The Body Shop
What we love about The Body Shop is that they have tons of great beauty products that smell and feel ah-mazing. Plus, they are constantly working to make themselves as ecological as possible by minimizing their packaging and electricity usage. They’ve also created wildlife sanctuaries at all of their headquarter sites.

Tarte
When it comes to finding some great-quality makeup that also keeps the planet in mind, Tarte is one of our favorites. With bold pigments and smooth formulas, it covers all of our makeup essentials. What we love even more is that all Tarte Cosmetics contain naturally derived ingredients and are cruelty-free. The company also supports Rainforest cooperatives and works to prevent packaging waste.
