Skincare products must care for you and save the planet at the same time

WITH beauty now one of the most talked-about sectors, it’s no surprise that skincare has become a major force in the world of beauty.

And with consumers becoming more and more concerned about what they’re putting on their skin, there’s no end to the skincare products hitting store shelves.

These days, it seems like everything is fair game for the skincare industry: oils, serums, lotions, creams, and pretty much anything else you can think of. As a result, this has created an incredibly fragmented market, especially when it comes to target customers.

Are you constantly looking for something natural, hydrating, and right for your skin type? It can be tricky to find something that works for your skin type because there are so many options available.

Here’s a breakdown of the three skincare industry keys that can unlock a cleaner, greener, and better tomorrow:

Rethink while making choices

The majority of skincare products on the market are, unfortunately, loaded with all sorts of questionable chemicals.

Not only do many damage your skin, but also pollute the Earth. It’s important to remember skincare is not just about taking care of your skin – it’s about taking care of the wider ecosystem too.

For example, while the process of harvesting various oils needed in skincare products, or the preservatives used in them, may seem harmless at first, it’s important to keep an eye on their potential impact on the ecosystem.

While it may seem like a lot to keep in mind while making choices, it is essential if we want to have a cleaner, greener, and better tomorrow.

Reduce any negative imprint

Reduce wastage or any negative footprint while making choices, for example using products that do not require too much water usage, so there is less water wastage, or using recyclable packaging so that the carbon footprint is reduced.

Thankfully, a lot of brands are starting to catch on to this – and are making efforts to reduce their carbon footprints by making products with recyclable packaging and reducing their water use.

For example, when it comes to packaging, many brands are now opting for more recyclable materials like cardboard boxes instead of plastic containers, sustainable glass, sustainable BioResin tubes and some convert all plastic bottles to recycled plastic to eliminate the use of virgin plastic.

Not only are brands reducing their carbon footprints, but also encouraging customers to be more eco-friendly.

Some brands are designing products that require less water or contain ingredients that are water-saving.

Eco-friendly solutions

Choose brands that are environment-friendly, that use organic ingredients that are cruelty-free, ethically sourced, and work towards the upliftment of society overall.

While brands have made great strides in reducing their carbon footprints, it’s also important to think about what these brands stand for.

While it’s great that they are reducing their carbon footprints, it’s not worth anything if the brand isn’t doing anything else positive for the world or if they are actively harming it.

When choosing a skincare brand, it’s important to look for a brand that not only covers the ethics and cruelty bases, but which also engages in corporate social repsonsibility, whether it’s through charitable donations, or giving back to local communities.

This way, not only are you getting a product that is ethically sourced, cruelty-free, and environmentally friendly, but you are also supporting a brand that is working towards a better world.

The skincare industry is a booming one that is set to continue growing in the future especially as customers become more conscious of what they are using on their skin.

Unfortunately, though, many of the products found in skincare aisles are laced with harmful ingredients and are not good for the environment.

If we want to have a cleaner, greener, and better tomorrow, we have to rethink while making choices, being mindful of our choices and how they affect not just our skin as a customer, but also the wider ecosystem too.

We also have to reduce any negative imprint while making choices, such as reducing water wastage or using recyclable packaging, so that the carbon footprint is reduced.

Last but not least, we have to choose eco-friendly solutions such as brands that are environment-friendly, that use organic ingredients that are cruelty-free, ethically sourced, and that work towards the upliftment of society overall. |
