Women in the US apply an average of 168 chemicals, including endocrine disruptors, carcinogens and neurotoxins, to their faces and bodies every day, according to non-profit Environmental Working Group. They also found carcinogenic ingredients in one of every 120 cosmetic products that are freely available in the market, like shampoos, lotions, foundations, and lip balm.
Youth Elixir Liquid Foundation
This foundation comes in 10 shades and smells deliciously of vanilla ice cream. With its base made with Aloe Barbadensis (the most nourishing of over 200+ species of Aloe Vera), it has a gelish-cream texture and blends beautifully into the skin. I needed just half a pump of product for a flawless, natural coverage.
Dusk to Dawn Liquid Liner
A good eyeliner coupled with a modicum of skill, can make even the teeniest eyes look large and doll-like. Unfortunately my eye makeup skills are non-existent and no matter how many YouTube tutorials I watch, I just can’t seem to master the art of the perfect cat-eye. This is why I mostly stay away from eye makeup except for a few lashings of mascara.
It’s also free of harmful heavy metals like lead, mercury and carbon, important ingredients to avoid since a lifetime of blindness is not worth even the best cateye.
Color-Intense Liquid Lipstick
Lipstick is my thing. Also, because I suck at eye makeup, I tend to over compensate when it comes to my lips. Unlike most liquid lipsticks that can be quite drying, this formula with its coconut oil and shea butter is nourishing on the lips and the the red shade I tested out was absolutely stunning. While I personally prefer matte lipsticks, this glossy shade is very beautiful and felt really comfortable on my lips.
Unlike many greenwashed products on the market that are labelled as organic and natural, but only use less than 10% of natural and/or organic ingredients, Liht Organics contain USDA-certified organic ingredients, zero nanoparticles or harmful chemicals, and is most importantly vegan and cruelty-free.
