Taking a trip to NYC this summer? Lucky enough to live there? One great thing, amongst many, about being in the Big Apple? You get to shop green beauty IRL!

Sure, the Internet has a heaping helping of natural beauty offerings for sale. All at the convenience of your sweet little fingertips.

But there is something about a brick and mortar filled to the brim with organic beauty goodies. I mean what teenage girl (okay, adult girls too) doesn’t love a spin through the local Sephora to peruse the makeup and skincare? And how much better would it be if you knew every product was safe and healthy?

Of course, it is always best to read ingredient listings to make sure a product you plan to buy is free from harmful ingredients. Stores you can trust not only take out the guess work, you get to touch and smell any item you want.

So, while you plan your daily NYC excursions, make time to pick up some green beauty beauties.
