Sustainability

What we do today leaves a lasting impact on the earth. All the generations to follow will either curse or praise us. My hope is that we are looked upon as responsible and innovative.

Greed, convenience and the me generation lost sight of the future. We want to ensure we are dialing back by using plant sources that are replenishable.

Plastic never goes away. Today billions of pounds of it can be found in swirling convergences making up about 40 percent of the world’s ocean surfaces. Every year thousands of seabirds, sea turtles, seals and other marine mammals are killed after ingesting plastic or getting tangled up in it. You can start cutting down on your plastic waste in a few simple steps: use reusable bags when you shop, ditch single-use water bottles, bags, and straws and avoid products made from or packaged in plastic whenever possible. Purchase from responsible companies.

Choose Fair Trade certified goods when possible to support companies dedicated to sustainable production and paying laborers a fair wage. Buy organic food whenever possible; it may cost a little more, but it keeps harmful pesticides out of our land and water, protecting farm workers, wildlife and your family.

When choosing make-up and skincare products, sustainability is extremely important. The bottles, tubes and containers used annually by the industry adds up to 120 billion units of plastic packaging. How does this hurt our planet? Of the 120 billion units of plastic packaging used each year, 70% ends up in landfills.
