Earth Month was first established in 1970 following a massive oil spill in California but it didn’t achieve global reach until the 1990s. Now, over 140 countries participate in the annual demonstrate for support of environmental protection.
The best way to spend April would be reflecting on our consumption habits. We should all be aspiring to reduce our product consumption but should the need arise to invest in beauty or skincare, keep this list on hand.
These products are clean, sustainable, and in some cases waterless and refillable.
Dear Lucy
Price: $140
Dear Lucy is a Vancouver Island based small skincare brand with only one product. But that’s kind of the point. The refillable marine antioxidant serum is meant to minimize your skincare routine and the need to accumulate products by using vitamin C (10% THD), alpha-arbutin, niacinamide, and sustainably harvested Canadian seaweed extract to moisturize and reduce dark spots and wrinkles over time. So there’s no need to double up on toners, correctors, and wrinkle creams.
Ilia
Price: $65
The Ilia super serum skin tint is a fan favourite product and while it’s not refillable, Ilia is considered a sustainable beauty brand thanks to its fantastic transparency. The FAQ section of the brand’s website will answer every question you may have about its ingredients and practices in detail.
Kjaer Weis
Price: $44
Kjaer Weis launched in 2010 as a sustainable luxury beauty brand pioneering refillable packaging. The cream and powder face products have luxe metal cases with recyclable paper palette refills.
