It used to be that if you wanted pure cosmetics and body care products, you had to make them yourself. When my kids were small, stirring and mashing bowls of organic vegetable matter sounded like a fun way to pass the afternoon—but now that deadlines press more briskly upon my schedule, I'd prefer ready-made products. I want to buy things that work as well and are as appealing to use as the products calling out at me from the drugstore shelves. I want affordability. And I don't want the carcinogens, phthalates, parabens or all the other toxic synthetics so prevalent in today's cosmetics and beauty products.
That couldn't be so difficult to find, could it? Actually, it could. Mainstream cosmetics, unfortunately, remain a relatively unhealthy proposition. Greenwashing remains a major hurdle. So we've gathered together a crop of our favorite green beauty and body care resources so that you can let your natural beauty shine.
