Your local drugstore may be “greener” than you think.  Make the drugstore your destination to shop for healthy cosmetics.  Healthy cosmetics are free of artificial dyes, mineral oils, petrolatum, harsh chemicals, and skin irritants.  They are also not tested on animals.  

Many drugstore chains have made an effort to meet consumer demand by offering more brands with naturally derived products.  These products would not suffice for the die-hard purists.  Nevertheless, a haul of your drugstore’s natural cosmetic selection can be an economical first step to “going green”.
