Cosmetics

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.

Parabens are a group of chemicals that can be found in shampoos, commercial moisturizers, shaving gels, cleansing gels, personal lubricants, topical/parenteral pharmaceuticals, spray tanning solution, toothpaste and are also used as food additives. Parabens have been a source of controversy as studies have shown they can mimic the hormone estrogen, which is known to play a role in the development of breast cancers and can inhibit development of the male reproductive system.
Post-consumer means any material that has been used by a consumer and then recycled for use in a new product. It is not the same as post-industrial waste, which is the reintroduction of manufacturing scraps into the manufacturing process.
Recycling is the reprocessing of old materials into new products, with the aims of preventing the waste of potentially useful materials, reducing the consumption of fresh raw materials, reducing energy usage, reducing air (from incineration) and water (from landfilling) pollution by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lowering greenhouse gas emissions as compared to virgin production.
Hemp is harvested for its fibers for hemp clothing and seeds for hemp oil. With a relatively short growth cycle of 100-120 days, it is an efficient and economical crop for farmers to grow, however, industrial hemp cannot be commercially grown in the United States because it is erroneously confounded with marijuana. In fact, industrial hemp and marijuana are different breeds of Cannabis sativa. Smoking large amounts of hemp flowers can produce a headache but not a high!
