Is there really no such thing as natural beauty? Well, not everyone can roll out of bed ready for the world, but your daily makeup routine can expose you to more toxins than a nuclear dumpsite (okay, occasionally it is exaggerated). But don’t give up on your makeup: instead, opt for natural products derived from plants and minerals. The average woman spends $650 a year on cosmetics, which isn’t always money well spent. Resources like the campaign for safe cosmetics work to protect consumers of personal care products. There are literally hundreds of natural products out there to try. Here are a few of it:
- Peacekeeper Lip Paint- nine shades of lipstick and glosses. “No nasty anything” and all after-tax profits go to women’s health and human advocacy issues.
- Dr. Hauschka Kajal Eyeliners – quince-based wax eyeliners that smudge perfectly.
- Annemarie Borlind Powder Eye Shadow – great earth tones in a pretty compact.
- Larenim – “mineral” spelled backward: Larenim offers loose mineral-based powders that can be used for everything from foundation to eye liner.
Having these natural products would give you these benefits: Safety first. Many cosmetic products contain ingredients that may interfere with naturally-occurring hormones throughout the body. A recent study found that 72% of cosmetics and personal products tested contained phthalates, a known hormone disruptor. This will also lighten our eco-load. Natural products are better for the planet as well as your skin. And, protect animal friends. Check the back of the label to make sure your makeup wasn’t tested on critters. So, better shift to natural products now!
