LIPCOLOR

BURT’S BEES GLOSSY LIPSTICK,

$ 9 , BURTSBEES.COM

Finish your look with moisture-

packed Burt’s Bees lipstick. Whether

you want a glossy finish or a satin

one, choose from 24 total shades.

LAB RESULTS The minimalist tube

doesn’t come with extra packaging

and is made with 100 % plastic —

52 % recycled! Also, it’s lighter

than other lipsticks (no metals or

magnets), so it has less of a carbon

footprint during transportation.

STANDOUT SCENT

HENRY ROSE FINE FRAGRANCES,

$1 20 , HENRYROSE.COM

If you want a chic fragrance

that can do double duty,

Michelle Pfeiffer’s new unisex

line, Henry Rose, is it.

LAB RESULTS This got top

points for materials — the

bottles are recycled glass, and

the plastic caps are made from

soy, a renewable plant-based

source, rather than petroleum.

We also like how transparent

the brand is about the five

scents’ ingredients, a rarity

in the fragrance world. It has

earned certifications from the

Environmental Working Group

and Cradle to Cradle too.

WEIGHTLESS

HAIRCARE

AVEDA ROSEMARY MINT PURIFYING

SHAMPOO AND WEIGHTLESS

CONDITIONER, $17 EACH,

AVEDA.COM

Formulated with the uplifting

scents of rosemary and

mint, Aveda’s shampoo-and-

conditioner pair cleanses

and lightly conditions.

LAB RESULTS Our experts

appreciated that the bottle is

made of 100 % recycled plastic

and doesn’t have secondary

packaging, which earned it top

points. We also like that you can

recycle the press-caps at the

curb and that the design lets it

dispense the right amount of

product so you won’t use too

much (and possibly waste some).

MINIMALIST

CLEANSER

OSMIA BLACK CLAY FACIAL SOAP,

$ 24 , OSMIAORGANICS.COM

A smart swap for traditional

face wash, Osmia’s facial bar

soap gives you a deep clean

you can feel good about. The

Black Clay bar works for all

skin types, from normal to oily

to combo, but you can also

choose an option like Rose

Clay or Pumpkin if your skin

has more specific needs (e.g.,

if it’s mature or rosacea-prone).

LAB RESULTS When we look at

products from a sustainability

perspective, not much is better

than bars. Yo u can use them

to the very last sliver, and

they typically have minimal

packaging. That’s especially

true for this soap — its box-

only packaging is Forest

Stewardship Council–certified,

and the ink is vegetable-based!

SUPER SKIN SAVER

L’OCCITANE SHEA BUTTER

HAND CREAM, $ 29 ,

USA.LOCCITANE.COM

First introduced over 25 years

ago, L’Occitane’s hand lotion

has become a beauty staple.

Formulated with shea butter

for a nourishing balm-like

feel, it’s ideal for smoothing

even the roughest spots.

LAB RESULTS The aluminum

tube is what sets this apart

from the competition. Unlike

traditional plastic tubes,

which will likely end up in

landfills, this is fully recy-

clable. GH pro tip: Squeeze

from the bottom to get every

last drop of product.
