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.With both Earth Hour and Earth Day coming up over the next weeks, here are the latest beauty releases designed to make you look and feel good at the same time.
Artists for the rain forest
Actress Julianne Moore, rapper Pharrell Williams, artist Jeff Koons and professional surfer Malia Jones have designed new labels for the Acai Damage-Protecting Toning Mist by Kiehl's ($26). All proceeds will go to the Rainforest Alliance.
Supermodel support
Gisele Bundchen, who officially promotes Earth Hour in a newly released commercial, has just launched a three-product beauty line called Sejaa. 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."
Soft Hands Kind Heart
The Body Shop's ethical hand cream ($10) benefits ECPAT USA (End Child Prostitution, Child Pornography, and Trafficking of Children for Sexual Purposes) and the Somaly Mam Foundation.

Carbon-free perfume
Blue Marble Energy, a US organization committed to cutting carbon emissions, has teamed up with Seattle-based perfumery Sweet Anthem to create what it claims to be the first-ever carbon-free fragrance, made from brewery waste instead of petroleum. EOS sells online for $30.
