Amazing Eco-Friendly Beauty Products
In the wake of climate change and increased awareness of environmental issues, people young and old are making the move towards sustainable products. Many products - like sunscreen and perfumes - have a direct effect on eco life, especially in our oceans. Small changes in our daily lives can have an impact, and a change to consider is shifting away from single-use products, toxic chemicals and redundant packing to embrace brands that offer sustainably sourced, plant-derived products. Here's our list of environmentally-friendly products that encourage a healthy ecosystem and keep us looking fab whilst making a small change!
Davines Single Shampoo: This company was created on the basis of sustainability. Most of their products use chemicals that are as harmless as possible, with an emphasis on recycled packaging. Their shampoo formula is 100% carbon neutral, and is 98.2% biodegradable.

Ren Clean Screen Mineral SPF 30: Another company that pledges to make products that help, not hurt, the planet. Ren Clean Skincare’s sunscreen is silicone-free, and avoids using products that are linked to coral bleaching and harming sea life. This is especially important for a lot of travel destinations where a high volume of tourists means an even higher amount of these coral bleaching ingredients are likely to affect the environment.

Yes to Cucumbers Hypoallergenic Facial Wipes: Facial wipes may seem like one of the biggest players in harming marine life, but this product is both biodegradable and compostable. This product is sure to wipe the day’s sweat and makeup away, without having a lasting effect on the environment. Most face wipes do not disintegrate, and can create sewage blockages or end up in the ocean where they will stay in the ecosystem for over 500 years. Yikes!
