Mt. Tamalpais Award

The Mt. Tamalpais Award honors these seven recipients for their commitment to protecting the health and well-being of our community. Together, we seek to investigate how exposures in our daily lives increase the risk of cancer, reduce harmful environmental conditions and educate communities on healthy lifestyle choices; we come together to continue the Search for the Cause.

Thank you on behalf of Search for the Cause, Teens for Safe Cosmetics, Healthy Schools Initiative (HSI) and Stop the Spray Marin for your magnificent contributions to our earth and to our future generations.

Jane Iredale Mineral Cosmetics

Iredale Mineral Cosmetics has been a tremendous supporter of this campaign with both major funding and in-kind product donations for many of our "Green Spa" events. Their willingness to help create awareness around safer choices has been a terrific boost to our outreach efforts. We are thrilled to be in a partnership with Iredale. Jane Iredale introduced her unique skin care makeup line in May of 1994. It was the first full makeup line on the market to offer not just color enhancement but also benefits to the skin. The products are based on micronized minerals and are made without fillers and binders (such as talc and mineral oil) and without chemical dyes or preservatives.
