Organic Beauty mag keeps Boho company

Like the eco-fashion coverage in Boho magazine? Hitting newsstands this month, there's even more in store for green gals nationwide.

Organic Beauty is like a green Allure, reporting the latest trends in skin care, make-up, fitness, fashion and beauty breakthroughs-- all from an eco-eye.

The publishing industry may have made some major cutbacks last year, but the sales spike in natural products proves that launching this magazine was a wise move. Organic Beauty publisher Diane Hintz confirmed, "The organic and natural personal-care product market has hit a phenomenal $7 billion in annual sales. The demand for organic beauty products may be the most important issue to affect the beauty industry in its history."

House star Olivia Wilde (one of my favorite TV actresses!) graces the first cover. She's a nature-loving semi-vegetarian, and I can't wait to read what she has to say about eco-chic beauty. What are you waiting for? Get thy glam self to a bookstore and scoop this up, stat!

Skyrocketing Sales for Eco-Chic Makeup

Spending may have decreased due to the recession, but customers prove they are still committed to shopping for affordable, quality makeup. Physician's Formula, one of my favorite brands, is flourishing, despite the economic crisis. WWD reports that this season's profits are up to $1.7 million, a huge jump from $102,000 at the same time last year. That's quite a leap!

Their new Organic Wear line may have something to do with it. This year the brand debuted the nation's first 100% organic natural origin makeup line with certified organic materials. Each product is free of harsh chemicals, fragrances and parabens, and is also cruelty-free. That makes for a 100% eco-friendly product, right down to the recycled paper packaging!

Physician's Formula, a leader in the bronzer market, also sells mineral makeup and retro-chic compacts, mascaras and more. It's encouraging to see such a great company, committed to environmental consciousness, thrive in a disappointing financial season. Why not support the brand (and boost the economy!) by picking up one of their gorgeous green products? Your skin will thank you, too!
