Until now, the only "green" news coming out of the prestige beauty business was about shades of eye shadow. When you consider the resources used to deliver a prettily packaged, fragrant little moisturizer or lipstick, it's no wonder that the industry's environmental report card has been less than stellar. "The ecological footprint left behind by the manufacturing and distribution of cosmetics and fragrances has been dismal," says Allen Hershkowitz, a senior scientist at the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).

Then it was on to a prep room fragrant with vanilla-scented candles, floored in Chinese tile, furnished in red cherry and featuring an eight-jet Jacuzzi - rather than the standard shower - for pre-immersion cleanliness. The mikvah itself, beneath a mosaic of a blue sky and white clouds, was pristine. Cohen's eyes widened. "It's spectacular," she gasped. "I feel like...
