Allure Best Of Beauty Award :: Josie Maran Mascara
Green Options — I recently watched a video on Ecostiletto featuring Rachel Sarnoff & Josie Maran dishing on this mascara - in fact, not just chatting about its accolades but actually giving it the onion test. That’s right… the onion test. Translation: taking an everyday onion and chopping it with your eyes wide open. Unless you’re wearing safety goggles or have your eyes shut, this will usually produce streaming tears in the most hardened among us. The conventional mascara was a washout. Josie Maran’s mascara… not a smidge of mascara anywhere except on her lashes! ...

New From John Masters Organics :: Shine On Baby!
Green Options — John Masters can remember a time when 11 or so years ago he hung a sign outside his salon in Manhattan saying that the salon was organic, natural & eco-friendly… and people laughed at how ‘hippy’ he was. How brilliantly just, that he should have the last laugh as one of the world’s most successful and widely respected organic brands. Using only the finest certified organic & natural ingredients combined with an extremely savvy approach to formulation, there is a focus on sustainable, fair trade and conscious business practices that few companies can ...

Healthy, Shiny, Lustrous Colored Locks :: The ACT Naturals Way.
Green Options — I recently wrote about the dangers of convetional and OTC (over the counter) hair dyes under the post, ‘Your Hair Dye Could Be Killing You’. Since then I’ve discovered more and more hair care companies who are taking up the challenge to develop botanical alternatives. Most of these vegetable & plant counterparts don’t actually infiltrate the hair shaft, they coat it with color resulting in less damage, noticibly more shine and stronger hair - not to mention healthier scalp. But the latest and greatest from Advanced Cosmetic Technologies (ACT) ...

John Patrick :: And His Organic, Eco-Sartorial Fabulosity!
Green Options — ... I’m taking a little sojourn from writing about beauty to cover eco-fashion for a minute. Not something I usually do unless particularly relevant, but here’s the scoop… Three days ago, the CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers America) winner was announced and Alexander Wang walked away with the title. That’s not what I’m excited about though. What’s incredible for the world of eco-fashion is that ...

Good For You Girls :: New Skincare Targeting Teens.
Green Options — ... With 800 new beauty products launched last year and a market with increasing value in the billions, I’ve been consistently floored at the glaring gap in products targeted toward young girls & teens. The choices for women have become saturated along with products for babies, not a bad thing when you consider how much impact natural & organic beauty brands are having in the market. However, the category aimed at anyone in between is usually the realm of glittery, plastic, petrochemical, artificial color & flavor, toxic makeup POISON. It’s a nightmare to ...

Beauty Alert :: Popular Moisturizers Linked To Skin Cancer?
Green Options — I wrote about this last year on Organic Beauty View when the news first broke, and since then, there’s been a storm of response from the manufacturers of the brands that were listed - all fiercely defending their million dollar investements, as you’d expect them to. According to Cosmetics Design - Europe, tests were conducted by scientists at Rutgers State University of New Jersey, with the study concluding that applying a number of commercially available moisturising creams (Dermabase, Dermovan, Eucerin or ...

Oliv :: New Organic Skincare From The Son Of L’Occitane Founder.
Green Options — ... Well known for gracing the trays of antipasto everywhere and a regular feature in a vodka martini, the olive has far more illustrious uses than that of sophisticated snack or simple garnish. Olive oil has been used for thousands of years for eating & cooking. And lest no part of this miracle plant go unnoticed, olive leaf extracts are one of nature’s most potent antioxidants - up to 100 times more powerful than echinacea for boosting immunity. You can freeze it, burn it or cut it down, and the Olive Tree always reappears. The leaves stay on olive trees for seven ...

Beat The Heat (and the burn!) :: Summers Best Skin Soothers.
Green Options — ... You may not immediately see the effects of overexposure to the sun. According to scientific studies, the skin actually keeps burning long after your sun exposure has ceased, and in case you forget to cover up and apply sunscreen, the resulting sunburn can be painful as well as dangerous. It may actually take up to 24 hours before the full damage is visible but first-degree sunburns cause redness and will heal, possibly with some peeling, within a few days. These can be painful and are best treated with cool baths and moisturizers, but there are also ingredients such as ...

Zoya Matte Velvet :: A New Trend In Natural Nail Polish.
Green Options — Call me a magpie if you must but I’m a big fan of shine & shimmer. Sure, I’ve long given up those eighties skintight silver leggings worn with a matching silver & gold headband (which I proudly - at the time - made), but whether it’s sequins, glitter or a simple sheen, I’m often overheard oooing and ahhhing over just about anything with luminosity. Kind of unusual then that I’m newly smitten with the new Matte Velvet Nail Polish from Zoya, but they seem just right for the winter/fall season ahead. All the color, ...

Want A Closer, Smoother, Greener Shave? Check Out The New Azor…
Green Options — I’ve been shaving my legs from the millisecond my mother gave me permission to create the smooth, sleek pins I’d always wanted. I’m not divulging how long that is but let’s just say in my vast experience with razors and creams, mens razors are infinitely more well engineered and perform better than their female counterparts. This latest razor, called ‘Azor’ from the King Of Shaves, is no exception, but what I particularly like about it is the careful consideration for the environment in the manufacture & ...

XS Project :: One Persons Trash Is Anothers Treasure.
Green Options — ... Here’s the problem: 80,000 tons of flexible plastic packaging are manufactured each year in Indonesia and for every one ton of manufacturing, there’s thirty tons of waste. The average timespan of a single-use drink container packaged in flexible plastic is only 4 seconds. Because there are no safe disposal methods for flexible plastic, it may accumulate and then sit in a landfill forever. And because there are no traditional recycling techniques for this type of plastic it has little resale market value. Rather than allow this flexible plastic to become potential ...

Because Skincare :: Is Not Just For Your Face.
Green Options — Life is full of guilty pleasures depending on your choice of vices and though I’ve never been a chocolate kinda gal, I do have a penchant for delicious, ridiculously luxurious organic bath + body products. Shamelessly self-indulgent when it comes to self-pampering rituals, I’m a major fan of anything that beautifies my day whether it’s spraying my sheets at night with a sleep inducing, instantly relaxing organic mist, or using an organic shower gel in the morning that kick starts my day with more stimulation than a double ...
