take long for Marisa to make the connection between beauty products and animal testing, vowing to no longer use products tested on animals. Thanks to some thoughtful conversations with a vegan on social media, seeds were planted about products not truly being cruelty free unless they are vegan. This extended Marisa's circle of compassion and she decided to go vegan at the start of this year.Wild & Cruelty Free was born out of Marisa's love for beauty and cruelty free content creation. Marisa values giving back to animal charities, providing a monthly donation to an animal organisation based on the sales from her business.In this episode, Marisa shares how she researched beauty products for their vegan and cruelty free merits, as well as customer advocacy for brands to go vegan and future plans for Wild & Cruelty FreeFor the month of November, Wild & Cruelty Free will kindly be donating money from every sale to Victorian Lamb Rescue.https://www.instagram.com/wildandcrueltyfree_ http://www.wildandcrueltyfree.com.au https://www.instagram.com/marisarobinsonbeautyhttp://www.marisarobinsonbeauty.com

Transparency. It's a characteristic critical to a healthy relationship and something supply chains need to have as well. Clean, ethical, you name it. Brands often use those words to market their products, but fail to demonstrate a transparent supply chain from top to bottom. Our guest not only works hard to provide a vegan and cruelty free product to her customers, but she is able to do so on a bootstrapped budget. As CEO and co-Founder of MASAMI Haircare, Lynn Power discusses her jump from the ad world to entrepreneurship, the struggles behind sourcing packaging, and how she ensures vegan and cruelty free materials.Guest Quote“We want to be as transparent as possible. So we want to understand exactly where and how things are sourced. You need to be able to trace all that stuff in order to submit that paperwork and then maintain it. And that's a whole process.” - Lynn Power—Time Stamps *(1:26) Meet Lynn*(6:42) Formulating from Japan*(8:50) How ethically sourced product can be advantageous *(11:46) The vegan and cruelty free certification process*(14:44) Segment 2: Challenges*(18:30) Sourcing overseas vs US*(21:22) Segment 3: The Venting Couch*(23:22) Segment 4: Back to the Future*(27:38) Segment 5: Quick Hitters—Sponsor:This podcast is powered by the team at Stord.

Kristin Zaldana has been obsessed with skincare since she was a young girl. In 2017 Kristin turned her dream into reality by founding her vegan, cruelty free beauty line 2nd Kind and in this episode, she reveals everything you need to know about a natural, healthy and intentional skincare routine. A self-made businesswoman at the age of 19, Kristin decided to experiment with products in the comfort of her family's kitchen table. Three years after launching, she shares about her growth journey, the decision to reduce her product line from 16 to 8, and how she dealt with impostor syndrome as she grew her business.Valerie and Kristin discuss their passion for vegan and cruelty products, how to spot fake vegan products, and why now more than ever you need to know what chemicals go in your face! In this interview Kristin and Valerie also talk about how the nail industry is filled with carcinogens, how to find what skin routine works for you and how you should follow beauty advice from your local aesthetician, not your local influencer. Kristin reveals her beauty routine, her favorite universal beauty products and how they provide the best nutrients to keep you radiant! Beauty tips: -bacteria can live in your loofas, washcloths and sponges even if you wash them daily. Look for silicon gloves that can be fully washed and disinfected.-you skin's pH can be leveled by the use of a daily toner. Stay away from foamy toners and choose creamy toners to reduce your body's intake of dangerous SLSs (sodium laureth sulfates)-Your skin's moisture levels have nothing to do with your water consumption, instead, you should focus on limiting your caffeine intake. -Some cosmetics which include SPF have 'flashback' effects, and that's why you should be careful with the products you take to an outdoor photoshoot.Key takeaways from this interview: -Improve your self-love by having a self-care routine.-Eye care is super important: the sooner you start taking care of them, the better! Water-based or light cream are best to reduce bags under the eyes and puffiness.-It's important for consumers to look for certified companies because some brands use 'vegan' and 'cruelty free' logos as a dubious marketing technique. -Kristin learned the hard way that you can never fix sun damage.-Makeup without SPF won't protect you from sun damage.​-Vitamin C is a game changer in the beauty routine Learn more about 2nd Kind and Kristin:-https://2ndkind.com/https://www.facebook.com/2ndkindbeautyhttps://www.instagram.com/2ndkindbeauty/https://www.instagram.com/skinwithkris/

Hi everyone. I hope you're keeping safe, healthy, and hanging in there. Sending love your way and my thoughts are with you.-----This week's Hello Beauty guest is Pacifica's Founder, Brook Harvey-Taylor. Pacifica is, what you would say, the OG of 100% vegan, clean, and cruelty-free beauty because Brook created her brand over 23 years ago when indie brands or even the clean beauty space was not a thing yet. Brook shares how she started Pacifica with no beauty brand knowledge and from borrowing money from both her and her husband's mom, as well as maxing out her credit cards. She has created a brand that's ahead of its time and continues to do so by continuously coming up with fun and interesting products such as her hemp-infused eyeshadows that have powerful color pay off and are creamy to touch. In this episode, we distinguish the meaning between vegan and cruelty-free, Pacifica's recycling program, Pacifica's commitment to the clean beauty space, why hemp is a great ingredient for makeup, and so much more. FOLLOW PACIFICAPacifica's WebsitePacifica's InstagramFOLLOW BROOK HARVEY-TAYLORBrook's Instagram FOLLOW HELLO BEAUTYHello Beauty's InstagramHello Beauty's FacebookHello Beauty's YouTubeFOLLOW JOYCE PLATONJoyce Platon's Instagram

