OK, we get it: you can’t live without your moisturizer or mascara. But you don’t need to ruin the environment with your beauty regime. Instead, seek out beauty companies that are keeping Mother Nature in mind with eco-friendly packaging or those that can be reused so that they won’t end up in landfills. Add these four sustainable beauty products to your arsenal and you’ll be gorgeous and a planet saver, too. —Jennifer Cox
Kora Organics’ Berry Bright Vitamin C Eye Cream ($54) is a certified organic brightening and nutrient rich eye cream that uses a 5.5% active blend of stabilized Vitamin C and natural sources of Vitamin C to target the appearance of aging. It helps create firmer, more youthful-looking skin around the delicate eye area. Certified organic Kangaroo Paw Flower, Kakadu Plum, Cloudberry, Red Ginseng, and Quinoa provide a rich source of antioxidants, boosting skin’s radiance and smoothing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. And the jar is refillable too!
Did you know that 35 per cent of Lush’s product line comes without packaging, doing away with access disposable wrappers? A lot of their bath bombs, like the one called LAKES ($8), is proudly packaging-free. Not only that, but the slow-spinning frother gently releases swirls of colour, luster, and fragrance that contains creamy osmanthus to lend an apricot-like note, and a warm, earthy base of myrrh and labdanum for a sparkling amber scent.
Sappho’s Maximum Intensity Vegan Mascara ($34) has a gentle and kind formula that creates intensely black, luscious, long lashes that won’t smudge. It is made from a clean, vegan formula and has a silicone wand to perfectly separate each lash. This mascara is also buildable from light to dramatic.
The Seed To Skin Scrub from Céla ($42) lets you bring the spa right into your own personal shower! Made entirely from natural, local ingredients, this scrub contains finely milled Amazonian cupuaçu seeds that gently exfoliate, dislodging surface impurities and debris while stimulating your lymphatic system to promote toxin elimination, revealing a lit-from-within glow that’s more than skin-deep.
