2008 Archives: EcoTools: Green, Sustainable Makeup Brushes
With your paraben-free sunscreen and your mineral foundation, you’re all kinds of green in the beauty department.
But what about those brushes you’re using to mix up the eyeshadow du jour? Or your favorite new kabuki blush brush, hmmm…? Animal hairs, aluminum housings, handles made from non-sustainable wood or—egads!—the dreaded p-word (rhymes with “spastic”).
What’s a girl to do? Reach for an environmentally-friendly brush from the collection by ecoTools. They’ve got sustainable bamboo handles, animal-free taklon bristles, and a metallic ferrule made from recycled aluminum cans. Housed in reusable pouches printed with soy-based ink, these sleek little numbers even give back, in the form of an annual donation to 1% For The Planet. And with a brush for every occasion—from smoky eyes to Charlize Theron cheekbones—they’ve got you covered. And oh-so-green.
