All About Organic Eyeshadow

When looking at the ingredients list of the most popular eyeshadow, there is an ongoing trend of using ingredients with very long names that are complicated and normally hard to pronounce. What exactly do they mean and why are they in your eyeshadow? The simple answer is that most major brands have tons of unnatural and harsh chemicals in them. These chemicals over time can be absorbed by the skin and cause health problems as well as immediate skin irritation when applied. Why would anyone want to deal with that, especially when there is certified organic eyeshadow out there?

Organic eyeshadow is going to be using completely different ingredients without the long names and that weren't created in a lab synthetically. Instead, certified organic eyeshadow producers are going to source all or most of their ingredient right from Mother Nature, with healthier options such as plant-based ingredients like aloe, essentials oils, vitamins, and even gluten-free ingredients. And if it is certified, that means even the packaging is going to be environmentally friendly and won't have harsh chemicals that can leech into the eyeshadow. Why else is organic eyeshadow a better and safer bet than major, high-end traditional brands? Here is a checklist any woman should be aware of:

  • Most organic eyeshadow that is certified by the USDA or other known organizations is going to be affordable while also being healthy for the skin and eyes. Compare that to a similarly priced eyeshadow that will have irritating harsh chemicals and talc as its main ingredients.
  • There are fortifying and soothing ingredients used in organic eyeshadow to help with nourishing the skin as well as preventing eyeshadow fall out, fading, creasing, and without having to endlessly pack on the color for a bold, statement look.
  • Women who are vegans or need to live a gluten-free lifestyle can feel safe knowing they can use certified organic eyeshadow in their make-up routine, as there are options out there for both vegans and those allergic to gluten that can't normally be found with bigger brands.
  • Organic eyeshadow comes in all sorts of packaging and methods, such as creme, regular eyeshadow, metallic, matte, or shimmer for all sorts of looks when women want to experiment with colors and different applications.

Between the two, organic eyeshadow seems to have the better benefits for health and sustainability while also being very inexpensive for any kind of make-up lover out there. Be able to take care of skin and eyes with eyeshadow that works with it, not against the skin.
