Being mindful of Mother Nature shouldn’t only happen on Earth Day, but it’s a good time to start! This year in addition to turning off your lights and recycling, revamp your vanity with eco-friendly skincare.
OSEA Malibu skincare founder Jenefer Palmer is a beauty expert and an advocate for safe, healthy, environmentally friendly cosmetic ingredients. She shares why it’s important to be green.
Be Natural
When synthetic ingredients are created there is also waste created. The cosmetics industry is introducing new synthetic ingredients at an alarming rate. The Earth is full of nutrients, minerals, enzymes, and vitamins, which provide everything we need to feed our skin!
Go Simple
Your best bet is to keep your beauty routine simple and beneficial, for yourself and our planet.
I’m a minimalist. I cleanse with OSEA’s Ocean Cleanser and then hydrate with our Atmosphere Protection Cream.
How To Start
I understand it’s often not practical to completely replace all of your cosmetics. I would first toss out most of your lipsticks because you’re ingesting those synthetic ingredients into your body. Get a cleaner brand that has a natural base. Purchasing a multi-use product acting as a tint for both your lips and cheeks is a great way to save money and reduce your environmental footprint.
Choosing more natural beauty products will keep our internal and external beauty ecologies flourishing.
Get In The Know
Make sure to read all labels carefully. Beware of companies that use deceptive language known as “Green Washing.” Because there is little FDA oversight of the cosmetics industry, a company may take advantage of one or more of the many loopholes in Federal oversight in order to slap the words natural or organic on a label when in reality, the product might contain little or no organic or natural ingredients.
