The past decade brought about not only more environmental mobilization but also an increase in consumer awareness. More and more, buyers are choosing eco-friendly brands over the cheapest, high plastic ones. The even greater news is that consumers no longer have to choose affordability over sustainability. For over a decade beauty companies have been taking the necessary steps towards a more sustainable beauty industry. It was about time!
So, without further ado, here are some great beauty brands that are zero waste right now.
Ethique
The name says it all. From the moment it was born in 2012, Ethique became the first beauty company to kick the plastic to the curb. This brand from New Zealand is plastic and cruelty-free, vegan and even their shipping is free of plastic.
This brand sells haircare and skincare cosmetics and you can even find some products for your pet companions.
Plaine Products
This hair brand sells refillable vegan bath and body products, which means you will only buy one bottle of shampoo and conditioner and keep using them for the rest of your life.
They sell products for your hair, body, and face, and you can purchase them individually or through a monthly subscription.
