As trends and generations change, we are starting to hear the word sustainability more and more everyday. However, this is not just a fashionable word, it is a commitment to yourself, to those around you and to nature.
We don’t yet have as many sustainable cosmetic products as we would like in our society. Many people still believe in the power of colored ads where a large quantity, bright colors and an extremely strong smell of the product means quality.
However, in reality it is the opposite. Most of such products are made out exclusively from water. Therefore, it is not uncommon for us to pay a lot of money simply for water. Bright colors and scents are often synthetic, so they can irritate the skin and sometimes lead to skin diseases over a longer period of time.
The use of plastic in cosmetics is often also a very sensitive problem. On average, a person consumes at least 20-30 packs of a liquid product per year. Most of them are not recyclable and will end up in our nature for hundreds of years.
Packaging is not the only plastic that ends up in our bathroom. Small plastic particles (microbeads) have been banned for some time in exfoliating toothpaste, face or body scrubs, but microplastics up to 5 mm can also be found in cosmetics. Some products may contain as much as 90 percent of plastic. During shower, microplastics travel through water pipes to reservoirs and become a harmful part of aquatic animal life, and eventually this is how it ends up in our food.
These are just some of the sensitive problems that arise without knowing what we are consuming. Therefore, we recommend choosing products consciously and responsibly, thus contributing to the conservation of the earth.
