Earth-Friendly Cosmetics Packaging More Common, Still Tempting

Physicians Formula's OrganicWear line is sold in completely recyclable packaging, from the paper compact holders to the corn-based brush handles. Sephora is offering a "Pure Palette" of 95% natural ingredients, and at least 10% organic ingredients. It comes in a compact made of sustainable bamboo and recycleable metal.
The latest cosmetic temptation to catch my eye is the Mother Earth Palette from Smashbox. It's has four subtle and versatile eyeshadows that are certified-organic, as well as a peachy blush that will compliment most skin shades.
The compact is made from sustainable materials, and for each purchase Smashbox will plant a tree through Trees for the Future, a global non-profit that dedicated to sustainable agroforestry. You can take home this sweet, limited edition palette at Sephora for $45.
While you're shopping for "green" makeup, check out some other Smashbox products that have earned the Sephora natural seal, like:
- O-GLOW -- a cheek color with Goji Berry-C complex and pomegranate seed
- Bionic Mascara -- ionic mascara that contains aloe, silk and wheat proteins to make your lashes long and healthy
- Photo Finish Lipstick with Sila-Silk Technology -- super smooth, silky, long wearing and organic
