Ecco Bella Makeup: Socially conscious, environmentally sound cosmetics.
About Ecco Bella Makeup
Ecco Bella Makeup is quite different from the average makeup brands you'll usually find in department store aisles. This cosmetics line puts its principles where its product is, bringing you a completely natural beauty line that is not only good for you, but good for the Earth as well.
Environmentally Conscious
Most commercial cosmetics are mainly derived from a cocktail of petrochemical formulas which can be harsh on your skin. Mineral oils, and propylene glycol tend to clog your pores instead of delivering the moisturization they promise, and alcohol can dry out your skin, leaving it red and irritated. Ecco Bella Makeup never uses these petroleum by-products, so it does not contribute to the environmental problems that are sometimes caused by the oil industry.
The Ecco Bella Makeup line is created by using only the finest grade botanicals to create foundations and colors that leave you looking naturally beautiful.
The beneficial affects of Aloe Vera on you skin have been well documented, and so Aloe is a mainstay of the Ecco Bella line, and any other oils used must certified organic and pure to be included in the formulas.
Natural minerals are also used, providing a foundation base that won't melt with humidity, but instead actually forms a protective barrier against harmful UV rays.
Ultimately, the real beauty secret behind this natural cosmetics line is the use of flower wax. Have you ever noticed how rain and dew always tends to "pill" on flower petals instead of saturating them? That is because each petal is coated in a layer of thin, delicate wax that forms a protective barrier over the flower. Without it, the blooms would quickly mildew and wilt. Flower wax is good for your skin too, creating a layer of protection that keeps your natural moisture from bleeding through your makeup, so you look fresh longer.
Socially Conscious
Ecco Bella Makeup believes in being socially conscious as well. Their cosmetics are vegan, which means absolutely no animal by-products are used in their formulas. Animal lovers will be gratified to know that no animal testing is performed during the manufacture of this makeup either, so you can rest assured that your beauty does not cause another living creature's pain.
Socially and Environmentally Conscious
The company is currently running a recycling program that will ultimately benefit school children. Ecco Bella will take five of your old lipstick tubes, and give you a free tube of their own fabulous lip color. Then, the old lipstick tubes will be recycled into basketball back boards that will be donated to schools across the country. The list of participating stores is extensive, so you'll likely find a drop-off somewhere near you.
Conclusion
Ecco Bella Makeup offers you a chance to use high quality cosmetics that don't harm your skin or the environment, and the fact that they are also cruelty-free is an added bonus. If you feel strongly about the Earth we live on, and our fellow creatures, these cosmetics give you the opportunity to put your convictions into daily practice. Then you can be as beautiful on the outside as you are on the inside.
