Add Shine and Shimmer to Your Lips the Natural Way

Gwendolyn Taylor
Wanting to boost the appearance of your lips without all of the synthetic and unknown ingredients? Below are a few tips on earth friendly lip glosses that not only benefit you, but the environment as well. Not only do most of them cost the same or less than regular merchandised synthetically made lip glosses, but some even are comprised of organic ingredients and are housed in packaging made from post consumer and recycled material.

Health Brands
Yes To Carrots and Burt's Bees are well known among the health beauty products realm and there is a reason why they are so popular. Burt's Bees has a decent selection of lip glosses available made of natural ingredients. Yes To Carrots, although a much younger brand compared to Burt's Bees, has a better selection and offers more glossier tinted versions that would suit for any occasion. The attribute that Yes To Carrots has over Burt's Bees is that most of htier products are also made with certified organic ingredients. Both Burt's Bees and yes To Carrots products can be found with online retailers, health food stores, specialty beauty supply stores, and select mass merchandise stores such as Target. Other health beauty brands such as Kiss My Face and Alba also offer earth friendly lip glosses.

Mass Market Brands
Brands such as Neutrogena and Physician's Formula have also come out with their own versions of natural lip glosses. The downside of them all is that they are not all natural. Most of their products are 90% or less comprised of natural ingredients and still cost a lot more than other mass marketed cosmetic brands. It also depends on consumer preference as well. If one has been associating these brands with other key results (such as "makeup for oil prone skin" or "medicated") then to see these as completely all natural products is also unlikely.

Specialty Brands
Tarte is cosmetic brand known for its natural beauty products. With a wide variety of lip gloss colors and types, you will bound to be able find a favorite. Tarte Cosmetics products can be purchased via their online website and through specialty beauty supply stores such as UTLA. Bare Escentuals is a very popular brand in the beauty world with its boast of mineral comprised and natural ingredients beauty products. Bare Escentuals offers lip gloss varieties in individual, combinations, and gift packs. Buyers beware though, Bare Escentuals product pricings tend to run in the higher range, so you could easily get a natural equivalent for a much better price with the other brands mentioned.
