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).

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.
