Part 2/8:
Unsustainable makeup extends beyond harmful effects on the planet. Many products contain ingredients that can jeopardize personal health. Research indicates that women may be exposed to as many as 168 synthetic chemicals daily through beauty products. This staggering figure highlights the need for consumers to be knowledgeable about what they apply to their skin.
To mitigate these risks, it’s essential to focus on cosmetic brands that prioritize transparency, ethically sourced ingredients, and environmentally considerate packaging. The ideal makeup should feature organic, plant-based components, such as plant pigment extracts and oils, while also avoiding harmful substances that do not align with a sustainable ethos.
