Cosmetics are notorious for containing harsh chemicals, synthetic ingredients, and being sold in mountains of unnecessary packaging. Environmentally friendly cosmetics companies are starting to pop up here and there, but few have gone to the lengths that Physicians Formula have with their Organic wear line to ensure that they provide their customers with the best all-natural makeup solution on the market. The ingredients are free of synthetic preservatives, 100% cruelty free, and even the packaging is created with the earth in mind.
For the moment, Physicians Formula Organic wear seems to be focusing on foundation products – powders, bronzers, and brushes, but these are the most important products in terms of ingredients, as you tend to use them all over your face rather than just in a particular area. I particularly love the way the compacts are designed – it’s a recycled paper compact (yes, really) with a natural goat hair brush. Beautiful and responsible – a great combination.

Looking for a lipstick that brings beauty and health to lips and is also environmental- friendly? Well, here’s the heads up on all you GREEN lovers. Cargo cosmetics just made a lipstick line called PlantLove Botanical Lipstick. What’s fascinating about this lipstick is that it’s made entirely of corn. When I first read that on the box, I was shocked. Who knew you could make lipstick out of corn. Anyway, this environmental-friendly innovation also emits less greenhouse gases which is believed to be the major cause of global warming. The outer carton of the lipstick is made up of flower paper with real flowers seeds embedded in it. How neat is that! I like how it goes on smooth and silky and provides healthy lips. I was very impressed. It contains no mineral oils or petroleums so again it’s an ENVIRONMENTAL-FRIENDLY line. It comes in several shades; however, 10 of those shades were created by 10 celebrities:
Evangeline: Evangeline Lily, Lindsay: Lindsay Lohan, Maria: Maria Menunous, Mariska: Mariska Hargitay, Sarah: Sarah Chalke, Cherry Bliss: Kim Raver, Grace and Faith: Angie Harmon, Sam and Lola: Denise Richards
There’s plenty of shades to choose from. My favorite is Lola.
