Each year on April 22nd, we celebrate Earth Day, a date to demonstrate support for environmental protection. Unfortunately, in our household, we have products that harm the planet, but luckily we can start choosing brands that offer the eco-friendly version of what we use the most.
We curated a list of our favorite brands and products and how they are working towards minimizing their footprint in the environment with recyclable packaging, natural formulas, and so much more.
Overall Sustainable Beauty Brands

The brand thoughtfully creates products, ensuring no living beings are harmed in the process.
