Skin Nerd: Why we should all embrace refillable beauty

It’s getting easier to shop eco-friendly skincare, says Jennifer Rock

Skin Nerd: Using a reusable shopping bag in a zero waste store is one way to embrace the refillable beauty trend.

Although not historically known for its eco-friendly credentials, the beauty industry has come a long way in the quest for a greener approach over the past few years. One of the biggest contributors to plastic waste, the global beauty industry produced 142 billion units of packaging in 2018.* 

This figure is a stark wake-up call to many brands (including my own) who strive to responsibly produce products without negative impact on our environment. As we approach Earth Day, I am proud to be part of an industry that is listening and working hard to give us all the tools we need to make more sustainable choices.
