Mascara comes in a myriad of colours but green mascara should now be your makeup mainstay.
Recommendation by Penny K
What is Green mascara?
Though green mascara is slowly making its way to the list of cosmetic must-haves, like a lot of organic makeup, it hasn’t exactly reached industry standards yet. It’s much easier and cheaper to use chemicals in cosmetics rather than organically derived ingredients.
If you watch what you eat then you should also be mindful about what you put on your skin. After all the skin is the body’s largest organ; it breathes and lives and will absorb what you put on it.
With the heightened awareness of the possible existence of harmful chemicals in cosmetics, people are looking to organic options, green mascara being one of them.
Unlike organic foundation, eye shadow and blush that are more common, green mascara can be a little obscure. Follow us as we track down these organic mascaras with a greener, lighter footprint!
Kiehl’s Marvelous Mineral Mascara

A fairly new product, the Marvelous Mineral Mascara’s main ingredient is Jojoba Oil. If you think you need industry strength mascara to achieve the luscious lashes that you lack, this one’s for you. Containing mineral pigments that add a natural and rich colour and Acacia Senegal which thickens for length and volume. Faux lashes be gone, natural and organic is truly the way to go!
Jojoba Oil: Extracted from the beanlike seeds of a desert shrub and has traditionally been used by both Mexicans and Native Americans for skin care purposes. It reduces transepidermal water loss without completely blocking the transportation of water vapour and gases.
