Affordable Mineral Makeup™ is a signer of the Safe Cosmetics Campaign
We have have pledged to not use chemicals that are known or strongly suspected of causing cancer, mutation or birth defects in their products and to implement substitution plans that replace hazardous materials with safer alternatives in every market they serve.
Sadly, many major cosmetics companies, including BE, OPI, Avon, Estee Lauder, L’Oreal, Revlon, Proctor & Gamble and Unilever have thus far refused to sign the Compact for Safe Cosmetics.

Affordable Mineral Makeup™ is eco friendly:
~Our web server is green.
~We purchase Carbon Credits via a sister site of ours to offset the carbon footprint generated from shipping orders.
~While we do ship all orders via USPS Priority mail, you can reuse the boxes as long as you’re shipping priority (I’ve used the same one back/forth to someone now for over 6 months! so it can be done. Additionally, if we were to ship using any other method we would have to use more shipping materials to protect your order which would be less green than priority boxes).
~USPS has posted new info regarding the eco factors of the priority packaging via http://mbdc.com/c2c/overview.php and http://mbdc.com/usps
~We do not send out catalogs.
~We are a paperless office.
~We print on recycled paper.
~We use organza bags and other green packaging for most orders (other than for samples and select others which have to be shipped in poly bags — we are still moving towards locating quality bags that are green to use in lieu of the poly bags for samples)
~We are moving towards use of greener sifter jar containers (locating quality green ones is an ongoing task).
~We provide product that is natural and contains no chemicals thus offering green product and no chemical backlash to the environment.
