Natural Makeup & Skin Care Products
It always pleases me when I am able to replace a regular product I use every day, with one that is environmentally friendly. I’ve switched the products I use to clean my home, from harsh chemicals to natural products. I use recycled paper towels, refillable water-bottles, and carry eco-totes to the grocery store. And lately, my closet has welcomed pieces from eco-conscious brands.

But sometimes I forget to pay closer attention to the products I use on myself – from lotions & shampoos, to makeup and skincare products. With research and testing discovering that some of these products contain harmful, disease-causing ingredients; it only makes sense to try to find effective replacements. Thankfully, there are tons of eco-friendly and organic products on the market. Many even have streamlined packaging, cutting down on landfill waste. Here are some we’ve tried and love:

Hair Care:
1) Oscar Blondi Dry Shampoo

I am glad you posted these products. It's always good to get a recommendation about what natural products to use that really work!

I have been using the Organic Wear mascara since it was featured in Lucky magazine awhile back. I am a contact lens wearer, and this product does not irritate my eyes at all!

have you tried Jurlique products? They work great without harsh chemicals. I like the eye cream and exfoliator.
