The 12 Best Organic Lipsticks

Last month I did a post on the best organic lip balms which is all fine and good, but do you give the color you put on your lips much thought? You should. Considering women ingest anywhere between roughly 4-7 pounds of the gunk they put on their lips in their lifetime, it’s thought provoking. Most of the lipsticks (and makeup) we wear contain loads of ingredients we can’t pronounce let alone sound healthy. From parabens, petro-chemicals, phthalates, and sulfates to synthetic fragrances and dyes there is some pretty nasty stuff in not only what we apply to our face but what we (ew) consume.

I have my own recent health reasons for seeking out organic and/vegan makeup, but it really can’t be bad for anyone to chose healthier alternatives, Ten years ago it was hard to find organic lipsticks that didn’t either suck or cost a king’s ransom. Fortunately in more recent years cosmetic manufacturers (both luxury and mass market) have heard our cries for more safe and natural products.

So of course I had to do some research and I probably tried at least 25 organic and vegan lipsticks. I was surprised at how many I liked and for different reasons. So I could not even narrow it down to 10. Here are my top 12 favorite organic lipsticks.

YES! I LOOK FORWARD TO #GROWINGYOUNGER

Like a fine wine these lipsticks are crafted by hand. Bite’s small batch, low-heat process preserves a balanced blend of lip-quenching nutrients, vitamins and omega oils.

4. Antonym Cosmetics Certified Natural Lipstick Pencil Naturelle, $17

I love a lip pencil lipstick because it’s a liner and lipstick in one!

5. Votre Vu Champs-éLIPsée Lip Crayon, $24

This is another lip crayon from a line I have come to love. This hydrating formula’s infusion of luscious plant and pure mineral waxes feels absolutely luxurious, and a convenient chubby twist-up stick makes application sweet and simple. Tested and approved by celebrity makeup artists, these non-stop flattering hues dutifully add fullness and depth with every swipe – and power to your pout.

6. Eleve LIP LIQ {Liquid Matte Lip), $26

Here is another long-lasting liquid matte lipstick to love. It glides on like a gloss and sets with a velvet-like finish yet is non-drying and long-lasting. It’s infused with lip-smoothing antioxidant ingredients, including rosemary and sunflower oils. My favorite color is Lady Bird Mauve but there is an array to chose from. The formula is all natural, GMO-free, gluten free, paraben free, phthalate free and cruelty free, but is is not vegan because they use beeswax.

This lip crayon is made with a blend of plant-derived Phyto-Pigments with replenishing emollients to keep lips soft with its smooth, creamy texture and lightweight feel.

Each shade is infused with lip and skin moisturizing shea butter and vitamin E while peptides add radiance to support a youthful look. A portion of the proceeds will support the Love is Louder project.

How can you not love this lipstick with a flower in the middle? Trust me you have never seen one like this before. It’s a mood changing lipstick and the shade looks different on everyone. This combination lipstick/ lip gloss/ lip tint is jelly infused with gold flakes. Apply it to reveal a shade of glossy pink that’s unique to your lips and fall in love the the delightful girlie smell. Yes, it’s a little campy but that’s why I love it! It’s also healthy, handcrafted, eco-firendly and is made with cocoa seed butter, natural bees wax (so it is not vegan).

10. Beauty Counter Sheer Lipstick, $34

Beauty Counter is a brand you can trust to be 100% safe, So of course I love this lipstick. My favorite color is Current (I tried them all on). This I love this silky-smooth, long-lasting formula which is lightweight yet ultra-moisturizing for the perfect mix of sheer color and polished sheen.
