Pew Institute teams with Chantecaille Cosmetics to protect global marine life
Date:3/11/2008

NEW YORK CITY A unique collaboration that leverages A-list female beauty to conserve the earths precious and threatened marine environments is being launched today at upscale cosmetics counters around the world.

The Pew Institute for Ocean Science (http://www.pewoceanscience.org) is pleased to announce that Chantecaille, a luxury cosmetics company, will donate five percent of the proceeds of its gorgeous new Protected Paradise Face and Eyes compacts to support vital marine science research and conservation efforts. Specifically, the funds will support the Institutes Pew Fellowship in Marine Conservation program, which provides a $150,000 award to each of five ocean experts around the world annually to develop solutions to critical ocean challenges. The Fellowship is widely considered to be the Nobel Prize of marine conservation.

The heads of both institutions are strong, adventurous, and innovative New Yorkers with an innate appreciation for beauty and a passion to preserve it. Dr. Ellen Pikitch, executive director of the Pew Institute for Ocean Science, is a leading marine biologist who with her research team pursues cutting-edge research used to conserve intricate, valuable, and threatened marine ecosystems. Dr. Pikitch swims with sharks and affixes their fins with satellite tags as part of her research, and has traveled to every continent as part of her scientific exploration. Sylvie Chantecaille, owner and founder of Chantecaille Beaut, was born in France and is a devoted environmentalist and successful international businesswoman. She co-founded the Prescriptives cosmetics line for Este Lauder and then started her own exclusive brand, which has soared to success and is a popular choice of celebrities and models alike. Her Chantecaille products are sold in high-end retail stores in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Hong Kong.
