(1888PressRelease) August 25, 2010 - Afterglow Cosmetics Company is a leading natural cosmetics company based in the United States. Their business has expanded from one small store with internet sales in 2004 to a nationwide chain with locations spread out throughout the country. Their success is due largely to their health initiatives.

Founder Kristin Adams launched Afterglow Cosmetics after struggling for years with sensitivities to foods, cosmetics and perfume. Together with her chemical engineer sister and nutritionist mother, Kristin developed a line of safe, natural cosmetics that are non-irritating to those with sensitivities to cosmetics and perfumes. Afterglow Cosmetics contain pure, natural, organic ingredients. Their line of organic cosmetics is truly what they claim to be.

Kristin, being public service minded, has led her company to be in line with green initiatives, pushes for stricter industry safety standards and actively participates in expanding and maintaining current philanthropic corporate responsibility initiatives programs.

Afterglow Cosmetics vigorously advocates stricter cosmetic safety standards and is actively involved in The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics. Their company is one which is a leader in removing potentially dangerous pollutants from cosmetics but their mission doesn't stop there. They are dedicated to continually improving business practices to help the environment by eliminating their carbon footprint and potential waste from landfills and water sources.

Afterglow Cosmetics uses sustainable product packaging to ensure their containers are made of sustainable and recyclable materials. Their mineral makeup containers are high quality and sterile for safety, but their main materials include recyclable plastics and aluminum. They ask that their customers reuse or recycle their empty mineral makeup containers.

Shipment packaging is kept to a minimum. This cuts down on wasted packing materials in landfills. The box their products are shipped in and the tissue paper used for cushion are made of recycled materials. Customers are encouraged to reused the boxes their cosmetics arrive in. they even use shipping companies that have instituted policies and methods aimed ar reducing their carbon footprints and global climate change. Afterglow also repurposes virtually all of their incoming packing material and paper by either reusing it or recycling it.

While all of these initiatives and efforts make Afterglow Cosmetics a great provider of organic cosmetics, their good deeds don't stop there. They continually donate $2 per every sale of their Organic Lip Love Lipstick in Muse to The Young Survival Coalition. The YSC helps support young women under 40 who are diagnosed with breast cancer.
