Clean Tea was created by two sassy Aussie mums from a seaside town near Bryon Bay. Clean Tea co-founder Jordana explains why she created the brand, "I wanted to share the benefits of clean eating with other people struggling with their weight or heath. I am a massive herbal tea drinker and I wanted to combine my two passions for health and tea into a range of teas that made you feel good, look good help you stay on track with your clean eating and ultimately taste good, for everyday!" 

After having her second child Jordana knew she had a lot of weight to lose. She tried many different diets and weight loss pills without any major success until she was introduced to clean eating by her mother who is a Naturopath. After switching to clean eating plan she lost 37 kilos and has never felt better. So she teamed up with her neighbour and fellow clean eater Kristy to create "Clean Tea". Kristy is also a vegetarian and was passionate about starting a new business and creating a range of herbal teas. "I suffer from terrible insomnia and I am so pleased our dream tea has helped relieved this." 

Jordana enlisted the help of her mother Amanda, a Herbalist and qualified Naturopath with over 17 years experience to create their range of healthy herbal teas.

KIND BEAUTY: Be Cruelty-Free Campaign

[ Be Cruelty Free] 
JENNA DEWAN TATUM 

To celebrate the 2nd annual Be Cruelty Free week Eco Angel and actress Jenna Dewan-Tatum has teamed up with The Humane Society to promote a campaign to end cosmetic testing on animals. 

Being a passionate animal activist and vegan, Jenna was eager to be involved with this important campaign. 

"I am so honoured to work with The Humane Society to help end needless animal testing. Please help me make this change." - Jenna Dewan Tatum



Jenna's new simple and stunning Be Cruelty Free campaign image explains it all "Beauty shouldn't require animal testing." The Humane Society placed the ad on a huge billboard on Santa Monica Blvd, a busy shopping district in LA. The billboard will be up until March 31 to encourage people to choose cruelty-free beauty products as part of the campaign. 



Jenna features in a new behind the scenes video with celebrity photographer Don Flood to promote the campaign and explain why we need to ban needless animal testing in the cosmetics industry. Jenna lends her voice and her face to the cause.  

"I found it appalling that we are still testing on animals for cosmetics, for all sorts of products that we just absolutely don't need to be doing that anymore. I truly hope that in this day and age, the United States will follow other amazing countries that have already banned cosmetic testing. We as the global leader have not done that yet. That is absolutely disgusting to me."  - Jenna Dewan Tatum


Jenna's favourite cruelty-free beauty brands are Tarte and Josie Maran Cosmetics. "All the makeup I use is non-animal tested. Be conscious when you're buying cosmetics, please check the label and see if it says no animal testing. There are so many other ways to be doing this without involving and harming all these innocent animals." 



So how can we Be Cruelty Free? We can make a conscious effort to always check the labels and only buy products that are not tested on animals. We can also take action by supporting the Humane Cosmetics Act. The first-ever legislation to prohibit the manufacture and sale of animal-tested cosmetics which was recently introduced in the United States. If passed, the Humane Cosmetics Act would bring USA up to speed with a global trend that is moving away from animal tested cosmetics. Already in the US over 500 beauty and personal care product companies have adopted humane manufacturing policies and produce cruelty-free products, but there are still countless companies who continue to test on animals. So a change needs to be made. 

The Be Cruelty Free campaign is working toward the day when consumers will not need to check labels because all cosmetics will be safe and cruelty-free. So step up and join the campaign and Be Cruelty Free.
