I can’t buy organic cosmetic since I’m not rich. There are such wonderful organic cosmetics at my local health food store but everything cost $15 or more. There’s no way I can buy an eyeliner, lipgloss, foundation,and eyeshadow for 15 dollars each plus tax. I would not be able to pay my bills.

Hi!

I’ve used certain organic products for YEARS now. Organic shampoos and conditioners put an end to my dermatitis and organic creams helped my acne-proned skin. It’s not just a trend but a very positive change in everyday habits.
Good organic make-up is harder to find. I like Lavera products and mineral make-up (only *pure*, not the stuff by Rimmel, L’Oreal and such).

Just like in Germany, organic products in Italy have to be certified. “Green”, “natural” and similar adjectives alone don’t mean anything

Hi Donna, thank you for that! It is not easy for you though (in the US I mean) as you do not have a proper control instance. I can read in the comments also some rather (sorry to say) ignorant opinios e.g. when there is animal testing for the products, well, you cannot change it. If you would say that somewhere in Europe people will stone you. At least it is not really funny and animal testing is really unnecessary for cosmetical products at least. andreea´s last blog post..Umsatzzuwachs für BEIERSDORF trotz Konjunkturflaute

I buy organic products, but I buy my stuff in its natural form such as shea butter, aloe vera oil, and such.

Products that I can use on my hair and skin without having to deal with any other chemicals. With that said, you do still have to research even organic hair and skin products for that matter especially if you have an allergy to plant products.

You can’t get away from allergens, but you can be in control of what toxins are being put into your body, by what you eat, use in your hair, or even what you put on your skin. You just have to be informed.

I did try several natural, organic and eco products a while a ago and they simply don’t work for me. Then again, most skin care doesn’t work for me, except RoC, Valmont and Sisley. I found that they aren’t as moisturizing as for example Biotherm or Chanel skin care and applying makeup on them was a nightmare. And I’m never ever going to buy something from small and indie skin care companies who obviously don’t have the resurces and money to to serious research and testing. Too many allergic reactions and irritations that I never experienced with any drugstore or high-end brands.
