The short answer is yes, though Sephora’s natural and organic section can be a slightly spotty scene. Not all the products they stamp with their “Naturally Gorgeous” logo would get a clean bill from us (note to Sephora: we’d love to help!) but the mega beauty chain does carry some of our favorite brands—most notably our top pick for deodorant.

Generally we’re of the mind that any mainstreaming of clean products is a good thing. The glitch is that unless you know which lines to trust (and yes, that’s why we wrote the book), you’re stuck trying to read labels again. Total. Drag.

Last week our friend Simone LeBlanc asked us what the deal was with Edun’s new line for Sephora. If you’re not familiar with Edun, it’s a stlylish eco clothing line with a focus on encouraging trade in Africa. But are their lovely new eye-and-face palettes really clean? Not entirely—but they’re not terrible, either.

The first ingredient is mica, which is used in lots of powders and eye shadows. While it’s not unsafe, it can cause allergic reactions. There are no parabens, synthetic fragrances or talc, but there are some synthetic dyes. The one bad-boy that jumped out at us was aluminum powder, which was only used in one pallette, and was listed last on the label. That means there’s less of it than any other ingredient on the list. But still—it’s aluminum!

Aluminum powder gets a 7-9 on Skin Deep. It’s a neurotoxin with links to cancer, and from an environmental perspective, it ain’t pretty either. But since the rest of the ingredients are clean, is it kind of like freaking out because you found a single cockroach in an otherwise clean kitchen?

Maybe. But why spoil an otherwise nontoxic product with something as hot-button as aluminum? We personally favor products that steer entirely clear from things like this. Where do you make exceptions?
