ECO-BEAUTY SHOPPING GUIDE Here are some tips for when you’re shopping for that perfect eco and organic beauty product. 1. Any company can say a product is organic, even if it only has ONE organic ingredient. 2. Avoid titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. These natural ingredients used in powder foundations leave an ashy residue on dark skin. 3. Avoid synthetic fragrances. Choose 100% natural essential oils. 4. Going all natural takes effort. Be dedicated, pay attention to the labels. |
To a new year and an eco-beautiful you!
