Choose the Right Skincare Formulas: Plant-Based, and Plastic-Free!

  • January 25, 2023

Skincare doesn’t have to be a dirty word. When it comes to taking care of your skin, the more natural and ethical the ingredients, the better!

That’s why we’re so excited to offer an all-new range of skincare products, made with plant-based ingredients and plastic-free packaging. No more worrying about nasty chemicals or unethical labour practices. Our new line-up is perfect for those who want to look after their skin the right way, without harming the planet.

So, what are you waiting for? Start shopping now and give your skin the TLC it deserves!

What Is the Best Natural Skin Care?

The best natural skin care is made with ingredients that are ethical, sustainable, and good for you. This means that they are plant-based derived from plants, made with plant-based ingredients, or using plant-based packaging.

Many people think that natural and organic skincare is the same, but this is not always the case. Natural skincare can be organic, but it doesn’t have to be. Organic skincare must meet certain standards, including being made with at least 95% organic ingredients. However, natural skincare can still contain synthetic ingredients, as long as they are plant-based.

Plastic-free packaging is another important consideration when looking for the best natural skincare. Plastic is not biodegradable, and it’s polluting our planet. It’s also a major contributor to the “Great Pacific Garbage Patch.” This is a floating mass of plastics and other debris that’s growing in size every day.

So, when you’re shopping for natural skincare, look for products that are made with plant-based ingredients, and packaged in plastic-free packaging.

Benefits of Plant-Based Ingredients

Not only are plant-based ingredients ethically sound, but they also have a wealth of benefits for your skin.
Plant-based ingredients are naturally derived, which means that they’re gentle on your skin and better able to absorb into the pores. This is opposed to harsher chemicals and synthetic ingredients, which can often lead to skin irritation.

What’s more, plant-based ingredients are packed with antioxidants and vitamins that help keep your skin looking youthful and radiant. They also help to fight free radicals, which can cause premature aging.

So if you’re looking for a more ethical and natural option, plant-based ingredients are the way to go.

Ecological Packaging Materials

Your skin is the biggest organ in your body, and it’s important to take care of it the right way. That means using natural ingredients in your skincare products, and ethical packaging materials that won’t damage the environment.

Plant-based ingredients are a great choice for your skin because they’re gentle and effective. They also come from renewable resources, which means they won’t damage the planet. And when you choose skincare products that come in plastic-free packaging, you’re doing your part to help reduce waste.

So why not choose a skincare brand that uses ecological packaging materials? They’re available out there, and they’re worth looking for.

Cruelty-Free and Ethical Formulations

Your skincare routine is so much more than just the ingredients in the products. It can also be an opportunity to think holistically about how these products were made and where they came from. Look for brands that are committed to creating their products in an ethical and cruelty-free way.

The fact is, many skincare and beauty brands test on animals or uses unethical sourcing practices. Avoid these companies, and instead look for brands that are eco-friendly, vegan, and safe for both people and the environment. Also consider opting for products with natural ingredients like plant oils, butters, and waxes that come from certified organic sources whenever possible, no more synthetic fragrances or fillers!

Sustainable Skincare Solutions

To ensure your skincare routine is as mindful and ethical as you planned it to be, you need to consider the packaging and containers your products might come in. When making a purchase, consider if the container is plastic-free and made from sustainable materials.

Look for skincare products that prefer to use aluminium tins, glass bottles, or card tubes. The best option for sustainable skincare packaging is eco-friendly containers

and those that can either be easily recycled, or are themselves made in a low-impact way like bamboo, sugarcane, and even seaweed! Those are some of the most compostable resources currently available on the market today.

A bonus: Some of these sustainable packaging materials are recyclable, so you can reuse them after you’re done with your product!

Ultimately, choosing plant-based, natural ingredients paired with plastic-free and or compostable containers will help keep your impact on the environment minimal and keep your skin healthier too.

Shopping Tips for Natural Skincare

Once you understand what kind of skincare formulas you want to use, it’s time to choose the best ones for you. Here are some tips for shopping for natural skincare products:

  • Read the labels. Make sure to read the labels so you know exactly what ingredients are in the product.
  • Look for plant-based and plastic-free packaging. Try to find skincare products that come in packaging made with either easily recyclable like aluminum, and or natural, biodegradable materials like glass or cardboard. This can help reduce your impact on the environment.
  • Do your research. Read reviews and do some research on brands before deciding which one to go with. Look out for ethical practices like animal testing and sustainability as well as certifications that show the product meets safety standards.
  • Ask questions. If you’re unsure about an ingredient or a product, don’t hesitate to reach out to customer service or a dermatologist for advice.
