Many of us strive to live more simply, more naturally, and to minimize our environmental footprint. Fortunately, many businesses understand the value that so many consumers place on being eco-friendly and have worked to develop all-natural cosmetics to suit this growing trend. Many makeup brands have caught on to this new way of living. It is much easier today to find natural and “green” makeup products. Here are some of our favorite natural cosmetics that are good for your skin. These makeup brands use pure, organic, earth-friendly ingredients and never test their products on animals.

The company uses only healthy, natural, and ethically sourced ingredients in all of their all-natural cosmetics.
