Cîme
Cîme skincare is a Belgian beauty label founded by two best friends, Isabel and Anke, and Anke’s father. The loyal fans of our magazine may already be familiar with this sustainable and natural brand. We are huge fans of it. Every product, shower gel, body wash, cleansers and so much more are made from plants from the higher mountains. In addition, nothing is tested on animals and the brand is completely transparent about the ingredient lists. It may seem obvious to you, but believe us, it is not.
Lush
Not a new, hip and trendy brand. Well an old acquaintance who is still worth mentioning in this list. In addition to being non-animal tested and completely handmade, Lush ‘s products recycle almost all of their packaging. You may be familiar with Lush’s famous black pots? Did you know that you can return it for recycling for free? Usually you get a free face mask for every five jars you bring back. Win win!
Girl Smells
This small-scale Berlin label focuses mainly on sustainable deoderant with natural ingredients. Many women do not find a deodorant that smells fresh, is suitable for sensitive skin and contains clean ingredients. Besides the fact that Girl Smells deodorant has all this, it is also refillable. No more throwing your empty can of deodorant into a random trash can without knowing for sure if it is the right one. From now on you can just top it up. Deodorant is of course not the only thing that has this nice label, you can also order lip gloss and body products, such as a detox mask for your armpits. Shop the Girl Smells products at www.girlsmellsbeauty.com or www.zalando.be .
Naive
Naïve arose after two cherry-fresh fathers noticed that even in baby products, harmful products are still present. That’s how the idea came to start up Naïf, natural and reliable products. Ingredients such as tomatoes, sunflower oil and apricots simply come from Dutch soil. In addition, the packaging of Naïf products is made from bioplastic. Bioplastic contains cane sugar as the main ingredient. This is a positive contrast to petroleum, which is in the plastic of many other beauty labels.
Sustainable tips
Some tips to be more sustainable with beauty products and your routine:
Avoid products in the form of aerosol cans as much as possible, opt for alternatives without propellants.
Avoid products with palm oil and palm fat.
Avoid plastic in the bathroom.
Don’t buy more than is necessary, minimize. That is much better for the environment.
