Josie Maran Cosmetics
We found out about this lovely cosmetics line from our Icon Olivia Wilde's website Conscious Commerce! Not only does Josie Maran boast the use of 100% Argan oil as a key ingredient for all her products, but most (if not all) packaging is recyclable, and they aim to support the communities of all sourced materials whenever they can. They carry delectable products for every beauty need, from hair oils to cheek stain!
M. Patmos
Marcia Patmos (co-founder of cashmere favorite, Lutz & Patmos) has created her own line of simple, chic knitwear for the modern woman. The M. Patmos collective strives to commit to suatinable and eco-friendly practices in the manufacturing and sourcing processes, even receiving awards, such as the Ecco Domani Fashion Fund Award in 2011 and more.
G-Star Raw For The Ocean
Vocalist and musician extraordinaire, Pharrell, (and now creative director of Bionic Yarn) has joined forces with G-Star to create "Raw for the Oceans", a line of clothing made from the Bionic Yarn material. The yarn is likened to denim in look and feel, and is woven from recycled ocean plastic along with other organic and synthetic materials. Watch a short video below on the process. The line will be available later this year, August 15! See our music section for some tunes from this Earth-friendly artist.
