TURN OVER A NEW LEAF

There is no such thing as minimal effort when it comes to the harrowing effects of climate change and deterioration of the earth as we know it. Even in as little as recalibrating your grooming kit to make space for eco-conscious products will make a dent in the persistent movement you have to be part of

NEAL’S YARD REMEDIES

It is fairly easy to make a promise, but committing to it in the long run proves to be a hair-pulling, shrug-evoking effort for most. Making full use of 100% renewable energy, supporting global communities, and actively protecting the oceans and reducing landfill, Neal’s Yard is bound to its mission and vision of a better, more sustainable future. On an even greater scale, the brand has been tackling climate change head-on, being carbon neutral for over 10 years now, and intending to curb its dent by 47% in 2025 and ideally, 87% by 2050. This persistent spirit trickles to its certified oganic offerings, such as the potent Firming Body Cream that firms and smoothens skin of all types.

ORIGINS

Powered by nature and proven by science, Origins prides itself with products that are formulated with the finest natural, certified organic ingredients, without use of chemicals and irritants such as parabens and animal ingredients. Running the gamut of skincare concerns, the brand provides solutions such as no-resistance skin-conditioning for a smooth shave with its Blade Runner Energizing Shave Cream. A generous lather over warm, wet skin will prove to be a seamless glide thanks to the presence of Kukui Nut Oil and Soybean Oil to give you that close, friction- and burn-free shave.

AVEDA

Long holding true to its reputation of being natural, pure, and safe, Aveda continues to push the ecoconscious envelope by crafting products that are packaged with a mindfulness for its ecological footprint. Following through with its valiant effort to maximize use of recyclable and post-consumer recycled materials, the brand is also the first to completely manufacture with 100% wind power in its primary facility. Borne from its cradle-tocradle environmental and social responsibility, it has developed unique formulations such as the Pure-formance Composition Oil, a multifunctional swirl of certified organic essential oils that nourishes, conditions, and treats the scalp and body, simultaneously energizing the sense and activating deep-seated chakras.

LUSH

Built on the promise to innovate and offer effective, one-of-a-kind products that are ethical and conscious, paying utmost consideration for its advocacy of nonanimal testing, Lush has been a paragon for fresh, natural, and handmade essentials. No by-product is spared from this steely allegiance, especially their highly popular moisturizers like the Vanishing Cream. This light cocoa butterfree formulation hydrates and soothes skin; ultimately delivering soft, healthy skin that is balanced with essential oils such as lavender, neroli, and geranium.

JOHN MASTERS ORGANIC

Guided by the belief that nature is still the best source for high-performing products, John Masters Organics harnesses this power to create exceptional products that are good for you and for the earth as well. Encouraging well-being and not compromising it, the beauty brand combines real ingredients with decades of expertise, and unerring innovation, to produce items that are at least 70% organic, much like the Bourbon Vanilla and Tangerine Hair Texturizer, an extra-strength blend that shapes hair into a desired style with its mix of castor oil and seven certified organic oils for shine and texture.

ORGANIC CARE

Not just hopping on the eco-conscious bandwagon for the sake of, Natures Organics has genuinely shaped its pioneering brand to develop close-to-nature and environmentally responsible formulations since its inception in Australia. A proud member of Choose Cruelty Free, an independent non-profit organization, it follows strict rigors and standards when it comes to their products, such as the Organic Care Shampoo that thoroughly cleans and enriches hair, leaving it to a silky soft finish. The plant-derived formula is housed in recyclable eco-friendly packaging that fully optimizes the cycle of nature.
