Reusable and Refillable is the Key to Sustainable Beauty
Let these clean beauty brands fill the quota for reduce, reuse, and recycle.
The planet is heating up, the garbage is stacking up, and our water is drying up. It is why, as a generation, we have scrolled, clicked, and sought after clean beauty brands that actively decrease their carbon and chemical footprint and improve their formulation. We're talking organic, vegan, cruelty-free beauty. But while we've focused on the genesis of a beauty product's life, some brands have recently paid attention to the end.
According to Euromonitor International, in 2018, the U.S. generated nearly 7.9 billion units of rigid plastic containers for beauty and personal care products—a majority of which aren't recyclable nor reusable. It's created a plastic crisis, one we can track all the way to small Indonesian fish markets. It's categorically not good; frankly, it's catastrophic.
It's a problem that major brands have been contending with. L'Oreal has made pledges to decrease their plastic by 50 percent, while skincare brands like Guerlain and Tata Harper have created refillable cartridges for their higher-end skincare.
If sustainability is genuinely an issue you care about, it should be a welcome surprise that you mustn't lose luxury products. Here L'OFFICIEL has you covered for a complete beauty routine using products that are refillable or reusable—decreasing your footprint, improving your sustainability, and enhancing your natural beauty.
