5 Great Organic Eyeshadows

Environmental concerns have changed the way that we view the things around us. Knowing that chemicals and pollutants can be absorbed through the skin should make every woman rethink her beauty routine. If you are concerned about pollutants, carcinogens, irritants, and other harmful toxins in your environment, you should take a good look at your makeup bag. The beauty products that you are applying to your face could contain any of these. Eye makeup worries me the most, since it gets in your eyes all the time.

Organic and environmentally friendly beauty products are available, and competition is driving them to create better products. Here are five great organic eyeshadow products for you to consider.

FIVE Great Organic Eyeshadows:

NVEY Eco Organic Eye Shadow: These organic eye shadows retail for $24 and come in great colors. They are a little pricey, but nice and smooth. Availabe at the NVEY Organic website, or as a part of Sephora's organic makeup collection if you like to shop there.

Green People Organic Eye Makeup Palettes: These organic eyeshadows are made without parabens, bismuth oxychloride, petrochemicals, phthalates and synthetic colorants. They are made in the UK and available online. They have a wide range of organic beauty products, including lotions, toothpaste, and makeup.

Physician's Formula Organic Eyewear Duos: Available in department stores and not as costly as other organic makeup. They claim to be:

100% Free of Harsh Chemicals. 100% Free of Synthetic Preservatives. 100% Free of Parabens. 100% Free of GMO's. 100% Free of Synthetic Colors. 100% Free of Synthetic Fragrances. 100% Cruelty Free. Safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.

Organic Mineral Eyeshadows: If you like buying from home crafters and small businesses, look for organic mineral eyeshadow on sites like etsy. Most mineral makeup is organic, and many people mix and sell their own color collections online. This is a fun and cheap way to get a good organic color collection started.

Lavera Organic Eyeshadow: At $22 for an eyeshadow duo, the price is a little steep, but Laver's natural makeup is simple and stylish. There is not a great variety of color, but each organic duo makes a good work look for the office. Here is their product description:

Lavera Organic Mineral Eye Shadow brightens your eyes naturally and sets stunning accents. Pure, luminous shades compliment every complexion and skin-tone beautifully! Earth-pure minerals deliver beautiful highlights while all natural hydrating Organic Calendula & Jojoba provide protection and moisture for the most sensitive eyes.
