Vegan cosmetics: castor oil Hot Mama Lip Gloss



We here, at The All Natural Face, care more about our customers than we do the bottom line. Our mission is to provide you with truly pure cosmetics. We use the purest form available for each ingredient in our products. We use organic whenever possible...but do not throw around words for sales like a lot of companies do. The word Vegan is used on tons of products. All that really means is that it doesn’t contain animal products. If you are striving for purely vegan products please read the labels carefully. Just because it is vegan does not mean they can’t put chemicals in there…just not those derived from animal sources.

For all you vegans out there….did you know that carmine is ground up African cockroaches!? Love that tube of bright red lipstick? Read the label. If it contains carmine….that is what you are ingesting. To bring that a little more into the light….the average woman ingests 6-10 lbs of lipstick over their lifetime.

We then formulate from there, making stuff from its purest, simplest forms... We then test it on human guinea pigs…no animal testing here! Our products and raw materials are not tested on animals...


Many people have converted from Bare Minerals, Everyday Minerals, Bare Escentuals, Physicians Formula, and many, many more. The secret is that we use pure natural ingredients here. No bismuth oxychloride, parabens, talc, carmine, silk powder, d &c lake dyes, just to mention a few!



7) Lake lake (lac) dyes: those contain lac, which is rubbery secretion of some insects.

6) Silk powder: obviously non-vegan, comes from cocoons of larvae of silkworms.

5) Carmine: carmine is a  pigment of a bright-red colour obtained from the aluminium salt of carminic acid, which is produced by some scale insects, such as the cochineal scale and the Polish cochineal (wiki). 


4) Talc: how this is non-vegan? Dolomite and silica is one way to compose talc. They contain  bio materials from long long ago. 

3) Parabens: parabens are found naturally in plants, nothing non-vegan about them. The rumour is they cause breast cancer. Scary! Because no matter hat you do in regards to cosmetics, they are still everywhere, like in blueberries!



2) Bismuth: unuasually low toxicity for a heavy metal; used all over the place, in pharmaceutics (Pepto-Bismol etc.), cosmetics. Formerly used to treat syphilis, nowadays used to treat gastric ulcers and like.  Vegan!


1) No animal testing:  I protest. Humans are also animals. No vegan or vegetarian will eat a human or even drink his blood.
Non-vegetarians do eat other humans as pictured in 400+ Cannibal movies.

Price: $4.60 Ingredients: Cold pressed castor oil, Candelillia wax, Mica, Oxides

Great culinary blog "My last bite..."

Sur La Table is my favourite store for kinky gadgets. Crate and Barrel, Williams Sonoma are somewhat behind. Paying too much attention to cookware and (in case of Crate and Barrel) to dinnerware. Just to give you an idea: I'm in line to pay for my finds and overhear the conversation. This sharp-looking not-so-young lady asks a girl at the counter about some special spatula she'd seen on TV. - We are sold out twice!

But imagine my disappointment when I asked for truffle shaver and they didn't have one. Offered me chocolate shaver instead! I looked here and there, I looked everywhere and I found this My list bite... culinary blog through the old post about Truffle shaver the author got form Sur La Table!

I was deeply touched by the story of her childhood in Okinawa and then children's home in US.

And I liked the idea of (her favourite) food films section.
1. Tampopo
2. Mostly Martha
3. Ratatouille
4. Big Night
5. Eat, Drink, Man, Woman
6. Like Water for Chocolate
7. Under the Tuscan Sun
8. Woman on Top
9. Dinner Rush

I would add
10. "Babette's feast" (1987, Denmark)
11. "The Cook the Thief His Wife & Her Lover" (1989, USA)
12. "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory" (1971)

more to come
