You most likely already heard the names of the big players in the organic lipstick market, such as NveyEco, Dr. Hauschka, Logona, etc… And I promise to do a detailed post about these big players in the very near future.
But today I figured it’s time to spotlight a few lesser known brands. To boost their potential, so to speak.
And what interested me about all of them, is their commitment to organic. These are really pure natural and organic lipsticks. Most of them are certified organic by third parties and therefore have to keep up their game.
So, without further ado, here we go:
Jasmin Certified Organic Lipstick
Jasmin is an Australian company dedicated to bringing a complete range of organic skin care and makeup products. All their products are certified organic by the Organic Food Chain, which is the Australian Government Accredited Agency. The OFC logo is only permitted if the number of organic ingredients in the product is or exceeds 95%. This is not your average “made with Organic Ingredients” claim. This is saying something real. All Jasmin products contain at least 95% organic ingredients. Many even more. And all are 100% natural.
GreenPeople Certified Organic Lipstick
This is the first UK certified organic lipstick, and it boasts no less than 99% certified organic plant-derived ingredients. Winner of Natural Health Beauty Awards 2008 this healthy and gorgeous lipsmucker is naturally free from petrochemicals, synthetic colourants and preservatives and comes in three shimmering colors – Red Shimmer, Glitzy Bronze and Soft Pink.
Hemp Organics Lipstick
Available in 32 different colours these lipsticks are made with Hemp Seed Oil and Organic Beeswax. These are free of petroleum, wheat and gluten (for those with sensitivities) and are made in USA. These lipstick are 95% or more organic. They also manufacture Karma Gloss (a 97% organic lip gloss) that can be applied on top for glossier look.
Primitive Lipstick
There is nothing primitive about these lipsticks. Completely natural selection without any petroleum derivatives or nano sized minerals. They come in 8 colors. Though it seems to only be available from select online retailers, most of them are eager to send very cheap samples so you can test these for yourself.
Miessense Organic Lipsticks
Miessense is a certified organic brand of skin care and makeup products. These lipsticks are certified by the Biological Farmers of Australia and therefore contain (excluding water and salt) at least 70% organic plant ingredients. There are no synthetics in these products – all the makeup is plant and mineral based. Miessense is distributed through representatives. You will find many of their websites online. Nine natural looking colors are available in this range.
Perfect Organics Vegan Lip and Cheek Shimmers
There are seven lovely shades of these vegan organic lipsticks for you to explore. Doubling as a chick shimmer these come in natural shades and are free of toxic offenders. Though not certified, the ingredients are completely natural, and the company is a signatory of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics. Smooth and glossy, these are recommended by the National Geographic’s green guide.
Now these should get you started on an off-the-beaten-path organic beauty quest, don’t you think?
