Outstanding Product
Eminence has a delectable array of plant and fruit based treatments such as their Lime Stimulating Masque and Eight Greens Phyto Masque. Worth the hefty prices but good luck choosing just one! Be aware, some of their products contain salicylic acid which is considered a potential irritant.

Useful Services
You can connect to and shop at sister sites annemichele.com and skincarerx.com using one shopping basket. Beware that the products on those sites include chemical laden brands that are not necessarily "green".
Pros
Impressive variety. Very informative site (including full ingredients listing). Numerous ways to shop (vegan, organic, by brand etc).
Cons
You must read all ingredients to choose the safest and purest products. Not all products show up in a particular category (for example, Pangea does not show up in "cleansers") so be sure to search by brand if you want to see everything. Most products are expensive.
