The on-going rescue for sustainable fashion has been rigorous by producing ethical clothing but what consumer forget is using the harmful chemicals and plastic bottles every day for their skincare routine.
The beauty industry has come under the spot light for negatively affecting the environment.
Though the industry doesn’t have a good record when it comes to sustainability, having non-recyclable plastic packaging and containers since forever now, the stakes are finally changing.
Consumer mindset is aiming for getting a clear conscious by contributing towards the environment in any way they can.
The emerging focus and shift to eco-friendly sustainable beauty products have gained consumer attention but still the question lingers on ‘what is sustainable beauty and where to find them?’
