Kate tested, nature approved

Kate Hudson launches eco-friendly haircare line

Posted by Sarah van Schagen at 11:20 AM on 25 Apr 2008

Kate Hudson's no fool ... her new haircare line, David Babaii For Wildaid, is free of sulfates, parabens, and animal products. The products were tested on Kate, not on animals -- and proceeds will benefit Wildaid, a wildlife conservation org.

So jealous that she gets to hang out with these guys!

Oh, those babies!

They have the most darling baby roars!

But what happened to their mother?  Are they orphans?

They are evidently in good hands, at present.  And one exoects they do not have to stay in that rather frigid room with metallic props all the time.

I had not heard of Wildaid before.  What an excellent cause!  The trade in endangered wild animals, whether alive or dead or dissected and divided, is a frightening phenomenon.  It is terrific that they have networks in India and China, and that a few Chinese celebrities are supporting them.

Chickens deserve our true friendship! So do fish! So do other sentient beings! Let us learn to be kind.

More vegan products. - great

It is great to see more vegan products. I usually buy vegan products - make up and home cleaning supply. Vegan means no animals in the product and not tested in animals. Which is great because no animal needs to die for my lipstick!

Plus, this creates more awareness, when I go to the local beauty store most assistants do not evne know what animal testing is, or which products do not test on animals. And I live in a city.

It is only consumer demand and business that meet that demand that will change the evil face of animal testing. - And gradually decrease animal cruelty in all aspects of life.


celebrity fad

I am very excited about the recent trend in Hollywood of going green. Whether it is genuine, as I could imagine Kate Hudson being, or superficial like Paris Hilton carrying around a tote stating 'go green' as she rides in her limos, and spends more on material items than would be needed to stop hunger in the United States, this trend is still a great advertisement to get the masses thinking green.

I am curious to see if this will remain in the news and the top of celebrities donations, or if it too will pass as other fads in the past. Either way, we must take advantage at present and use this marketing to inform the public about the certain destruction that will happen if our way of living does not drastically change.
