The newest trend is beauty is the Blue Beauty movement. Created by the founder of Beauty Heroes, Jeannie Jarnot, Blue Beauty aims to create beauty products that support a bluer planet. Mainly, these products support ocean conservation, feature reef-safe and ocean life safe ingredients and zero-waste or plastic-free packaging. Since these companies focus on earth-friendly ingredients, most of these companies will work for all types of skin or hair including sensitive, dry and oily! By using these brands, you can be sure that the ocean and its inhabitants will be around for years to come so check them out!

This is a product that I have been using for years without knowing about how eco-friendly and blue-friendly the company was! Using collagen as a health supplement helps with hair, skin, nails and most importantly, bone and tendon strength. All their products are free of all allergens and the ingredients are ethically-sourced and have no additives so you can be sure you are getting strictly the best collagen on the market!
With pride, Honua Hawaiian Skincare features the best ingredients the islands have to offer, expertly crafted and are always clean, green and ocean-friendly. Honua, which means “earth” is the basis for all their products that are a representation of what the island gives them to use: from soil to skin to soul.

If you’re into health foods, you’ve probably heard of Moon Juice. The LA founded and based company promotes plant-sourced products that help both the body and mind. Using raw vegetables, fruits, herbs, roots, nuts and more, founder Amanda Chantel Bacon wanted to create a line that was holistic and helped people beyond the eating or drinking something, but that helps all the way to the spiritual level. Try all their products, from the drinks to snack to beauty products, this company does it all while caring for the planet!
If you are an outdoor 24/7 type of person, you need a reliable sunscreen that is also ocean-friendly, look no further than surfmud! Made by surfers who were looking for a natural alternative to traditional sunscreen, they created their own Zinc based sun barrier made from the best ingredients Australia had to offer. The company offers the cream as well as a more traditional lotion and even offers one for kids! With zero-waste packaging and all-natural ingredients that are good for you and the environment, once you try surfmud, you’ll never go back to regular sunblock.
Having ocean-friendly beauty accessories are just as important as the actual products you are using. Marley’s Monsters are reusable goods for beauty, home and more. Founder Sarah realized once she had children how important having products that were earth-friendly and reusable were so important especially when it comes to the disposable world of raising a family and running a house. Since then, she has created a whole line of products that will help the environment and save you money. In addition to handmade cloth products, she also offers more zero-waste beauty products you have to try. I love the facial rounds that get makeup off and are just go in the washing machine once used to be used again!
Finally, you can’t forget to check out the company that the Blue Beauty movement was born out of! Beauty Heroes aims to be the go-to source for healthy, natural beauty featuring brands that are not only great for you but are also earth-conscious. They are a box subscription service, and every month, you’ll receive a box with clean-beauty products valued at $90 and over! They believe that ingredient integrity is everything which is why they very open about their own ingredients and those in the products they promote. With the new Blue Beauty movement, Beauty Heroes hopes that they can teach people to truly care about the products they buy and to live lighter by buying fewer products and loving the ones you do buy till the last drop!
