Conscious beauty - makeup
25
items With my 15+ years experience in the green beauty sphere, (shared on IG and on smellslikeagreenspirit.com), I am highlighting those that stand out. Skin-friendly formulas, great ethos, formulas void of controversial ingredients, eco-friendly packaging, cruelty-free, vegan. There's something for everyone. Most brands will be indie. (exceptions may apply for ex. RMS and Ilia).
