Love Beauty and Planet isn’t just cute AF, the brand is on a long and purposeful journey toward making Mother Earth a happier, healthier place. Their bottles are made from 100% recycled plastic, they’ve formulated their products to be “fast rinsing” to minimize water consumption, and they’re transparent about their carbon footprint with clear goals set to continue reducing said footprint. They also consistently engage with their customers to keep them mindful about their impact on the world, which we love.

Face Halo aims to stop bathroom waste in its tracks via reusable makeup cloth removers. Not only do the products save space in landfills – replacing up to 500 single-use wipes or cotton rounds – but the non-toxic HaloTech fibers on each cloth effectively remove cosmetics, gunk, and grime from your face with just water. You have a few options to choose from, and there’s also a Face Halo BODY if you want to replace your bacteria-laden loofah.

Clean, natural ingredients meet high quality skincare in Naturopathica, founded by heralded esthetician Barbara Close. The brand’s a cult-favorite among beauty editors and aficionados — even those who aren’t necessarily always into the “green beauty” scene. We love that Naturopathica’s ingredients are sustainably and responsibly sourced, that their vendors earn fair wages, that their products are housed in recycled glass, and that they never ever test on animals.

There are a handful of eco-conscious fragrance brands out there, but few are quite as eloquent and wearable as Floral Street. The British brand’s EDP packaging is divinely gorgeous, and the material it comes house in is completely recyclable and biodegradable, as well. They’re also one of a few brands that harnesses renewable energy in their production lines. Founder Michelle Feeney tells Forbes, “The beauty and fragrance industry have been slow to address the environmental issues that packaging can create, and I wanted to start a brand that challenged this—a brand that leads.”

Specifically, the French brand has a laser-focus on improving the wellbeing of animals across the earth, raising awareness about endangered species, giving voice to urgent environmental causes, and fighting climate change to ensure they have a place to call home.

Nordic-inspired skincare brand Lumene utilizes wild-crafted, sustainable ingredients that are hand-picked in the Finland countryside. This unspoiled sanctuary of a country boasts the purest water in the world and a bounty of botanicals – such as organic birch sap, wild cloudberry, sea buckthorn, and chaga mushroom – that nourish, heal, and protect skin. The brand works diligently to reduce waste, as well, by increasing their usage of recycled plastics and utilizing bio-based or biodegradable materials.
