Going
green does not have to be an all or nothing proposition. Once we
realize there are many SHADES of GREEN it becomes easier to grasp
the idea that little changes do add up. Wilshire Beauty has created
a GREEN Department with the intention of helping to empower people
to make informed choices.
In
hand selecting which lines to include in the GREEN Department Wilshire
Beauty used the following guidelines:
•
Animal Friendly
• Charitable
• Local
• Recycled/Recycling
• Sustainable
• Vegetarian/Vegan
• Organic
• Less Toxic-includes “natural”
Since
the term “natural” is not governed by the FDA
we used the following criteria:
High
concentration of plant based and naturally derived ingredients
Little
to no parabens, sodium lauryl sulphate, petro-chemicals, phthalates
and synthetic fragrances or coloring
Some SHADES
of GREEN have a direct positive impact on the environment while
others have a more indirect positive effect on the environment.
The trend towards more naturally based products is an example of
a SHADE of GREEN with an indirect effect. By using fewer toxic ingredients
in our products we are releasing fewer toxins into the environment.
