They do already us post consumer plastic but I wonder if they would take back the containers, clean them and reuse them, use more glass or something. They are always looking for more ways to be green so not a bad idea. For now at least it's made only a state away, less plastic than most, shipped in paper, and great ingredients.

There should be more articles that are as informative as these. All beauty junkies should be aware! Speaking of these deceptions, just lately, I found an article here. http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2008/08/16/harvard-gets-hacked-by-scam-mortgage-site-video-proof-exposed-by-the-personal-money-store-no-fax-payday-loans/ This about hackers that disturb google results. The major targets are the reputable non commercial domains such as .edu.gov.org. This is major concern since these acts are done just to gain profit and some unfair advantage. Let us be wary of these acts of deception. I’m so glad that personalmoneystore.com posted this very informative and helpful article. I hope everyone reads this and may it serve as a warning that scams, fakes and fraud are prevalent these days. Let us all be wise!

It gives just the right touch of color and contains no bad stuff at all. (beets are really good for you!) The rest of my makeup is mineral makeup, which is supposed to contain no bad stuff either.
