16 Sustainable Skin Care Innovations

Sometimes it seems as though the Body Shop is cited as an example of a mainstream social business, much like TOMS or perhaps akin to those who don't even necessarily use the language (and perhaps don't walk the walk), like Whole Foods, these sustainable skin care innovations operate on a much smaller scale.

Including natural makeup companies to organic beauty markets, these small businesses are often committed to the triple bottom line, that is to say, they consider profit, planet and people. Many are also certified organic, fair trade and environmentally aware through not using dyes and other toxic materials. Some of these sustainable skin care innovations specialize in a couple of products and others, like the Detox Market, offer a number of products -- and some that are vegan and free of toxins.
