This is the future direction for beauty. Natural/organic advanced to clean/sustainable, which is transitioning to circular/responsible. Enabling this progression are innovations that embrace such tenets as upcycling and sustainability, zero waste, low (or positive) carbon footprint, refilling/reusability, eco or recycled packaging (or package-free), water-consciousness, veganism/cruelty-free, social responsibility, etc.—all, at the same time, being safe for humans and the environment.
