Green and Organic Cosmetics


The beauty industry is big business and in an industry where image is everything, it is little surprise that there is a great deal of unnecessary packing involved. One of the best and simplest ways to be green in this area is to only buy what you need and will use to the end. With so many products available and different potions in fashion, it is easy to end up with a bathroom cabinet and dresser full of lotions and makeup that are not finished or even used.

What are the greenest beauty products to buy? There are several ways to look at this depending on whether you are worried about packaging, harmful chemicals, if the ingredients are organic and if the product is tested on animals.

Check out the packaging on your favourite products, is the packing recycled or come from sustainable sources and are you able to recycle it once it is finished.
