Skin ecostore2/2/2024 I don’t really boycott this because it’s so hard to find companies that have ZERO clean beauty fearmongering in their marketing. I HATE this kind of marketing – I’ve talked about why before in my post Clean Beauty Is a Scam and Won’t Give Us Safer Products. The final reason is that most eco-friendly brands are also into the whole clean beauty, “scientists are trying to poison you” thing. Some bioplastics also have a bigger carbon footprint than traditional plastics made using renewable energy. They can’t be recycled and most people don’t compost them properly, so they might have been better off just using a traditional recyclable plastic. They also break a lot in transport which means you end up wasting a lot of product, as well as a container. Sometimes brands switch to bioplastics that might be compostable, but not truly biodegradable. It takes a while to finish up most products, but a lot of skincare brands make it seem like you’re saving the world if you buy their serum.Īnother big reason is that plastic-free brands often make tradeoffs that aren’t necessarily well thought out, and it ends up being greenwashing.įor example, sometimes brands switch to really heavy glass that ends up having a huge carbon cost for transport. I’m usually pretty skeptical when it comes to brands that focus on single use plastic. Part of this is because I’m used to reviewing skincare and makeup, and compared to other sources of single use plastic in our lives, skincare just doesn’t account for that much. Zero Co is a household and personal care product company that focuses on reducing single use plastic.
