Natural + Eco-Friendly Mascaras, Eyeliners, and Brow Pencils
Mascara, eye liner, and brow pencils are a staple in many makeup bags. Most conventional makeup contains unsafe ingredients such as parabens, aluminum powder, propylene glycol, and retinyl acetate. The healthier and more sustainable choice would be one of these natural products that won’t expose your skin to potential health risks. Here we have a round-up of the most natural and eco-friendly mascaras, eyeliners, and brow pencils on the market.

MASCARA
This popular cosmetic is a combination of oils and waxes that provide consistency and pigment. It’s an ancient cosmetic that has been used by the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans to darken eyelashes, eyebrows and lids which they believe would ward off evil spirits.
ELATE BEAUTY
Elate Beauty’s essential mascara is personally my favorite and the one I use regularly. The bamboo tube is gorgeous. This mascara is also vegan and sweat resistant. | FIND IT HERE
KJAER WEIS
Kjear Weis’ refillable organic mascara is a great option. Although the tube itself is non-recyclable due to the metal it’s made of, the tube is meant to serve as a life-long piece that you can purchase replaceable cartridges for. | FIND IT HERE
SAPPHO NEW PARADIGM
Sappho’s vegan mascara is packaged in a metal recyclable outer tube (please note the inside is plastic). In an effort to reduce plastic packaging Sappho is planning on releasing a refill program in the near future! | FIND IT HERE
FAT AND THE MOON
A little bit different than the rest, this product from Fat and the Moon has multiple uses including using it as a mascara. It has a sunflower oil base and is highly pigmented. You would need your own wand but the eye coal comes in a recyclable aluminum pot. | FIND IT HERE

100% Pure has a plethora of SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS PRACTICES including a recycling program for empties. This mascara is an award winning product formulated for ultra length. | FIND IT HERE

Another mascara from 100% Pure. This one is vegan and gluten-free and infused with maracuja oil to prevent clumping and flaking. Bring in any empties from 100% Pure and they’ll recycle them! | FIND IT HERE
DON’T THROW OUT YOUR OLD MASCARA WANDS!
Donate them to an animal sancuary instead! Once you are ready to part ways with your mascara send the wand to APPALACIAN WILDLIFE REFUGE in North Carolina. Their WANDS FOR WILDLIFE program takes in old, used applicators (currently only twice a year – October & February) to help care for wildlife. They are used to remove fly eggs and larve from the fur and feathers of wild animals. Mascara wands are the perfect tool for the job because the bristles are so close together.
