April 19, 2013

In the changing world of green movements, fair trade initiatives and all conserving resources, beauty companies have evolved their ideas to more than just presenting skincare and color trends.

Many companies use plastics, glass and paper packaging that make it simple to recycle, so think twice before tossing into a garbage bin. Instead of disposing jars from candles or body care, give new life to containers by using them for makeup brush storage, beauty organization, or turn them into unconventional piggy banks. Small jars from lip balms and eye shadows make great travel containers for jewelry and can also be used as refillable pots to take skincare along for trips away from home. Mascara wands can be sanitized and used for brow grooming, empty eye shadow trays can be used as custom mixing palettes for lipsticks or glosses and empty moisturizer jars make the perfect cotton or cotton swab holders. Get creative, the reusable ideas are endless!

With increasing social movements toward giving back in charitable efforts, more cosmetic brands are joining the effort to minimalize carbon footprint and honor the planet. Since Earth day is always a celebration of sustainability, community activism and eco-friendly conversation it is time to reflect on how cosmetic companies are making efforts year round to ensure we preserve the natural resources shared among populations worldwide.
