Wow Today my international publication with @jutemagazine turns 4 years!!!!Holy Cow 🐮 Where has time gone??🙈Thank you Facebook memories for reminding me😹♥️ {Magazine: @jutemagazine Vol.VIIIpart2 📸Photography: @snapsstudio 🎨MUAH: @muatonyyanez (myUncle)

✨Creative Director: @amandagift (She got inspired by my #Veganism and all my props were Organic and I eat them all😹Your the best Amanda!!!)

💁🏽‍♀️Model: @creestaaal @veganmakeupshare } {Just A Little Note: @tartecosmetics Is a 🐰Cruelty-Free Brand certified by @peta Let it be noted that Tarte Cosmetics’s Parent company is KOSÉ a Japanese PC who does test on animals. Although Tarte itself does not sell their products in the Chinese market where Animal Testing is required. I personally stopped supporting Tarte once the Acquirement happened because unfortunately the brand and PC couldn’t answer my questions and as you can see I was a huge customer which unfortunately for them made me withdraw my support from their products💔

If a brand cannot answer their own customers questions/concerns regarding their Acquirement in my Personal opinion that just sucks!We live in a capitalist world&unfortunately most brands will continue to sell out to the same PC we are boycotting.Whether it be food, makeup&clothing.Yes it’s very frustrating!Its a Catch-22(“a dilemma or difficult circumstance from which there is no escape because of mutually conflicting or dependent conditions.”)

For the animals we are trying help.

I say support your indie brands& truly Cruelty-Free&Vegan brands first&if you want to make our lifestyle accessible4everyone else then you can support the others if you want.Progress over perfection.Do whatever you can.We all have different situations happening inour lives}

Zabana Essentials Glow Stick

Zabana Essentials Vegan🌱 & Cruelty-Free 🐰
About Zabana Essentials:

image

Welcome! My name is Shanell Edwards, I am the founder of Zabana Essentials (Pronounced: Zab-Ana Essentials), located in San Diego, California. It is my mission to offer Pure 100% Natural & Vegan Cosmetics. Zabana Essentials got its start when I began my quest to find affordable natural-hypoallergenic bath and body products that would not irritate my sensitive skin. I was a college graduate, attempting to start my career in the workforce and was on a tight budget like many and found it difficult to afford many of the well-known natural products on the retail shelves. After reading labels and realizing that I had some of the natural ingredients already in my kitchen, I decided to begin researching and experimenting and found the answers to my quest were right at my fingertips.
It is now my goal to offer affordable Natural – Vegan – Human Friendly – Cruelty Free Cosmetics that are not only nurturing for the skin, but enjoyable, attractive, and smell great! I’d like to be able to reach consumers who may not fit the stereotypical natural products consumer of the past, but people just like me. People who are seeking healthy, non-intimidating alternatives, for their everyday lifestyle.
  What does Zabana Mean?!?!?!
I often hear “What does Zabana mean?”, “That’s a unique name.” Zabana means Savannah in the Native American Taino dialect. What is special about a Zabana to us? A Zabana is a grassy plain eco-system that may contain an abundance of herbaceous plants that lend benefits to us humans. For centuries therapeutic oils have been extracted from natural plant matter to promote good health and well-being. All Zabana Essentials products are of plant derived origin, and every formulation we use the essence of herbs, whether it be through the use of dry herbs or essential oils, herbal or vegetable based body oils and butters. I believe it is vital that we use the nutrients provided to us by mother earth, as we can find an abundance of benefits using what has been provided to us.
