Kristen Leanne (born December 12, 1988) is an American social media influencer and YouTube star. She is the founder of Arctic Fox hair dyes.
Personal Life and Career
Kristen was born in San Diego, California and is a strong advocate for cruelty free beauty products. She started her YouTube channel in 2014 publishing make-up and beauty tutorials and in that same year alongside her partner, Ryan Morgan, created Arctic Fox hair dye. The product was created due to her frustration of the lack of cruelty-free hair dyes that also provided vibrant colors. When asked about her animal activism, Kristen stated,[4]
"I have always had an overwhelming compassion towards animals.
I grew up riding horses and caring for many different types of animals.
In 8th grade I did my science fair project on animal slaughter houses; it was not the most popular stop at the science fair, however I learned so much, so much that broke my heart.
I became a vegetarian and once I did that, I learned about animal testing, and all about the dog meat trade.
I never knew such horrors and injustice for animals existed.
Since then, it’s been important to me to utilize my voice to speak up for animals, as they have no voice."
15% of the profits from sales of Arctic Fox go to organizations geared towards aiding abused and mistreated animals, such as The Humane society and the International Fund for Animal Welfare.[5]
Kristen is also partners with cruelty-free companies PLUR Makeup and RUX Cosmetics.
She has also collaborated with Urban Decay cosmetics.
