Not only are conventional cosmetics made with petroleum products, most also contain harmful chemicals that you don’t want anywhere near your skin, much less your eyes or your mouth.  Here are a few companies that can give you the green without the mean.

They have spent so long trying to sell women on fake science that greenwashing is the next logical step.  Don’t buy it unless you’ve researched the ingredients.
