Getting started:
Don't be overwhelmed by all of the information out there. Instead, think about the things that are important to you.

Start with products that match your core values, and expand your purchasing decisions from there.
sustainable beauty Q and A
Q. Will eco-friendly products work as well as the products I currently use?A. Just as with any conventional product, you must find which eco-friendly products are right for you. Depending on your skin type, budget, and other factors that motivate your buying decisions, sampling and information is key. Every cosmetic and skin care outlet that sells these products has helpful sales associates, and in some cases, fully trained technicians who can help you decide what is right for you. By making the decision to go with organic or natural products, you are reducing the chance of allergic reactions or harmful side effects from chemically-produced products.
