Organic make-up is becoming increasingly popular as an alternative to the products many women use for their skin every day. Makeup often contains chemicals that can irritate the skin, but certified organic products avoid parabens and other commonly used preservatives.
Certified organic products are also ethically purchased and produced, and often free of animal testing, making them a little expensive, but a better investment in the long run for yourself and the environment.
We have listed 8 certified products:
