Organic Cosmetics

There is a lot of talk about eco-friendly, organic, vegan cosmetic products. What do these new "buzz"words mean? Well it means consumers have to do their research. It seems that there is a demand for these products from "soft green" to green life devotee's. Regardless I think in whatever way we each want to do our part. This seems true of the Cosmetic industry. A lot of companies are trying to be the first to market with the highest certification.



There is however an established product line from Germany "Lavera Cosmetics" that has Skincare, Make up and Hair care all European certified. So far the European standards are the highest, most recognizable certification. North America a long with other international countries are working to make an internationally recognizable certification.



Until then if you are interested in Organic, Eco-friendly, Natural products with a beautiful texture and color pallet try Lavera. Until recently it was only available at natural retailers like Whole Foods or Caper's but now is also available at London Drugs in Western Canada.
