@ Left Brain - would it make a difference as to what shade of green? Lime, kiwi, emerald, chartreuse,mint? ;-)

ha ha..@lindygirl.
How can packaging be a consideration..these days most products use some element of recylicng.
I am more interested in the actual ingredients.

What exactly do you mean by the term "green" ? Organic type products? And which ones do you have in mind specifically? I have used a few that are labeled organic and my shampoo is labeled vegan.The reason I chose the shampoo I am currently using is because I was looking for something that had no sulfates (sulfates tend to irritate my scalp) and I really liked the way this one smells....just like orange blossoms. I have been pleased enough with this particular one to repurchase it several times over the course of the last two plus years...almost three years now.I have also used a couple of vitamin c serums that were of the more "green" variety. I did not find them useful. The packaging left something to be desired. While one was packaged in a nice pump bottle with a lockable lid the bottle was also clear, allowing light to reach the product which destroys the properties of the vitamin c.Am I on the right track beautydetective? Is that the question you were asking?:)

In all honesty, I think it's all just a bunch of hype. Companies see how hung up people are on being evironmentally safe and are preying on this to make more money. All you have to do is claim something is green and people will buy it like crazy. Even if it's only short term green and in the long run even more damaging to the environment people will still snag it up like there's no tomorrow.
It's kind of like this woman I saw at a party once. She was a mother of a young child and a major chain smoker. She looked through the offered drinks and found this root beer from Trader Joe's that said "All natural." She handed it to her son declaring, "Oh, it's all natural, so it's good for you." Nevermind that it's still soda and that she was exposing everyone, including her child, to her 2nd hand smoke.
Fact is, I could bottle my farts, slap a label on it that it's a green product that will make your wrinkles disappear, and people will buy it.
