Some of you may be wondering, what exactly is the point of organic lipstick? Well for starters, many lip products on the market are filled with parabens, artificial colors, fragrances, lead and other harsh chemicals, which when used for prolonged periods of time can pose certain risks. In addition, supporting organic lipstick and other natural products is better for the environment, which helps create a healthier living space for everyone in it.

When looking for an organic lipstick, be sure to check the label to see whether or not the product actually contains any artificial ingredients, added colors and if it is minimally processed. Be aware that just because a product may say that it is organic on the label that may not necessarily be the case. There are several tiers of organic labeling. A hundred percent organic means that the products have been made entirely with certified organic ingredients. If the label mentions that the product has been made with organic ingredients, this means that the product has less than seventy percent organic ingredients. Some good organic lipstick brands to try include Nvey Eco Cosmetics and Lavera Trend Organic.
