We highlight the most exciting and innovative sustainable beauty updates from the past six months.

Evolving Biotechnology

Responsible Sourcing

Tackling Waste

Businesses are pushing for better research and ingredient development to boost its use – unlocking a future generation of formulas that would otherwise be beyond reach – and, fundamentally, to protect nature.

From upcycled ingredients to regenerative agriculture, nature-positive sourcing of cosmetic ingredients continues to be a crucial part of new beauty developments, with brands celebrating the power and beauty of nature through their sustainable product offerings.

To further minimise waste and reduce their carbon footprint, brands are finding solutions to better avoid plastics by adopting refillable packaging and eco-friendly materials as well as waterless product design. In doing so, smart businesses are maintaining product creativity and functionality with attractive branding and high-performing formulas.
