James asks…
Where do you buy eco-friendly make-up?
I’m not able to buy products online, so are there any stores where you can purchase eco–friendly products? i.e.; Walmart, Target, etc.,
The Expert answers:
Most department stores don’t carry non toxic cosmetics. Whole foods carries several brands of earth friendly and non toxic cosmetics, Aveda also has stores in many malls.
Cosmetics aren’t regulated by the FDA, so manufacturers can put just about anything in them without putting it on the lable. There are a variety of chemicals, carcinogens and hormones in many brands, so it is best to see what is in what you are using. Dont’ be fooled by labels either, “all natural” isn’t regulated either.
Thomas asks…
Isn’t considered misleading to label products as environmentally-friendly, eco-friendly, natural, all-plant?
based ingredients when sodium lauryl sulfate and mineral oil is added? Not to mention the first ingredients? Even if it’s laundry detergent, green products aren’t to contain sodium lauryl sulfate and mineral oil.
The Expert answers:
It could possibly still be environmentally friendly compared to the alternatives. For example, if someone were to make an effective drain cleaner (e.g., Drano) with nothing worse than SLS and mineral oil, that would be a step forward. More likely, though, you are right: it is green washing.
I would go even farther to say that companies that sell full-strength (not concentrated) cleaners in plastic containers, even if they use certified organic plants as the only ingredients, are also greenwashing.
