| - I'm super glad there is a natural, as in non-toxic, makeup store in Toronto. The Detox Market, along with health food stores of choices and online Canadian retailers, has made it so that I likely won't ever have to step into a Sephora again.
I'm glad for this because it means I won't have to inhale all those "lovely" (ahem, potentially toxic) perfumes that pervade pretty much every conventional cosmetic/bath/body shop on earth. My nostrils and lungs are pleased!
This location is very quiet and almost a respite from the go, go, go vibe I get from being downtown. It has a Greenhouse Juice Co. fridge at the front, so shopping can be done in tandem with downing those liquid gold greens.
As for brands, most of the big names in green beauty are present. Prices are comparable to what you would pay at Sephora or Shoppers for prestige makeup brands, which can be a little off-putting at first, especially to those are making the change to green beauty. However, remember that you are no longer paying the premium to basically pollute your face! A concession they have is their loyalty program, so at some point, you'll get a reward just for buying what you would buy anyway.
Kudos to the Detox Market for not only being a green retailer, but a pretty darn chic one at that.