It started with a happy accident— a tech platform experiment gone bad—and turned into a viral makeup brand that struck gold by responding quickly to consumer needs and wants. The secret sauce? Delivering luxury for less, being nimble at developing around customer-driven trends, moving from direct to consumer to retail (e-commerce isn’t necessarily king)— and the ethos of bringing moments of joy into every day. Co-founder Natalie Mackey shares the belief that the spirit of beauty is rooted in play and that thoughtfully produced products can be tools for self care, creative expression and even a way to spark new friendships. 

Best Budget Buys Under $20 International guest Lynn James aka Mrs. Mummypenny, a personal finance expert shares her favorite cruelty-free budget-friendlyy beauty picks that offer the same benefits as the more expensive luxury brands but minus the animal cruelty or hole in your pocket. I used to be scared of budget buys just as you might be and assume that because they’re cheap they’re crap. In some cases that can be true but thankfully with these products, that isn't the case! I’ve linked all of her recommendations via Amazon which all come in at under $15!  Lynn’s a savvy shopper who loves her beauty and she actually visited me at Dawes Custom Cosmetics Lipstick Lab when she was in Las Vegas to make her custom lipstick. One of her favorite cruelty-free vegan brands is Kat Von D which I love too (great foundations and mascara) but sometimes these brands can be a little bit out of reach for everyone so Lynn shared with us how to do beauty on a budget and where to save and where to splurge.  What she found in general was that with moisturizers, toners and even serums she can get away with using products from Aldi who are really famous in the UK for creating dupe products (copies of other more expensive brands). Lacura day moisturizer which costs around $8 Lacura mascara $6.99 a dupe of Benefits mascara. Lacura Cashmere Concealer Pen an under eye concealer that’s 2.99 a dupe of YSL Touche Eclat that still tests on animals. e.l.f under eye brightening powder $4 e.l.f contouring palette Read the full show notes plus some extra research and insights into all of the products: GlamourandGainsbyeve.com Where to Find Lynn James aka Mrs. Mummypenny Website: https://www.mrsmummypenny.co.uk Twitter: https://twitter.com/MrsMummypennyUK Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MrsMummypenny Podcast/ SG1 Radio Show https://www.mrsmummypenny.co.uk/mrs-mummypenny-talks/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/mrsmummypennyuk/ About Your Host: Eve Dawes is a fitness professional, WBFF Pro Diva, NASM & REPS certified trainer, and Founder of Dawes Custom Cosmetics a natural, cruelty-free cosmetic line and GlamourAndGainsByEve.com.

CRUELTY FREE 1:40 1. Vegan doesn't contain animal ingredients 2. Vegan doesn't mean free from animal testing 3. Many Cruelty Free Brands offer Vegan Options 4. Cruelty Free must be not contain any products or ingredients tested on animals 5. Required by Law Animal Testing YOU PUT THAT NEAR YOUR EYE? 8:16 1. Chemical eyelash growth serums contain prostaglandin analogue - a compound that signals inflammation 2. Chemical Eyelash serums cause chronic and irreversible dry eye disease 3. Prostaglandin analogue is used in glaucoma treatment 4. Inflammation thickens the oil that provides the eye with moisture and clogs the glands. 5. Many over the counter serums contain a synthetic version of prostaglandin analogue isopropyl cloprostenate and claim to have no active medical ingredient. The synthetic version causes the same damage.

Many think that veganism is a passing fad, a diet with an expiration date. Untrue, says, Dr. Ian McDonald, veganism and vegetarianism have a long history, traced back until the fifteenth century. On today's episode, we're going to explore how the hunter gatherer's expressed remorse over eating animals, mock meats way before the current state of faux meats, Paris' role in laying the groundwork for the modern veg movement, and what the future holds. Plus, in the first segment, I'll keep you updated on all things McDonald's vegan options. What are they offering? Do I support it? Do you agree with me?

When people think vegan they immediately think only of food. Another often overlooked aspect are the beauty, cosmetics, and house hold cleaners you bring into your home and use on your body daily. Today I'm sharing WHY cruelty free products are so important. I didn't 'get it' for a while after making the food changes myself, so I want to bring you all the information so don't have to waste time like I did. I'm sharing what really happens in animal testing (it's not just lab rats...), what alternatives are available to animal testing & how reliable they are, what ingredients are hidden in your favorite products (hint: bat poo is most mascaras!!), and what you can do to avoid this cruel reality. Plus I answer the ever popular question of 'should I throw everything away and start over?'

In this episode, I interview highly successful mom, wife, entrepreneur and owner of Mint Pear Beauty, Rita Almusa. A few years ago, Rita was working a pretty relatable 9-5 job in corporate finance. After grinding away year after year, Rita found herself wanting more freedom. Again, this is a relatable and common story. What’s NOT common […]

Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder but what would you do if you found that all of your favorite cosmetics irritated your skin? Then to top it off, you found out that they were tested on animals?
