Going “green” doesn’t just mean weather-proofing your house. Use any of these earthy make-ups with good conscience.

Like everything else, make-up seems to be getting a “green” makeover. For far too long, our favorite eye shadows, lipsticks and eyeliners have been riddled with artificial ingredients, potentially dangerous chemicals with mysterious names we can’t even pronounce. In fact, scientists have recently called attention to the dangers of phthalates — a common ingredient in nail polish and many fragrances. Phthalates act like fake estrogen, leading to higher risks of breast cancer among women and potentially compromising the health of a fetus while in the womb. Even lead has been a main ingredient of lipstick for years. So protect yourself and the environment by trying any of these natural, eco-friendly make-ups.
