Green Beauty- Your Guide to Natural Products

Similar pages:

From eco-friendly packaging to natural ingredients, beauty is going green. There's a great article called Greener Pastures in the online magazine BeautyAddict. It's all about origin of the term "natural cosmetics" and the benefits of using them. The interesting part of the Natural Beauty realm is that the terms are not regulated. So companies can slap the term "natural" or "organic" on their products to appeal to customers, but the formulas may not live up to thier claims. So when shopping for natural beauty, it's really important to educate yourself on the different types of natural products, and what their claims really mean. Here's a list of the types of natural beauty we sell at Sephora:

ORGANIC
Made from ingredients (70 percent or higher) that are grown without artificial fertilizers, pesticides, or preservatives, these au natural animal or vegetable-based products are gentle and essential for radiant-looking skin. Sephora's organic lines are L'Occitane and Juice Beauty.

PARABEN-FREE
Parabens are a class of chemical preservatives that commonly cause allergic reactions, especially in those with sensitive skin. So before you even think about subjecting yourself to unbearable skin rashes, burning eyes (ouch!), and other irritations, opt for paraben-free products pronto. My paraben-free favorites are Caudalie and Boscia.

HOMEOPATHIC
Based on the theory that like treats like. In skincare speak: that translates to treating oily skin with oil. Formulated from natural ingredients that work in harmony with (not against) your immune system, follow a homeopathic beauty regimen for balanced and beautiful skin … from the inside out. Korres Natural Products is based on these principles.

HOLISTIC
Looks at the skin from a whole body point of view, addressing problems at their source rather than dealing with symptoms. Wondering what’s causing that redness around your nose? Holistic healers (like Dr. Hauschka) delve into the big picture, focusing on lifestyle, stress level, exercise (or lack of it), occupation, and other outside factors that could be the cause. Dr. Hauschka has pioneered this field in skincare.
