Retail giant Victoria’s Secret has entered the eco-friendly foray of organic and green cosmetics with its ‘Pink Body’ line of 100% vegan skin and body care products. The line contains everything from shaving cream and lotion to body wash, shampoo, body scrubs, and lip creams—all are organic, and many feature ingredients primarily sourced from the United States.
Items from the Victoria’s Secret ‘Pink Body’ line are all packaged in post consumer recycled materials—a considerate move, especially since Victoria’s Secret has been blasted in the past for their eco-unfriendliness.
