8 Sustainable Beauty Products We’re Obsessed With

Sustainable beauty products really are a thing. It can be in an ingredient or it could be the use of the packaging. Being more environmentally conscious is a huge trend at the moment and is becoming more on the rise in the beauty world. Brands are becoming more sustainable and this is making the world a better place to live. Help the environment be a wonderful place to live again by investing in some amazing sustainable beauty products. 

1. Face Halo Makeup Remover Pad

Wet wipes are one of the most unfriendly things for the environment. They are made up of plastic so they do not degrade for hundreds of years. However, Face Halo invented this small gift to the world – the makeup remover pad. Just add water to the pad and rub and watch as your foundation, mascara and lipstick gently lift off from your skin. This means that no chemicals are going down the sink or onto a plastic sheet in the bin! The super soft pad is really soft and gentle on your skin but it will turn a weird colour with use. Once you use it, you will not go back!

2. Soaper Duper Body Wash

Contained in recycled or recyclable plastic, this body wash is also free from all the nasty chemicals like parabens which end up in the water cycle. They are also micro-bead free. Their classic green bottle and product packaging is because in their plastic are green milk bottle tops. Also, with every purchase a donation of the money goes to Water Aid, a charity who provide clean water to third world countries who are not as fortunate as we are.

3. Lush Shampoo Bar

This ‘naked’ product – meaning it is not in any type of packaging and will be given to you in a paper bag to take home – is the new trend in sustainable beauty products. They foam up like normal shampoo and do not contain any of the nasty chemicals which can ruin your hair and ruin the water you drink. Lush are a company trying to create sustainable beauty one step at a time. They do a range of smells tailored to each hair type – what more could you ask for!

All the products under the brand have seaweed as an ingredient and their body butter is to die for. The refreshing smell and lightweight texture is great for your skin and leaves it feeling silky smooth, and you are doing your bit for the environment (and sea)!
