There are lots of health and beauty products on the market and easily accessible to people. Usually you don’t think twice about throwing a bottle of shampoo or shower gel out once you’ve used it up, but what if you did? In the spirit of Earth Day, here are four health and beauty brands that are consciously looking into their impact on the planet.
1. Lush Cosmetics
Lush’s products are made with natural ingredients. Lush also has “naked” packaging for most of their products which means there’s no plastic containers that ends up in landfills.
2. Love and Planet
Love and Planet can be found in many stores, including Target. They track and publish the statistics on their carbon footprint, water usage and waste generation.
3. Burt’s Bees
Burt’s Bees packaging is created with easily recyclable materials. Also, they use recycled plastics in the packaging for their health and beauty products.
4. The Body Shop
The Body Shop uses sustainable ingredients in their products that are found naturally in the world. Their products also are tested for biodegradability and safety to the environment.
Hopefully this helps you see that there are brands out there who are thinking about their footprint on the planet. Happy Earth Day, collegiettes.
