Some of the make-up/beauty companies have actually begun to become eco-friendly. They are using packaging that is recyclable/biodegradable. Also, their manufacturing companies are offsetting their carbon emissions by using recyclable materials when they manufacture their products.
These companies are: Burt's Bees, Aveda, Nude Skin Care, Paul Michael's Tea Tree, Louise Galvin's Sacred Locks (haircare), The Body Shop and Stem Organics (skincare).
Each of these companies are currently using more natural products in their line. Along with making them without preservatives or chemicals. This protects our environment and our health.
The two safest companies' products, listed above, at this time are Paul Michael's Tea Tree and Stem Organics. Below I have placed a link to a site called skin deep where you can check on your cosmetics to see how dangerous the chemicals are to you for that particular cosmetic.
Also, there are still many beauty/cosmetic companies out there that are exposing us to who-knows-what since they don't have to list everything on cosmetic labels. So please read the following statement (from the petition). If you agree please sign the petition to make our products safer.
Due to gaping loopholes in federal law, companies can put virtually any ingredient into personal care products. Even worse, the government does not require pre-market safety tests for any of them.
This is unacceptable. Sign the Environmental Working Group's petition to Congress to turn this around and make personal care products safe.
Sign the petition now:

True Beauty:
Your True Beauty Lies Within.
A person's true beauty resides within them. However, it shines through to the world in their eyes, their smile, their gestures, humanity and their goodwill towards other people, their social attitude and the world around them. Try walking around and saying "Hello or Good Morning" to everyone you meet for just one morning. Watch those that acknowledge you and smile or just nod. Not only do they smile with their mouths but their eyes light up and smile back too. That's the true beauty of that person shining through. As they are wishing you a great day, they are also giving you a part of them to carry with you through your day too.
Even a person who weighs more than someone else can be more beautiful if he or she has a beautiful soul that shines outward to all those around them. It's not the way a person looks on the outside that reflects the true self of that person. It's what's inside that person's soul that reflects what is their true beauty. It's also that person's attitude that reflects what is beneath the surface. Attitude belies the persons inner soul. Only those people who are shallow will allow themselves to be attracted by someone because of what they look like on the outside. In those cases they may end up with someone that is not who they truly want. They could get someone who is selfish and self-centered and not very caring. In the end a person could be very disappointed that they settled for the other person due to what they felt was beauty on the outside instead of looking for the beauty on the inside.
That is why you must truly look for the true soul of a person's beauty on the inside to find the right person that you are seeking. I have had my ups and downs in the weight department from skinny to heavy all my life. Either way the most important compliment a man has ever given me, no matter what I weighed at the time, was "I love your smile and your eyes tell me you are have a kind soul." That tells me that a person who is truly looking for the true beauty of a person must look beyond the body of the person that's on the outside.
You must look into the depths of the person on the inside. For that's where you will find the beauty that you seek. For true beauty lies within. There are no ifs ands or buts about it.
