I’ve been trying a lot of 100% Pure products and I just love them.  I think I love even more what a great company they are.  I recently received a letter from Susie, the owner, sharing what they’ve done this year.  It makes me so happy to know I’m supporting such an amazing company.  Here are a few highlights from her letter:

All our 100% Pure formulas are biodegradable, all our labels are printed with non toxic soy ink, our packaging is from post recycled and or recyclable materials, our shipping materials are pre-cycled – we pick up from our neighbors packing materials such as popcorn and packing boxes to re-use them which eliminates waste, and majority of the paper we use is recycled.

Also, thank you deeply for supporting and believing in our mission to help animals. 100% Pure formulas are completely cruelty free (none of our formulas or ingredients were ever tested on animals) and 100% Pure formulas and makeup brushes are vegan (or vegetarian when cruelty free honey ingredients are used). With your generous support to 100% Pure, these are the ways we helped animals this year:

**** We have rescued and placed 21 dogs into loving, happy homes that were abandoned or about to get euthanized at shelters

**** We have donated to private individuals who were not able to afford surgery or necessary medical care for their pets and without our help, a lot of caretakers would have had to of put their pets to sleep or let them suffer in pain. We arranged with animal hospitals to contact us if a caretaker opts out of treatment due to financial inability. We told the hospitals if there are ever cases like this, we are happy to financially help and this year, we saved quite a few pets this way

**** We made generous financial and product donations to no kill shelters that needed to raise money

We currently donate products to a women’s shelter that is a haven for battered women who have nowhere else to go. My fiancee’s grandmother passed away from breast cancer and I know for certain that with enough money into research, we can find a cure so women no longer have to suffer from this disease. I also love children and it breaks my heart when children are hungry from poverty.

This young kid from Florida is amazing – we should all take lessons from him.  Most people think of things but seldom act on them – he made it happen and he’s only in 4th grade!
