“Petroleum waxes, oils and chemicals, coal-tar dyes and potentially carcinogenic talc are included in just about everything in your makeup kit. Lash-extending mascaras can even cntain polluting plastics like polyurethane.” (Vasil. Ecoholic:2007) YUCK! We tolerate cancer-causing agents in our environment at our own peril. It is such a wonderful concept, a lipstick container that is made form renewable corn plastic and the packaging is made from seeded paper that can be planted to grow wildflowers… why didn’t I think of that? Cargo Cosmetics have made the prettiest sheer lipsticks without compromising quality or style. The eco-friendly line, called “Plant Love” can be bought at Sephora along with other fun products packaged in biodegradable corn plastic. (My personal favorite collection is the Fire Collection). An interactive website on the site allows you to plant flowers in the city (virtually). I planted two flowers in my favorite lipstick shades which brought the total number of flowers planted to 7068. It’s so great to see eco warriors showing their support for a “lipstick with a conscience”.
My second eco friendly pick is by Korres. My favorite are the eye shadows and lip glosses… the cherry oil used in them smells amazing! Available at Sephora.
