pure glam
                       
    Our motto.  Our tagline.  Our philosophy

You are probably here because you have started a quest for safer cosmetics. You may have heard about toxins in cosmetics from a news article, you may be a breast cancer survivor, you may be an expecting mommy, or you may have a copy of  Gillian Deacon's, "There's Lead in Your Lipstick" on your night stand.  Whatever your motivation, wherever you are along the path of making the switch to natural products, you have come to the right place.

At The Green Kiss, your health and your style are our priority.


We believe that beauty products should be glamorous and sexy.  But, as anyone with common sense would agree, you shouldn't risk your health for glamor!  And more importantly -  you shouldn't need to. What goes onto your skin should actually be good for it.  And we mean that.

The journey for safe cosmetics can be a confusing one.  We want to make this as clear of an experience for our customers as possible.  Pure glam is our philosophy and here is how it works...

We don't cut corners.  We source the safest, most effective products from brands across North America.  We have strict buying guidelines, and research the ingredients of every single product before we commit to selling them.  We also stay on top of new research as it as available.  We also err on the side of caution.  Many ingredients are suspected to be toxic, but many have not been proven.  So we like to keep things as simple as possible, and source items that have the purest and simplest ingredients as possible.

Products must qualify in each of the two pure glam categories:

a) pure - FREE of suspected or known carcinogens, suspected or known hormone disruptors, synthetic fragrance, harsh ingredients that are damaging for the skin, and animal testing.  This list actually goes on and on.  Please see our buying guidelines section for a complete overview.

b) glam - It's gotta work!  There is no sense selling pure cosmetics that are not effective.  What's the point in spending the money? So all products are tested by our team and are proven to work.  All this talk about cancer causing ingredients can really take the fun out of makeup.  So, we source products that are effective, but that also have that 'glam' factor we are looking for.

Ultimately, we are here to offer choice, selection, and healthier alternatives that really work.  Everyone has their own motivation when it comes to sourcing out safer cosmetics, and everyone must assess what it is that is important to them.

When shopping on our website, you will see our philosophy of  'pure glam' when looking at every single product.  Look below each item for its description.  You will find an overview as to why we love it, its pure ingredients, and the glam tips we have discovered for it to make you look fab-u-lous!  After all, that is why we all love makeup.....isn't it?
