In a world where ecology and respect for the environment are becoming increasingly important, it’s essential to take an interest in natural, eco-responsible alternatives in our daily lives. The beauty industry is no exception to this trend, and that’s why we invite you to discover our best tips for combining beauty and respect for the planet.
Eco-responsible make-up and cosmetics
Many make-up and cosmetics brands have chosen to turn to more responsible, environmentally-friendly production methods. Adopting these products means supporting a responsible approach while taking care of your skin. But how do you choose the right products? Here are a few tips:
- Choose products bearing ecological or organic labels, such as Cosmébio, Ecocert or NaTrue, which guarantee the quality and natural origin of the ingredients used.
- Choose recyclable or refillable packaging to limit waste.
- Promote short circuits and local brands, to encourage the local economy and reduce the carbon footprint of transporting products.
Eco-responsible make-up essentials
To make things easier for you, here’s a list of a few essentials to include in your makeup bag:
- Organic foundation: provides natural coverage and a velvety finish, while respecting sensitive skin and the environment.
- Natural mascara: enriched with beeswax or castor oil, it lengthens and thickens lashes without damaging them.
- Mineral eyeshadows and blushes: pigmented with mineral powders, they offer perfect hold and prevent irritation.
- Solvent-free nail polishes: composed of water and natural pigments, they are less harmful to nails and the environment.
The latest skincare trends
Beyond make-up, skin care is also essential for a fresh, radiant complexion. Here again, natural and eco-responsible products are in vogue. Here are some of the latest skincare trends:
Natural cleansing oil
Very much in vogue, natural make-up removal oils effectively remove make-up while nourishing and protecting the skin. Vegetable oils such as jojoba, coconut or sweet almond oil are particularly prized for their cleansing power and gentleness.
Organic face serum
A true concentrate of natural active ingredients, organic face serums are applied before moisturizers to reinforce their action. There are serums to suit every skin type and their specific needs: anti-aging, moisturizing, purifying…
Natural products to pamper your hair
Hair, too, deserves special attention, and natural products can work wonders to restore its strength and vitality. Here are a few tips:
Solid shampoo
Economical and ecological, solid shampoo is the ideal ally for hair care that reduces waste. Composed mainly of natural ingredients, it gently cleanses while respecting the balance of the scalp.
Vegetable oil baths
To deeply nourish and repair damaged hair, there’s nothing better than a vegetable oil bath. Apply argan, avocado or coconut oil generously to your lengths and ends, leave on for several hours or even overnight, then shampoo gently.
Eco-responsible Nail Art
Nails, too, can be enhanced in a responsible way! Here are a few ideas for original, eco-friendly nail art:
Natural nail polish
As mentioned above, there are now solvent-free nail polishes made from natural ingredients. These offer a varied palette of colors for all your nail art desires.
Stickers and decals
To add a decorative touch to your manicure, opt for biodegradable and/or compostable stickers or decals. You’ll easily find different designs on the Internet to personalize your nails to your taste.
