The scary facts:
Did you know that 60% of what you put on your face gets absorbed by your skin? That’s a lot of chemicals going into your bloodstream! Not a cool thing! Chemicals can cause allergies and even more serious illnesses like cancer.

Why you should go green
Eco-friendly makeup is becoming more popular as time goes by and it’s no surprise why. It’s got natural and/or organic ingredients that are healthy for you and do not send chemicals rushing into your body. Your skin will look brighter and score a healthy glow! Eco makeup is especially good for skin that’s prone to allergies from conventional makeup.

It’s also good for the environment
Eco-friendly makeup is not only better for your health but it does its bit to take care of the environment, too. Many eco brands contain less packaging than conventional ones, meaning that less waste ends up in landfills. Eco-friendly makeup that’s against animal testing makes a big difference in preventing the harm of our beautiful creatures. Brands such as Clinique, Avon and Urban Decay are proudly against animal testing! Yeah!
