When Bare Escentuals launched their now famous line of Bare Minerals foundations in 1995, "mineral" makeup was unheard of. Today, entire lines of products boast eco-friendly ingredients, committing to enhance our features along with the environment.

Derived from Greece's oldest homeopathic pharmacy, Korres prides itself on using natural ingredients for both its skincare and cosmetics. What's new? Quercetin & Oak Age-Reversing Makeup Primer – formulated to improve numerous features including texture and tone, fine lines, and cell functioning. A day cream and oil control treatment are also featured in the line.

Emerging from Physicians Formula's Organic Line, both the 2-in-1 Bronzer & Blush and the Face Sculpting Trio brighten, sculpt, and bring life to the skin while remaining 100% free of harsh chemicals, preservatives, parabens, GMO's, synthetic colours and fragrances.

A must for any beauty collection is Josie Maran's Argan Oil. From split ends to acne scars, fine lines to dry cuticles, this "liquid gold" derived from Morocco can be used on the face, body, and in the hair to nourish, condition, and heal past damage. The 100% organic oil absorbs quickly, imparting a glow on the skin and revitalizing dry hair.

Tarte offers vegan, gluten-free, and eco-friendly cosmetics. A must-try? Rejuvelash, designed to eliminate mascara clumps and revive end-of-day lashes, even allowing the addition of another coat when long days turn in to long nights!
