"Green Morning Routine Neutrogena Naturals is the first new line in a decade from the skin-care giant. The ingredients in its Purifying Facial Cleanser and Purifying Pore Scrub ($4 to $8, drugstores) \u2013 like willow bark (an exfoliator) and jojoba oil (a hydrator) \u2013 are 86 to 100 percent natural or naturally derived.  A Better Bath Made of 100 percent pure natural colloidal oatmeal that works as a cleanser, while relieving itchy, irritated skin, Aveeno Soothing Bath Treatment has earned the Green Good Housekeeping Seal. In the Research Institute&amp;#039;s environmental evaluations, the product performed particularly well in the following areas: toxicity and product safety; sourcing of product ingredients; sourcing of packaging materials; producing low levels of greenhouse gases; and reducing industrial and hazardous waste from manufacturing. Natural Lip Balms To soften your pout, start by gently rubbing a warm, damp washcloth over lips to slough dead skin. Then pat on a rich balm, such as One Natural Shea Butter Lip Balm in Honey Cream ($3, Target). The balms are 98.9 percent natural and packaged in recycled material. If you sensitive skin, however, plant oils, which are made up of relatively simple fatty acids, are gentler on skin. Try Yes to Carrots C Me Shine Lip Gloss ($6.49, Walgreens) with castor-seed oil. Non-Toxic Nails If your nails and cuticles are brittle and rough from handling files and washing with harsh soaps, give them an oil treatment every night. Our product pick: Carol&amp;#039;s Daughter Lemon and Jojoba Cuticle Oil ($10, carolsdaughter.com). It contains no parabens, or artificial colors.  Earth-Minded Mascara When choosing a &amp;quot;green&amp;quot; formula, Christy Coleman, an eco makeup artist in Venice, CA, recommends scanning labels for natural oils and waxes because they&amp;#039;re more resistant to moisture. Two synthetic-free standouts: Physicians Formula Organic Wear 100 Percent Natural Origin Mascara ($10, drugstores) and 100 Percent Pure Fruit Pigmented Ultra Lengthening Natural Mascara ($21, qvc.com). Keep in mind, &amp;quot;these naturals are not necessarily gentler for sensitive eyes,&amp;quot; says Marguerite McDonald, M.D., adjunct professor of ophthalmology at Tulane University in New Orleans. Instead, she suggests hypoallergenic options, such as Almay Intense i-Color Mascara ($7.49, drugstores), which omit ingredients known to cause allergic reactions. Mineral Makeover Minerals have become the darlings of new makeup lines for sensitive skin, but irritants may be still be lurking in them. That&amp;#039;s because not all brands are pure minerals. A quick scan of the ingredients may turn up parabens and other fillers. One without them: Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free 100 Percent Mineral Bronze Brightener ($14, drugstores).  Some powdered mineral makeup, like Jane Iredale Amazing Base Loose Minerals SPF 20 ($42, janeiredaledirect.com), doesn&amp;#039;t use preservatives at all. &amp;quot;If the formula doesn&amp;#039;t contain water, no preservatives are necessary,&amp;quot; Perry Romanowski, an independent cosmetics chemist, explains. (Consider tossing it if moisture gets in, though.) Bottom line: You&amp;#039;ll get the best green bang for your buck if the top half of the ingredient list contains naturals. But don&amp;#039;t buy into the good-for-you claims if you also find a laundry list of potential irritants. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
