2008's already infamous mantra? Go green, go green, go green. Personally, I've been taking iiiitty-bitty baby steps into the whole "natural" craze—natural lip gloss here, dish soap there—mainly because the technicalities of it are mind-boggling! The FDA doesn't define what makes a product "natural" per se, so it's tough to really know what's what with all this earthy business. Sooo, thankfully, Sephora's broken it down for us: "Natural" refers to products that use mainly plant-based and naturally-based ingredients, made without parabens, sodium lauryl sulfate, phthalates, petrochemicals, and synthetic fragrances or dyes. This spring, there's a whole slew of natural products to get your tree-hugging little hands on. Korres' new line of moisturizers, lip butters, eye pencils, and mascaras ... Tarte's new t5 antioxidant-packed lip gloss ... LaVanila's Coconut fragrance and body butter ... even a 100% natural tote by Care By Stella McCartney. So, here's to revving up those cautious baby steps this year! —Jessica Anderson, Sephora

I use Jonathan products, which I dont think are organic, but they are vegan, and have tons of natural good for you ingredients. I also use Korres because they use no mineral oils, so the face creams really sink in. :)
REN!!!
REN is the best brand ever!!!! I am soooo glad that I found it. My skin has never looked this great and I am not putting any chemicals on my face - fab!
Yes, green is the new buzzword. It's about time IMHO. We all need to do more.
