The landscape is fraught with misleading jargon, ambiguous promises, and a lot of greenwashing\u2014 marketing ploys that\u202fappear\u202feco-conscious while doing little actual benefit from a health or planetary perspective.\u202fWith <a href=\"https:\/\/www.powerreviews.com\/insights\/2021-beauty-industry-consumer-report\/\">76% of consumers seeking sustainable products<\/a>, it\u2019s time to move past limp eco-platitudes and offer alternatives that are genuinely healthier for people and the planet.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with the packaging.<\/p>\n<p>While we might like to believe that everything we throw into our recycling bins makes it through the recycling process\u2014that\u2019s, unfortunately, more \u201cwish-cycling\u201d than reality. Studies show that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/318567844_Production_use_and_fate_of_all_plastics_ever_made\"><em>only<\/em> 9% of virgin plastics produced globally are actually recycled.<\/a> That means a whopping <strong>91%<\/strong> of plastic beauty product packaging lands in landfills.<\/p>\n<p>Ah, but what about using a glass container? While that might be more easily recyclable than plastic, if it&#8217;s been produced and imported from afar, any sustainability gains from using glass are likely nixed by the pollution generated during shipping. In short, it\u2019s complicated. But there are ways to do it right.<\/p>\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s talk about ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>With beauty products, there are various issues at hand when we talk about sustainability. One part is how the packaging and shipping impact the environment; the other is how the ingredients used in the products impact the environment\u2014then there&#8217;s how they affect a person&#8217;s health. Common ingredients used in products are known to cause cancer and disrupt hormones. And beware of terms like \u201call-natural\u201d or \u201cclean\u201d as they have no official definition.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a lot to unpack\u2014but there are ways to make products planet and health-conscious that make them better. For real. Like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Using refillable containers<\/li>\n<li>Carbon-neutral production methods and shipping<\/li>\n<li>Vegan-friendly formulas (factory farming is one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2006\/11\/201222-rearing-cattle-produces-more-greenhouse-gases-driving-cars-un-report-warns\">most significant contributors to greenhouse gasses<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>Use of recycled materials<\/li>\n<li>Innovative packaging (like shampoo bars) and soy-based inks<\/li>\n<li>Sourcing materials from organic or biodynamic farms<\/li>\n<li>Halting the use of possibly carcinogenic or endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) like parabens, phthalates, formaldehyde, polyethylene, chemicals ending with -eth and -oxynol, and unfortunately, many more<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/sustainability.uconn.edu\/2020\/09\/11\/sustainable-beauty\/#:~:text=The%20bottles%2C%20tubes%2C%20and%20containers,70%25%20ends%20up%20in%20landfills.\">University of Connecticut<\/a> estimates that the body product and cosmetics industry creates a whopping 120 billion units of packaging every year\u201470% of which lands in landfills. And as more information comes out about certain harmful ingredients, consumers, especially Millennials, and Gen Z, are beating the sustainable beauty drum, insisting that Big Beauty recognize and reform its unhealthy and wasteful ways.<\/p>\n<p>What follows is a list of beauty brands trying to do better for the good of the people and the planet. They\u2019re not all doing everything\u2014some are further along on their sustainability journey than others\u2014and given where things are, they could be doing more. But we don\u2019t have time to wait for perfect\u2014better is better. Doing something now is better than wallowing in nothingness to future detriment.
