Dear Diva,
Do you have any info on Origins line of products? I see some of their items say no animal ingredients. Have you tried any? Thanks!
Hi Mary,
Origins is an Estee Lauder company founded in 1990. They have a long-standing commitment to being green. They purchase wind power to offset electricity used in stand alone retail stores and have been recognized as one of the top 30 companies by the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Green Power Partnership as a result their green efforts.
Working with Global ReLeaf they have planted the equivalent of 1.25 million trees. In 2009 Origins launched a program to accept empty cosmetic primary packaging from any brand of product for recycling, which is fantastic as most curbside recycling will not accept this type of packaging – you’ll even be given a sample of their products as a reward for your recycling efforts. Origins has also recently launched a USDA certified organic line of products, another great step.
The growing size of the natural skin care market has not gone without note by Estee Lauder executives.
