What’s Not in Your Makeup Matters

The beauty products we use daily impact more than our skin—they affect our health and the environment. Many cosmetics rely on synthetic chemicals like parabens, phthalates, silicones, and synthetic dyes, which can disrupt hormones, clog pores, and pollute ecosystems.

At River Organics, we choose better. Our plant-based formulations avoid harmful chemicals, using natural alternatives like candelilla wax, rice starch, and iron oxides. By prioritizing clean, sustainable ingredients, we’re creating beauty that’s good for you and the planet. Because what’s not in your makeup matters.

A Fresh Glow, Naturally: Our New Blush Stick

We’re excited to introduce our reformulated Blush Stick, now featuring skin-loving Almond Oil and Rice Starch for a nourishing, flawless finish. In our commitment to cleaner beauty, we’ve removed titanium dioxide, ensuring a safer, more natural product.

With eco-friendly packaging and a sustainable manufacturing partner, this Blush Stick reflects our dedication to your skin and the planet. Cleaner beauty never looked so good—stay tuned for more updates as we continue to innovate!

The Hidden Danger in Your Makeup: Microplastics

Microplastics, tiny plastic particles often found in cosmetics, may enhance product texture but come with hidden risks. These particles persist in oceans, harm marine life, and even infiltrate our bodies through skincare and makeup. Linked to health concerns like endocrine disruption, they highlight the urgent need for cleaner alternatives.

Avoid microplastics by checking ingredient lists for terms like "polyethylene" and choosing brands committed to natural, plastic-free formulations. Together, we can protect our health and the planet with more sustainable beauty choices.
