Environmentally Responsible Industry-Leading Companies

When eco-conscious consumers choose beauty products, they look for organic options with no harsh or abrasive chemicals. In addition to the product labels, many consumers care about companies’ manufacturing practices and environmental responsibility. Take a look at these four industry-leading companies that take sustainability seriously.

Sephora is the leading chain of cosmetics and perfumes in France, and it’s also popular around the world. The company is successful largely due to its knowledgeable beauty professionals who are trained in the Science of Sephora, which teaches about skin types, makeup application techniques, and the history of makeup. There are approximately 1,900 Sephora stores in operation today, and many are located inside JCPenney department stores. Customers love being able to try out Sephora products in person to ensure they will look good.

As a leader in the beauty industry, Sephora believes it has a responsibility to build a better society. To show this commitment, Sephora continually works to introduce eco-friendly materials and processes into its products and packaging. One of the most recent changes is implementing LED lighting in all manufacturing facilities to save on electricity. You can find Sephora deals and learn more about the company on its Facebook page.

Aubrey Organics

One of the only cosmetic companies with a commitment to organic materials from fair trade sources, Aubrey Organics also working with farm communities around the world. The company uses natural vitamins, plant extracts, and the finest herbs in all of its products. Plus, all products are biodegradable and environmentally friendly. Batches of Aubrey Organics skin and hair products are mixed by hand to ensure quality and freshness.

Bath and Body Works

With hundreds of products ranging from fragrances to candles, Bath and Body Works is a staple in many American homes. Locations are prominent in malls and shopping centers across the United States, and the company frequently runs discount promotions on popular Bath and Body Works products to show appreciation to its loyal customers.

As part of lb brands, Bath and Body Works continually looks for ways to improve its environmental responsibility and sustainability. Every year, Bath and Body Works reduces its energy consumption and looks for ways to reuse materials. Most Bath and Body Works items are not organic, but the company continues to research ways to improve the environmental impact of all of its products.

Aveda

Estée Lauder took ownership over Aveda in 1996, but the company is still a separate entity. It sells cosmetics, perfume, and hair and skin products. Aveda’s mission is to be an environmental leader and set an example of caring for the world. That’s why all of Aveda’s products are based on the principles of Ayurveda, an Indian healing tradition that encourages environmental responsibility. Additionally, most of Aveda’s product packaging is made from plastics derived from plants and post-consumer recycled PET.

These four companies are environmentally responsible and deserving of your business. From organic products to eco-friendly manufacturing practices, these companies set the bar high.
