Bamboo is a hot trend.   Why?  It is a fast growing eco friendly plant.  It can grow 3-4 feet per day without fertilizers or pesticides, needs only a little water and releases more oxygen into the atmosphere than similar sized trees.   It is being used for clothing, sheets, towels, building materials, home supplies, etc. and even, makeup brushes.  Earth Friendly Makeup Brushes Ecotools Makeup Brushes have bamboo handles.  The bristles are synthetic taklon and are 100% cruelty free.  The metal on the brushes is made from recycled aluminum. And they are inexpensive.  It is a beautiful plant and can create nice screening but, think twice about planting it directly in your garden. It will take over and invade everywhere unless it is planted in an in the ground container.

It is safe and is also used as a food colorant. Read your labels! Carmine can also be listed as crimson lake, cohineal, natural red 4, C.I. 75470, E120, natural color and added color.   If you want a list of products that do not contain carmine, go to caringconsumer.com and search for cruelty free products and companies.
