Ethique - Personal Hygiene, Beauty, and Household Products
Pros: everything is compostable, many products to choose from based off your skin/body/hair type, loyalty rewards program for every purchase
Cons: higher prices (need to normalize these products to drive that down - reward program helps), quicker turnover
Review: Despite having to buy these pricer items a bit more frequent than your typical products, they are so worth it. They smell amazing and make your hair, face, and body feeling even better. We especially love the shampoo, conditioner, face wash, body soap, and hand wash & body lotion concentrates.
Happy Sustainability Sunday! Today we are here to talk to you about what none of you have been asking for, our daily beauty regimen. Realizing that soap and water isn’t going to cut it, we knew we had to find products that were gentle on our skin and the planet. Thats when we found @ethiqueworld
Ethique is here to revolutionize the cosmetics industry. Offering a whole line of plastic free, natural cosmetics in a bar form (from facial scrubs to hair conditioners), they leave your body feeling clean and free of guilt. They toss the bottles aside and create all the bathroom essential products you need to stay fresh.
With 80 billion plastic shampoo and conditioner bottles thrown out globally every year, and only 9% of plastics recycled worldwide, something has to be done. Their goal is simple: reduce the amount of plastics that are thrown into landfills and our oceans. A new study even shows that thousands of pieces of microplastics - enough to make a credit card - are consumed by each of us…PER WEEK!!!
Body, meet bar. One of their beauty bars is only 8% of the carbon footprint of the equivalent liquid product. The ingredients are all cruelty-free and vegan certified, free from palm-oil, ethically and fairly sourced, and 100% plastic-free. And just when you think they couldn’t be more perfect, they plant one mangrove tree for every purchase and donate 20% of all profits to charity. We need to ditch single-use, disposable plastic, and make the simple switch to solid bars that come in plastic-free packaging. They even designed these cute, bamboo compostable storage containers for any of your bars!
We all have our daily cleaning and beauty routines, which adds up to whole lot of plastic waste. Ethique is challenging an industry that is notorious for its unsustainable and inhuman practices. They have vastly improved since they first started, and are only getting better and expanding their product line. Ethique really sets the BAR high, on sustainability! So let’s #giveupthebottle, avoid those harsh chemicals, and help unclog the ocean (and our pores) from plastics!
