Introducing Recommended Natural Cosmetics
The momentum in the natural cosmetics world shows no signs of slowing down in 2010, with the debut of the new brand "THREE" and Shiseido's acquisition of BareMinerals. However, the market is now flooded with brands, a consequence of the boom from a few years ago, and simply being safe and environmentally friendly is no longer enough to differentiate. As consumers, we must now cultivate our discerning eye. In the first part of this series, we spoke with organic cosmetics specialist Chiaki Yoshikawa about the latest trends in natural cosmetics. In this second part, we introduce Chiaki Yoshikawa's recommended natural cosmetics.
