In tough economic times, many Americans try to keep the few dollars they spend in the country to benefit Americans. Why not extend that largesse to your beauty products by buying from some great American cosmetic companies? Many American beauty companies use all-natural ingredients grown in the USA to manufacture their products here, too. Here are just a few of those companies. First, the company responsible for keeping our lips soft and conditioned year-round. Burt's Bees began in 1984 in Maine and later moved its operations to North Carolina, where it's been employing Americans and using American components to make its products since. Another company committed to natural cosmetics is Kiss My Face, a New York-based company that also started in the 1980s. The founders started with bars of olive oil soap and now create toiletries, kids' products, suncare and more.
