I was introduced to this wonderful brand after a visit to my local natural market one year ago.\u00a0 I picked up their gorgeous Paint Me Stunning Nail Paint (a mauvy iridescent polish) and also fell in love with their lip paints.\u00a0 Seen below are my Paint Me Stunning, Forgiving, and Non-Violent Nail Paints.\u00a0 Do check out their website and support Peacekeeper Cause-Metics.<\/a> I have included this excerpt about Peacekeeper which can be found on their website:<\/p>\n

“Peacekeeper Cause-Metics is the first cosmetics line to give all of its after-tax, distributable profits to women\u2019s health advocacy and urgent human rights issues. PeaceKeeper builds a bridge between extraordinary women in the land of plenty\u00a0and extraordinary women who, by chance of birth, don\u2019t have our resources or opportunities.<\/em><\/p>\n

Here are the ideals that we pledge to uphold in our business practices:<\/em><\/p>\n

1) Slavery-free labor<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

PeaceKeeper is building a slave-labor free company, so if we\u00a0believe there\u00a0to be\u00a0any\u00a0 exploitation in hours, safety, or health-care and retirement benefits, we are out.<\/em><\/p>\n

We are consulting with www.newstandards.com <\/a>to monitor this.<\/em><\/p>\n

2) Fair wages<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

PeaceKeeper makes sure that the companies we are working with, here and overseas, pay a fair wage to their employees.<\/em><\/p>\n

3) Cruelty-free products<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

PeaceKeeper does not use any products that have been tested on animals. We also provide 100% vegan products for animal lovers who do not use ingredients such as carmine.<\/em><\/p>\n

PeaceKeeper\u00a0strives every day\u00a0to practice the\u00a0ideals of <\/em>truthfulness, <\/em>non-stealing, and <\/em>non-violence, as found in Patanjali’s <\/em>Yoga Sutras, a text which outlines the ways in which a yogi can find ethical balance\u00a0throughout their life.<\/em><\/p>\n

When\u00a0a yogi\u00a0practices <\/em>truthfulness, ultimately anything\u00a0they say\u00a0will come true.\u00a0 If\u00a0they practice <\/em>not hoarding or stealing,\u00a0people will feel so safe around\u00a0them that they will reveal unimaginable treasures. When we\u00a0truly practice <\/em>non-violence, then no negative energy can harm us. Like the Buddhist monks who can safely walk through a battlefield, we can face each day unaffected by the negativity in the world. Now <\/em>that’s powerful!<\/em><\/p>\n

As a company, PeaceKeeper strives to promote greater peace throughout the world by the practice of these traditional concepts.\u00a0We hope that you can help us achieve success by practicing truthfulness, non-stealing, and non-violence in your own everyday lives!”<\/em><\/p>\n
