A lot of chemicals go into the cosmetics that create red lips, smoky eyes and rosy cheeks on the faces of women all over the world, and they don't just sit on the surface of the skin. One report suggests that women may absorb five pounds of toxic chemicals a year from beauty products, those chemicals eventually enter the bloodstream (not a place you want chemicals to end up). Thankfully the cosmetic industry is starting to respond to consumer worries by integrating more natural ingredients and getting rid of parabens and phthalates. It's not just small always-been-environmentally-aware brands like NVEY ECO and Burt's Bees, either; big names like CARGO and LORAC are giving their products green makeovers, too. When you're looking for eco-friendly cosmetics, read labels carefully to check for suspected health-problem chemicals and try to select items that have natural minerals, certified-organic ingredients, and plant-derived components. If in doubt consult the Cosmetic Safety Database, a ranking of eco-friendly cosmetics. You'll also find the green aspect of every product listed beside each of our products below.
