If you are like me and look for ways to shop more sustainably have a look at this article from Good Housekeeping before you head out on your next shopping trip. Below are a few things to consider when making your selections:
Check the Ingredients: Look for products with natural or organic ingredients. Avoid harmful chemicals like parabens, phthalates, and sulfates.
Cruelty-Free and Vegan: Choose products that are cruelty-free (not tested on animals) and vegan (contain no animal-derived ingredients).
Sustainable Packaging: Opt for brands that use recyclable, biodegradable, or minimal packaging.
Ethical Sourcing: Ensure that the ingredients are ethically sourced, considering environmental impact and fair labor practices.
Eco-Friendly Brands: Support brands with a commitment to sustainability, carbon neutrality, or other eco-friendly practices.
Certifications: Look for certifications like USDA Organic, Fair Trade, or Leaping Bunny, indicating ethical and sustainable practices.
Shop Local: Support local businesses to reduce your carbon footprint and encourage community-based enterprises.
These practices can help you make more sustainable and ethically conscious choices when shopping for cosmetics.
Were you one of the 50% of people who, in 2022, looked for products made with natural ingredients, as reported by the Soil Association? Or perhaps you make up the 55% who were more likely to purchase environmentally friendly products*? One thing is for sure: we’ve never been more conscious about matching our cosmetics to our ethics.
