Sustainable Skincare Products

We all want to make our skin care regime to be sustainable.

One of the key changes that have happened in the industry to encourage eco-friendly skin care is the reduction of the use of microplastics. Microplastics are found in exfoliation skin care products and are not soluble in water. They are so small that they can pass through water treatment filters and eventually end up in the sea. Many sustainable skincare products have created eco-friendly ones by substituting microplastics with natural alternatives such as quartz sands or plant-based products such as nut shells and husks.

Change To A Eco-Friendly Skincare Regime

Many of us have skin care regimes each day, and old habits can be hard to change. However, collectively a minor change could have a huge impact. Maybe stop using disposable face wipes and use a hot cloth to cleanse each day. We all know that the majority of face wipes end in landfills and that face wipes don’t really clean our skin as well as they could do.

Zero Waste Skincare

Recently many brands providing natural and eco-friendly skin care products have paid close attention to their packaging and have also come up with alternative ways to do this such as deodorant creams and shampoo bars. Refilling options have also become very popular so that containers can be recycled so there is zero waste.

At Etikora, we feel this is really important and we want to encourage people to use vegan and organic skincare products too.
