Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Here are the latest ethical beauty campaigns and product releases to coincide with Earth Day, April 22.

Tested on film stars, not on animals
That's the slogan of celebrity hair stylist (Demi Moore, Marisa Tomei) Tara Smith's vegan styling range. Smith's products are free of parabens, artificial coloring, synthetic fragrances and animal derivatives and instead rely on natural ingredients such as avocado, olive oil, or yeast extracts, while costing a surprisingly low $5.95 to $9.95.

Supermodel support
Gisele Bundchen's new organic beauty line Sejaa is now available online. She used coconut oil as a preservative and told US Vogue: "[The manufacturers] were ready to kill me. I wanted the cream to be organic - they explained that if it's organic, it's alive, and that means it can't survive for a long time."
