GREEN HAIR CARE DAVINES LOVE SMOOTHING CONDITIONER
($39.50, ca.davines.com)
Use this conditioner to transform frizzy, unruly hair into a mane that’s silky and shiny in record time. The secret? Olive extract, an ingredient rich in fatty acids and vitamin E, harvested in Messina, Italy.
“Italian pride! This mask really can control frizzy hair in less than a minute. And the brand’s environmental loyalty is impressive.”
– MICHELA MOTTA, ELLE ITALY
GREEN SKINCARE WELEDA SKIN FOOD BODY BUTTER
($25, well.ca)
Although extremely rich in nourishing ingredients like cocoa and shea butters, this formula melts into the skin upon application, leaving it silky and hydrated for hours. A must-have to get through the Canadian winter.
“I’ve tried almost every product in this line by Weleda, and this is the jackpot item. It absorbs into your skin in just a couple of minutes, leaving it feeling truly moisturized, not sticky. Love!”
– DARIYA NOGAYEVA-ALISHKEVICH, ELLE KAZAKHSTAN
GREEN MAKEUP KJAER WEIS IMPOSSIBLE MASCARA
($43, thedetoxmarket.ca)
We love the winning duo that is this incredible mascara, which combines a dual-sided recyclednylon brush (a curved side for adding volume and dimension and a flat side for lengthening and defining) with a nourishing formula made with carnauba wax, beeswax, marula oil and raspberry water.
“Unfortunately, most clean-mascara formulas on the market do not deliver on volume, length and hold. Instead, they tend to flake and smudge. Not this one! It gives lifted, full, separated lashes that last until evening. The refillable packaging is also a huge benefit.”
– BARBARA HUBER,
ELLE GERMANY
