Fresh Face, Clean Planet: Eco-Friendly Beauty :

Aug 25, 2007

What was once a buzzword for environmentalists, â€śeco-friendlyâ€ť has now moved into the mainstream and is picking up some serious pace. The buzz started with all-natural and organic foods, moved to clothes and now has hit the beauty product market.

So what is all the rage about?

Well, a product that is eco-friendly is made without pesticides so harmful chemicals don't leak into the soil, into your product and, consequently, onto your face.

When you're healthy on the inside, it shows on the outside. eDiets offers a choice of 24 super diets, so no matter your preferences, we have a diet to fit YOUR needs. To give us a try, simply click here to fill out a free profile and start looking more beautiful today!

Most eco-friendly products are organic -- not made using ingredients treated with pesticides, synthetic fertilizers or genetically modified organisms -- but be sure to look for a USDA-certified 95-percent organic seal. If there's no seal, I recommend checking out the list of ingredients. If you find words you canâ€™t pronounce, then chances are the product is not organic. You might be surprised that major companies arenâ€™t the ones creating some of the best eco-friendly beauty products. For instance, Dr. Hauschkaâ€™s holistic skin and body care products are made without preservatives, and are even packaged in eco-friendly boxes.

According to their philosophy, they â€śchoose every plant and mineral ingredient based on its individual effects and the way it interacts with other ingredients, as well as whether it came from an ecologically and ethically sound source.â€ť Our favorite product is their all-natural suncare protection made with avocado and macadamia nut.

Yves Rocher is also creating fabulous natural products. They use more than 150 active plant ingredients to create some of their products. Even their factory is a â€śgreen building,â€ť conserving energy and enforcing policies for a quality environment while reducing waste. And despite what you might think about eco-friendly products, these products are very affordable! One of their best sellers, the Laotian Lotus shower gel , is only $3.
