The Crystal is Cruelty Free & Vegan

When it came to finding vegan deodorant, I was surprised at the options available. One brand that was suggested the most was The Crystal. Not only was I hearing that it was cruelty free and vegan, but also all natural.

As previously stated – With each brand that I want to feature, I’m sending the company an e-mail asking them to clarify if they use animal testing at any point in the process as well as if they use any animal ingredients or by-products. I want readers of Logical Harmony to be getting verified information that I know is correct. When I contacted The Crystal, they sent me the following reply :

All of Crystal’s products are vegan and cruelty free. Our deodorants are made from natural mineral salts and do not contain any animal byproducts. We do not do any testing on animals and are a member of Leaping Bunny.

My Favorite Cruelty Free & Vegan Brands

While I’ve been asking tons of bloggers for their favorite cruelty free items, I’ve never talked about my favorite cruelty free and vegan brands. I think that it’s extremely important to choose animal friendly options. There are so many out there that it’s really easy to even just pick up a cruelty free version of any product that you currently use. Making sure that my health, beauty, and household items are completely animal friendly (both cruelty free and vegan) is really important to me. Some people think that it must be difficult to find everything I need in an animal friendly version, but it’s actually very easy.

Here is a list of my favorite cruelty free and vegan brands :

Beautisol – This skin care company is cruelty free and nearly all vegan (the exception is Go Slough Yourself body scrub, which is being reformulated to be vegan). I’ve tried several Beautisol products and have always been extremely happy with them. I love that they make vegan self tanner that actually works amazingly well. If you’re in the San Francisco area, check out spray tan services from Couture Glow. They use vegan Beautisol self tanner for their spray tans.
Dr. Bronner’s – These soaps are cruelty free, organic, and fair trade. Plus you can use them for literally everything. They are made so that you can wash your hair, brush your teeth, do laundry, clean your floors… Literally everything. As stated in their FAQ, other than the lip and body balms everything else is vegan.
Earthly Body – From hair products to shaving cream to candles to mineral make up – Earthly Body has a high quality cruelty free and vegan option. They use hemp oil, argan oil, tea tree oil and other great oils. Their products are free of mineral oil, dyes, sulfates, propylene glycol, phthalates or parabens.
Kiss My Face – There are few products that Kiss My Face doesn’t make. Their products are all cruelty free and mostly vegan (some have honey or beeswax, but they are clearly labeled in the ingredients). While they are most well known for their skin care, which I do love, I also love their other products too. In fact, their whitening aloe toothpaste is my favorite vegan toothpaste. Kiss My Face has a strong belief in using real, natural ingredients. I love that they provide a ingredient list explaining what these ingredients are and the benefits.
Seventh Generation – I grew up with these products and still love them. The company has expanded a lot from the dish soap and laundry detergent we used when I was a kid and now includes more soaps, household cleaners, and recycled paper goods. Seventh Generation is completely cruelty free and vegan.
Smashbox – Cruelty free and mostly vegan high quality cosmetics. If you e-mail customer service and ask about certain shades of certain products they will reply and let you know if they contain animal ingredients and what those ingredients might be. I’ve been in touch with them and am building an expanding list here.

Adriana Lima Reveals Victoria’s Secret Angel Diet

When I first heard about the Victoria’s Secret Angel Diet through Alternative Housewife and the Huffington Post I was shocked. We all knew that these girls worked really hard to get those bodies. To hear the extent of what they have to do from Victoria’s Secret Angel Adriana Lima was even worse. No matter what your end take is on the all liquid diet, you have to respect Andriana for being so upfront about what is required to look that good.

No Medical Life Insurance

Many of us are often told time and time again about how important getting life insurance is. If you are eating right, getting in your exercise and living an overall healthy life then it may seem like a waste of time. Having a healthy diet now can lead to a better life later. Eating fewer animal products can help you from having high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and may even reduce your risk of several types of cancer. These are all health issues you may deal with later in life, and you might wish that you had life insurance in the future.

Cruelty Free Faves : Jackie of The Hourglass

When it comes to cruelty free and vegan beauty, a lot of people picture an earthy-crunchy kind of girl wearing Birkenstocks and whose makeup collection consists of lip balm and mascara. One of the main goals of Logical Harmony is to show that you can still maintain your lifestyle while being animal friendly. In an effort to show that there is so much more to cruelty free and vegan beauty, I reached out to some of your favorite fashion bloggers and asked them to share their favorite items that just happen to be cruelty free and/or vegan.

If you’ve been looking for a style blog that shows you how to mix today’s trends with the best of retro and vintage, look no further than The Hourglass. Jackie’s unique style is something that only she could pull off so perfectly. Her love of bold colors and prints is also super inspiring. I should know – she’s the reason I decided to give bright pink and orange lipstick a try. Read on to see the cruelty free beauty favorites of Jackie of The Hourglass.
