Sustainability in the Beauty Industry

Sustainable skincare is a growing trend in the beauty industry as we become more environmentally and socially conscious. What exactly is sustainable skincare though?

Sustainable skincare products are made with eco-friendly and ethical practices in mind, such as using natural and organic ingredients, reducing packaging waste, and supporting fair labor practices.

One of the main benefits of sustainable skincare is that it is better for the environment. Many traditional skincare products are made with synthetic chemicals, such as methylparaben, triclosan and phenoxyethanol, that can be harmful to the environment when they are disposed, or released into the water supply. Sustainable skincare products, on the other hand, are made with biodegradable natural ingredients that are marine safe, and do not have a negative impact on the environment.


Sustainable skincare is also an ethical choice. Many traditional skincare brands use ingredients that are extracted from plants and animals in an unsustainable manner, leading to the depletion of natural resources and the exploitation of animals. Sustainable skincare brands, on the other hand, are committed to sourcing ingredients in an ethical and sustainable way, ensuring that they do not contribute to environmental degradation or animal cruelty.

If you are interested in incorporating sustainable skincare into your routine, there are a few things to consider when shopping for products, look for brands that:

1. First, Look for brands that use natural ingredients. These are typically derived from plants and are more sustainable and gentle on the skin.
2. Second, look for brands that use minimal or reusable packaging. This helps to reduce waste and is better for the environment.
3. Finally, research the brand to ensure that they have ethical and sustainable sourcing practices.
