How to Avoid Phthalates:

Beauty companies are not required to list ingredients, so you are not likely to see phthalates, a plastic softener linked to cancer, on labels. Avoid products that list "fragrance," which often contains phthalates; look for essential oils instead.

Shimmy Dress

Ciel Shimmy blue and white dress
Youngna Park

Why It's Good:

Shimmy on out, flapper style, and be in tune with a timeless look that saw a roaring revival on spring runways. Ciel's silk shift with asymmetrical tiers flutters with a jazzy blue-and-white print, and the cascading ruffles lend a lighthearted flirtatiousness that's perfectly called for at this summer's college reunion barbeque or a well-deserved escape to Seychelles' sandy shores.

Why It's Green:

The paisley print is hand block-printed on hand-loomed silk by fairly paid Indian artisans working through a cultural initiative called Craftmark. Ciel is known for its commitment to eco-friendly practices and causes, including the use of vegan, organic, and sustainable materials such as hemp and bamboo.
