Kate
Hudson to Launch Eco-Friendly Haircare Line 4/23/08
Actress Kate Hudson has teamed up with her stylist to launch a new
range of cruelty-free, environmentally-friendly hair products.
The Fool's Gold star felt compelled to do something after reading about
all the chemicals she massages into her scalp every time she washes her
hair.
The 29-year-old star's new David Babaii For WildAid line features
shampoos and conditioners that are free of sulphates and petrochemicals
that are harmful to the environment.
She says, "All these things that we use to penetrate the scalp and
our skin, some of them are the worst things we can put on our body.
"It's very difficult to make a purely organic product that can
pass the sustainability test and that can have a shelf life, but we came
up with our shampoos, and we did it.
"It lathers, it works. I use it, and it doesn't have all the bad
stuff in it."
Hudson admits the revolutionary new haircare range took two years of
developing and testing to create - using her famous blonde locks as a
testing ground.
The success of the WildAid brand has now prompted the star to start
work on a new cosmetics line.
