4 sustainable beauty brands to upgrade your self-care routine
In the age of TikTok trends and viral beauty routines, skincare has taken center stage like never before. This has not only revolutionized self-care but also emphasized the importance of every step in our skincare regimens. Skincare products not just sit directly on top of our skin, but also directly interact with our skin and in turn, our environment.
Here are four beauty brands that are leading the charge in sustainable skincare:
Versed skincare is an impact-driven beauty brand. Their ingredients are all vegan, ethically-sourced, and cruelty-free and the average post-consumer recycled (PCR) content in their packaging is 42% by weight.
