MANILA, Philippines?A lot of today?s beauty products contain harmful chemical compounds or have been tested on animals. Thankfully, organic alternatives have also been produced, from anti-aging serums to all-natural eyeliner.

Make sure you support companies that don?t exploit their resources, the environment or animals to create their products. Browse through the label to see just what your product is made of.

Here are eco-chic individuals and their green products that you can check out.

Jason Plumera & Sea Kelp Moisturizing Shampoo doesn?t contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), which is a potential carcinogen. It?s eco-friendly because it?s biodegradable and doesn?t pollute waters. And because it contains organic ingredients, no pesticides were used. Also, it?s not tested on animals.

Being earth-friendly means caring about all life-forms. I like to use natural products because less chemicals and toxic ingredients means they?re good for my body and the environment.?

Alba Botanical Aloe & Green Tea Oil-free Moisturizer is a great product and the company has a strong environmental commitment program. Dr Bronner?s Magic Soap is organic and is packaged in 100-percent post consumer recycled plastic bottles. UV Natural Sunscreen is made of all natural ingredients and uses recyclable packaging. All products I use are not tested on animals.

Burt?s Bees Lip Balm has soothing organic ingredients that keep my lips moisturized the whole day, and Burt?S Bees Body Wash has a subtle clean smell and hydrates dry skin the whole day. It gently washes with cleansers made from sunflower and coconut, not with Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, which is a harsh chemical cleanser that strips skin of moisture.

MAC concealers go on smooth and completely erase dark circles. MAC products use recyclable packaging and do not test on animals. I also love using Body Shop Liquid Lip Color and Billberry Spray On Hair Conditioner. There?s Body Shop Tea Tree Oil for those unwelcome spots, and Body Shop Passion Fruit Lip Gloss, which contains organic extracts for moisture and shine.

Clinique Makeup Remover is non-greasy and gets rid of all that black eyeliner. For that annoying blemish, the spot-on remedy is Clinique Anti-blemish Solution. It?s a skin saver and a cruelty-free product! - Joey Mead (Professional model)
