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.
