WHAT IS
“eco-friendly”
BEAUTY?
This category of beauty products uses ingredients produced from renewable resources, such as argan oil and aloe vera, so they have minimal impact on the environment. The term also refers to packaging made from recyclable materials.
Products with reduced or recyclable packaging help eliminate waste. The packaging for some products also may be made with previously recycled plastics.
Recyclable
Beauty products with sustainable ingredients, such as plant extracts and oils, are often from sources that can be replenished and that break down
after use without
environmental damage.
sustainable
The “cruelty-free” label means neither the product nor any of its ingredients was tested on animals. Vegan products also do not use animal ingredients such as beeswax or carmine.
cruelty-free
Many labels such as “clean” and “all-natural” lack regulated definitions; however, “clean” products typically use ingredients that are nontoxic (for you and the planet) and cruelty-free. “All-natural” products do not use any synthetic ingredients.
