BANG FOR THE BITE

 

 

 

Similar in price and

quality as conventional versions, natural makeup helps you to give the earth a

hand while prepping for your close-up.

 

 

 

 

 

COCKTAIL FACTOID

 

 

The ancient Greeks

were even riskier - they used makeup containing lead and mercury.

Wanna give good face without the parabens?

The Bite

As many-a-Biter knows, parabens are synthetic preservatives that can disrupt hormones - and they're everywhere, even your makeup bag. Next time you primp, use paraben-free cosmetics for gorgeousness inside and out.

 

The Benefits

 

Get glam. These cosmetics look fab - freedom from parabens is an added

bonus.

Better for Biter

bodies.

Cosmetics ingredients aren't regulated by the FDA, so you gotta take extra

precautions on what your largest organ (yeah, your skin) consumes.

Better for the earth, since the chems that we wash off

our bodies often end up in nature.

 

Personally Speaking

A self-proclaimed cosmetics

junkie, Heather scans new beauty finds at Skin Deep, an online

database of skin care and cosmetic products ranked by safety.
