Consumers who are looking for more organic products in their life can add makeup to their options very easily these days. There are several organic and natural makeup companies in the market that offer some great products that are fragrance free and are not filled with chemicals that can cause real health issues. Most of these makeup companies are concerned with making sure that animal testing is not used for their products and using as many all natural ingredients as possible in their products.
One of the most well-known companies who sell organic makeup is a common retail name for lip balms and hand crèmes- Burt’s Bees. This company was started with two friends and their retail items are commonly sold throughout the United States. However, some consumers do not know that they also sell a line of organic makeup. The company offers recyclable packaging in order to help with the environment. This company does use animal by-products in some of their products.
There are some other retailers who sell all natural or organic makeup. Companies like Bath and Body Works and Sephora carry many of these types of products. I would suggest that before purchasing these kinds of products that you know a little about the companies as not all companies list all of the ingredients in their products as they are not required to by the federal government. The Physician Formula Company also offers a new line of all natural and organic cosmetics called Organic Wear.
As I researched the options available to consumers online, I found the following companies that I felt were worth mentioning in this article. I have looked at all of their websites and read the missions that they have listed for the company and I decided that I like what I had seen and read.
Lavera is also a company that offers 100% natural and organic makeup. This company is also very well stocked with products for hair and body care as well as sunscreen. This company also carries a line of products for men and babies.
Canary Cosmetics offers natural mineral makeup, lip balms, and moisturizers. This company also offers several choices of products for consumers with sensitive skin. This seems to be a smaller company, but I felt confident in their products after visiting their site.
The Organic Makeup Company is a Canadian company. This company offers several vegan cosmetic choices as well as organic makeup choices. This company is very ecofriendly minded and their packaging is ecofriendly also.
For consumers who wanted a greener lifestyle and a greener home, purchasing all natural and organic products for skin care can be just as important. I suggest that before you start to purchase these products that you shop around and read about the ingredients that these companies use in their products. Be cautious as to whether they are a cruelty-free company or not, also pay close attention to the use of animal byproducts and the types of oils that they use in the products.
