That's why my friend (who had breast cancer at 42) and I started Pure Know How - to educate and give solutions to the growing issues of toxins. And don't forget to watch out for greenwashing.

While many fashion designers have embraced sustainability in their work, this sadly cannot be said for professional make-up artists, entrenched using combat ready cosmetics which all models complain about... something needs to change. Jackie Chan threw his hat into the ring, as actors are also fed up turning their skin over to kamikaze make-up artists insistant on using hazardous chemicals! Here are a few links I've gathered: http://www.safecosmetics.org http://cemagazines.com/portal/2005/02/uglypretty.html http://shop.jackiechan.com/store/category?cid=43 http://www.hvhealthyliving.com/article/57 http://books.mcgraw-hill.com/cgi-bin/pbg/searchresult.html?q=0658017934&x=15&y=10 Thanks for this, as I am researching this topic for a friend starting her own make-up line… While many fashion designers have embraced sustainability in their work, this sadly cannot be said for professional make-up artists, entrenched using combat ready cosmetics which all models complain about… something needs to change.

Sometimes their scents are so heavy and make me dizzy. Isn't that awful about Aveda?! What are they thinking???? I found this out a few months ago when I was researching skin products. It is so antithetical to their branding to use parabens etc... I just don't get it. Stella McCartney has a new line of eco-certified organic products. I tried the line. I found some of it very alcohol based and was not very impressed with what it did for my skin. Dr. Hauschka and Jurlique are still two primary lines of skin care I use. I don't spend much money on things anymore, now that I am a mom, but decent skin care products are worth it to me. Something about Burt’s Bees is kind of funky to me.

There are some out there that are safer, but they are usually hard to find and very expensive. I like that I can get Burt's Bees just about anywhere. The few products of theirs that I have been dissappointed in are the raspberry conditioner (it was too runny and didn't cling to my hair) and the carrot day cream (left me too oily) but everything else so far I have loved.
