You have seen the words “Green”, “Eco-Friendly” and “Sustainable” in beauty product ads these days. Ever thought about what they mean?


Let’s start with simple words. Sustainability in the beauty industry means making products without using any resources that can damage the environment and taking people's well-being into consideration. Green can either mean that the product is organic or is made up of all the natural ingredients. Always remember one thing there is a difference between organic and natural. Organic products are the seeds that you grow and harvest while natural products mean they don’t contain chemical ingredients.


But it has been seen that companies are using these words just to promote their brand without meaning it. Which is called greenwashing. Then what’s the point of using these words?


With the beauty trends and requirements, customer demands have also been changing. Now customers are more interested in the process than the product. Also, it has been seen that the natural cosmetic market has grown more rapidly than conventional cosmetics.

Role of sustainability in the beauty industry

Now that you are aware of what sustainability means, let's take a look at why sustainability is important in the beauty industry.

  1. Environment friendly

People who make sustainable products are environment-friendly because they try not to use any chemicals that could pollute or harm the environment. Moreover, sustainable products do not include any animal ingredients and are neither experimented on animals. Instead of wasting plastic packaging and polluting the environment, companies, such as MaGéAu Naturel, ensure they offer refills and glass packaging.

  1. 100% safe to use

The major reason why green cosmetic products are so popular is that it is made up of organic, natural, cruelty free, or vegan ingredients. And every skin type can use them without worrying about damaging their skin due to chemical products and ingredients. People who have sensitive skin can also use them because those products will not cause any type of irritation or allergic reaction on the skin.
Sustainable products do not contain any type of artificial color or chemicals.
