These brands are the key to a zero-waste beauty routine

By Sofia Santeliceson August 30, 2019

Going zero-waste is a heavy responsibility. I mean, how can a person not produce waste in this capitalist society? Almost everything is sold in some kind of plastic packaging. And if in paper, it isn’t 100 percent biodegradable—which still makes it end up in landfills. Untouched. And piling up.

With the earth’s recent demands for change, consumers are now aware and conscious of purchases. But let’s face it: Who needs more environmental awakening than the producers themselves? The companies who relentlessly produce products that are not recyclable, biodegradable, or reusable, are responsible for responding to the environmental needs of the planet, and the demands of the consumers.

It is true that there aren’tenough brands who promote a zero-waste lifestyle, but we can now see that more companies are slowly venturing into more sustainable habits.

However, with the drastic environmental demands of our planet, being cruelty or environmental friendly isn’t enough. It is crucial that brands start to consider alternative ways of packaging their products to be able to produce less to zero waste—whether through compostable or refillable packages, or even accepting empties.

If you want to start that minimal waste lifestyle that will still cater to your beauty needs, here are some brands for you.

Body Food Natural
