Beware of Greenwashing!

Eco-Chick posted about the dangers of Greenwashing in Beauty Products. So many companies now are claiming to have "green" or "natural" or "organic" products and it's just not true.
Many of them include products that are irritants, synthetic or animal-based and carcinogens. It's important to check before purchasing to make sure that what you are buying actually lives up to the standard they are claiming.

Check the Cosmetic Safety Database to see how natural or organic your products really are!

Some companies are really making an effort to maintain their standards. Check out Burt's Bees, Kiss my Face or these natural supply stores: Beautorium, Futurenatural, Kaia House
