I especially love the Glow Shimmer Oil because I know that every ingredient Beautycounter uses is sustainably sourced. Did you know that most cosmetic products that include shimmer or glitter are sourced from dangerous and illegal mica mines, mostly worked by children under the age of 10 years old in India? After 7-8 hours of laboring in treacherous conditions, most children earn just enough to eat for the day, equivalent to approximately $0.33. I am simply not okay in my heart with this and am saddened that I used to support many of the major multi-national companies who source through these mica mines. Knowing this makes me all the more thankful for Beautycounter's strict sourcing standards and sustainability efforts ... Beautycounter truly isn't just a beauty company, we are a company on a mission to make the world better.
