Sustainability is not just on the path to dominating the fashion industry but also the beauty industry. Billions of beauty products are packaged every year, most in single-use packaging. Beauty brands are finding more sustainable alternatives by creating more eco-friendly packaging that won’t be thrown out after one use. Some beauty brands are already ahead of the game and have sustainable, environmentally friendly packaging.
Everist
Everist‘s shampoo and conditioners are waterless, making them lighter to transport. Furthermore, they offer a program- Everist CapBack Program, where customers can send the plastic caps back to the company for free recycling. The brand is also carbon-neutral, and its packaging contains recyclable products.

Ethique
Many beauty brands are known to have primarily single-use plastic materials. However, Ethique has changed the game. Not only do they offer a variety of hair, skin, and body products, but everything down to the bubble wrap and packaging the items arrives in is made from eco-friendly sustainable materials. Additionally, they strive to ensure their products are as little production-intensive as possible.
