Of course Earth Day is about a lot more then buying new makeup, however I firmly believe that the best way to encourage good habits is to make it fun and these beauty products defiantly make green fun healthy and luxe. My top environmentally and skin friendly product picks include:
1. This natural, bee-inspired skin care collection features holistic treatments and creams based on propolis, bee pollen, honey, and royal jelly, all sustainably sourced from the brands very own bee farm.
2, "One third of personal care products contain at least one chemical linked to cancer," according to a report by the Environmental Working Group. Instead of petrochemicals, parabens, preservatives or phthalates, this versatile makeup line uses good-for-you extracts like organic pomegranate, reishi mushroom, and green tea. Their all-in-one color stick is aptly named the Universalist.
3. Tata Harper because how many beauty mavens own a farm where they grow the ingredients found in their skin care line?
4. Not only is this British brand one of the oldest organic lines, it's also one of the most eco-friendly. Neal's Yard Remedies is a family-owned company that produces their products in their very own "eco-factory," has CarbonNeutral status, uses minimum preservatives, and makes all of their pampering skin care products with a mix of locally-grown and sustainably-sourced organic ingredients. Says founder Peter Kindersley, "We love organic because no ingredient contains higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients than those which have been organically grown.”
