Have you ever paused to think about what’s in your makeup? If you take a closer look at your makeup’s ingredients, you’ll probably find a lot of harmful chemicals and substances that aren’t great for our skin. Not to mention that the skin on our lips is thin and can easily absorb chemicals and synthetic ingredients.
When it comes to lipgloss, some contain mineral oils that fail to have many benefits for your skin, and can actually deprive it of nutrients, and are toxic to the environment. Mineral oils, however, are not to be confused with minerals, which can be a healthy alternative ingredient.
With a clean beauty in mind, organic lip gloss is fast becoming the choice for women who are concerned about toxic ingredients in their cosmetics. A certified organic lip gloss will give your smile a subtle lip color and also a little shine without the toxins.
Here’s a roundup of some of the best cruelty-free organic lip gloss brands that contain natural recipes such as plant-based butter, fruit pigments, and antioxidants to nourish your lips and give you the color and shine you want.
