Patch Picks: Earth Day Beauty

Multi-Grain Bronzer (Origins, $20)

Fortified with finely-milled grains of oats, soy, Tapioca, and rice flour, this lush powder gives skin a sun-kissed, natural glow. With Vitamins C and E, skin is also protected against sun-damage. What we love even more about this bronzer- it’s oil and fragrance free, perfect for sensitive skin and won’t clog pores.

FYI: Stop by your local on April 22 with any empty cosmetic container (the store will recycle it for you) and get a free A Perfect World Antioxidant Cleanser (retails for $20) or Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash (retails for $18.50).

More Moisture Raspberry & Brazil Nut Shampoo (Burt’s Bees, $8)

Not only is this shampoo 98 percent natural, but we also can’t get enough of the rich earthy smell (who doesn’t love fruit?).  This plant-based cleaner is rich in Omega-3, leaving hair uber shiny. With raspberry and nut extracts, strands are protected from sun damage and every-day wear-and-tear, resulting in a silky soft and moisturized mane.

C Me Shine Lip Gloss (Yes To Carrots, $6.49)

Made with coconut, jojoba, sunflower oils and Shea butter, these lip glosses (in flirty names like Red Hot and Carrot Kiss) will add the perfect amount of shine to your smackers. Certified by the Natural Products Association, these glosses are 95 percent organic and paraben and carmine free. The results? A radiant, moisturized smile, minus the sticky-slick coverage that other lip glosses leave behind.

Sea Algae Enzyme Scrub (Alba, $9.95)

Made with walnut shell powder and sunflower oil, this powerhouse scrub stimulates skin cells, while cleansing and softening. Infused with five algae extracts and sea enzymes, this scrub takes dull, dry skin and leaves it glowing, smoother, and more uniformed. We love that it’s perfect for all skin types and can be used up to four times per week. 

Organic Wear Jumbo Lash Mascara (Physicians Formula, $9.95)

Once we spotted the green case that's shaped like a leaf, we were sold on this eco product. This mascara is made with 100 percent natural origin ingredients, 47 percent of which comes from organic farming. Such ingredients like OrganiSoy help nourish lashes while Eco-Olive shields lashes from harsh elements. For a more dramatic look, we recommend the Ultra Black Organics Mascara, perfect for a night out. Fragrance free and hypoallergenic, even the most sensitive eyes can rejoice with this product.
