Pretty in Pink: Organic Bug Supports Breast Cancer Awareness
I’m not what you would call a “girly-girl,” being far more comfortable in jeans and sandals than I’ve ever been in heels and a skirt. However, I understand that finding beauty products which are both good for you and good for the environment, is pretty hard for women across the board.
That’s why it’s important to recognize companies making a choice to offer cosmetics that are both without sacrificing prettiness or practicality.
OrganicBug.com, an online retailer offering sustainable products that promote healthy lifestyles, announced today that it would take part in the fight against breast cancer by supporting the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life, a 24 hour life-changing event that gives local communities a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost and fight back against the disease.
Inspired by the efforts of one of its favorite companies, Piggy Paint, Organic Bug will be donating 10 percent of its sales of Piggy Paint’s Fight Breast Cancer Gift Set to the local Relay for Life event that will happen in April of 2010 in New Smyrna Beach, Florida.
Organic Bug is proud to offer Piggy Paint’s Fight Breast Cancer Gift Set, which contains two bottles of polish that arrive sweetly placed among a nest of pink shredded paper in a pink frosted TO GO box. Piggy Paint Kid-Friendly Nail Polish is the safest nail polish available for children and adults. It is specially formulated using natural ingredients and dries to a hard, durable finish. Piggy Paint polishes have no harsh, smelly, toxic chemicals like formaldehyde, toluene, phthalates, biphenyl A, ethyl acetate or acetone. It’s as ‘natural as mud’ in the sense that every ingredient is biodegradable with no residues left behind to harm the environment.
Piggy Paint already donates a portion of every purchase of the gift set directly to Susan G. Komen for the Cure in addition to donating a bottle of nail polish to a woman currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer. Organic Bug has now sweetened the deal for its customers by adding a free bottle of nail polish remover and offering free shipping for each purchase of a gift set.
“Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women today,” said Peggy English, co-founder of Organic Bug. “We were inspired by the actions of Piggy Paint and are happy to add our own contribution to supporting breast cancer survivors and the fight for a cure.”
