Rather than use cosmetics made with inorganic talc in plastic pots (and makeup brushes with animal fur), choose a zero waste brand that’s vegan (no beeswax or carmine in red/pink colours).
As most cosmetics contain cocoa butter and zinc/titanium dioxide, don’t let pets lick your face until you’ve washed them off!
Love the Planet (Scotland) offers a lovely range of sustainable vegan makeup, mostly sold in metal pots, then order refills in compostable pouches.
The range includes mineral foundations, concealers, powders, blush and eyeshadow. Everything is sustainably-sourced you can also buy vegan make-up brushes.
This brand was founded by a woman in Scotland who created popular reusable cleansing pads. She then realised there was a market for the cosmetics that her product was helping to remove, so set to work on creating one of the most sustainable makeup brands, north of the border.
