As you may have guessed, green is the new black. More and more cosmetic companies are making sure they manufacture earth friendly products. By providing eco friendly products, they are winning a new wave of consumers. They are promising more earthy friendly packaging and recyclable containers. In addition, most are adjusting their formulation methods by not including such things as sulfates, synthetic fragrances, synthetic dyes, Petro-Chemicals, and Phthalates.
