Earth Day 2012, Sensible Six Beauty Products: Hair, Skin, & Nails




This slideshow shows my top six favorite hair, skin, and nail products that are considered sensible for Earth Day. Some of them are natural and some of them are eco-friendly, but all of them are just plain smart. Click through the photographs to see each product and learn more about them!

The Safer Nail Polish: Zoya Nail Lacquer



Zoya Nail Lacquer is toluene, formaldehyde, and dibutyl phthalate free. Using safer nail polish allows you to paint your nails as often as you'd like without worrying about harsh chemicals or irritants, especially if you're pregnant.

The Zoya Badge of Safety



Zoya is considered a safe and healthy polish for pregnant moms and smart women worldwide. This is also great if you have children, such as teenagers, and would prefer them to use safer nail lacquer.

Zoya Beach Collection - Summer 2012



The six-piece Zoya Beach Collection for summer 2012 features bright hues for pretty fingers and toes! I love that this collection mixes brights with pastels.

Zoya Surf Collection - Summer 2012



The Zoya Surf Collection for summer 2012 features shimmering, metallic versions of the previous "Beach Collection." The colors are very similar except that these have a ton of gorgeous shimmer in them.

The Natural Cleanser: Simple Moisturizing Facial Wash



This cleanser contains no perfumes or dyes, as well as vital vitamins and nutrients that your skin needs. If your skin is sensitive or you would prefer to use a face wash with as few additives as possible, this is a great option!

Simple Moisturizing Facial Wash



I stumbled across this face wash in my local drugstore, which happens to be a skincare brand from the United Kingdom. Since this product contains no perfumes or dyes, it is super gentle on your skin.

<center><u><strong>The Natural Shampoo & Conditioner in One: L'oreal EverCreme Cleansing Conditioner</center></u></strong>

The Natural Shampoo & Conditioner in One: L'oreal EverCreme Cleansing Conditioner



This brand new product is a shampoo and a conditioner in one. It contains no sulfate, which often only further dries out your hair. This is a low-lathering formula that you place on your scalp and hair, massage in, and then rinse out.

L'oreal EverCreme Cleansing Conditioner



This product not only saves time, but it also saves your hair. The sulfate-free product keeps your hair from dying out, especially if your hair is coarse, curly, or color-treated. I really love this new product and have noticed a huge difference in my hair!

<center><u><strong>The All-Natural Makeup Primer: Reviva Labs Makeup Primer</center></u></strong>

The All-Natural Makeup Primer: Reviva Labs Makeup Primer



Makeup primer is a must-have for applying underneath foundation and/or concealer. This product will fill in lines, conceal pores, and control excess oil. Most makeup primer's break my skin out, but this all-natural formula leaves your skin prepped and primed, smooth as can be, for makeup.

Reviva Labs Makeup Primer



The ingredients in this makeup primer include Vitamin A, Vitamin D3, Olive Oil, and Coenzyme Q10. There are no harsh ingredients like silicone in it which tends to cause breakouts.

<center><u><strong>The Sea Moisturizer: Gabriel Cosmetics Seaweed Nourishing Moisturizer</center></u></strong>

The Sea Moisturizer: Gabriel Cosmetics Seaweed Nourishing Moisturizer



This moisturizer is formulated for normal to combination skin, and is super protective for your skin. With blue green algae from the sea and rose hip seed oil, it will smooth your skin and prevent aging.

<center><u><strong>Global Inspired Natural Beauty: Bella Lucce Tropical Hawaiian Fruit Peel</center></u></strong>

Global Inspired Natural Beauty: Bella Lucce Tropical Hawaiian Fruit Peel



Bella Lucce is a globally inspired spa and beauty company that creates products from nature around the world. This company has been featured in Vegetarian Times for their cruelty-free, natural products. Every product feels so luxurious and brings the spa to your home. Also, the owner and company is from Columbia, South Carolina, where I reside!

Bella Lucce Tropical Hawaiian Fruit Peel



The beautiful packaging is only half of the luxury. This face peel comes in powder form, which you then mix with some water or warm milk. The attached spa fan brush helps you apply the product. This product can be used on the face and on the body.

This peel has natural vitamins and enzymes harvested from tropical coconuts, mangoes, papayas, and pineapples. This will purify your skin and transport you to a tropical place. Plus, having the product in powder form means it will last you for a very long time!

Natural Cosmetics Lookbook: Gabriel Cosmetics, ZuZu Luxe Lipstick, “Allure,” & “Truth or Dare” Swatches

Filed under: Brands,Categories,Gabriel Cosmetics,Lips,Lookbook,Reviews,Type

ZuZu Luxe is a sub-brand of Gabriel Cosmetics, a 100% all-natural cosmetics brand formulated with no synthetic chemicals or animal byproducts. Created by Gabriel DeSantino, this line was inspired by Gabriel watching his grandmother as a child in Mexico formulate homeopathic remedies, while still maintaining the most youthful, unlined skin he had seen. ZuZu Luxe Lipstick is gluten-free, and lead-free, providing moisture and smooth, long-lasting color. As a long-term vegetarian, I am very pleased that this line has no animal byproducts, and does not test on animals. Even further, however, I have been going out of my way to purchase and support 100% all natural cosmetic brands. The idea of lipstick containing lead just grosses me out, and I am more than happy to support Gabriel Cosmetics. To see photographs and swatches of these two gorgeous lipsticks, read more…
