The beauty industry is the most heavily criticized field in today's day and age. Known for its negative environmental impact due to the plastic packaging components and lack of multiple use products. As consumers become more socially aware than ever before, information starts to become apparent. The U.S. Environmental Production Agency has revealed that 33% of landfill waste can be traced back to the beauty industry and its products. As a result, these plastics are unable to break down due to the artificial, hard plastic exterior. Therefore, polluting soil and the water. Creating a toxic environment for all living beings on earth, including our food.
 Aside from the negative environmental toll, these beauty products are filled with harmful ingredients that destroy your health, inside and out. Because of these aspects, it is crucial more than ever to take immediate action on how to effectively change your beauty routines and avoid the greenwashing tactic companies are notorious for.Â
Being strongly aware of the ingredients that compose your beauty products is a great way to start navigating this journey. Skincare and makeup ingredients, as mentioned, have a major impact on your health and the environment. Seek out products that contain ingredients that can be easily researched and are understandable. Rosehip oil, shea butter, plant-based retinol, and jojoba are common ingredients found in earth conscious skincare. Steer clear of the ingredient labeled ‘fragrance’. This is a common cover that brands use to conceal toxins. This label could be anything from phthalates and parabens to various endocrine disruptors. When shopping for beauty products, look at the product label. What you want to see are scents derived from organic sources. This may include 100% natural essential oils from flowers, plants, and trees. Fragrance-free is also an amazing pick for those who want to bypass the fragrance confusion all together.
