Salon professionals have the power to transform not only their clients’ looks but also the beauty industry as a whole. National Clean Beauty Day is the perfect opportunity to champion conscious consumerism and make a positive impact. In this blog, we dive into waste reduction, animal cruelty, ingredient awareness, and offer valuable steps for you, the savvy stylist, to make informed choices when it comes to beauty products.
According to a report by Zero Waste Week, the beauty industry produces over 120 billion units of packaging annually. Additionally, the use of single-use products, excessive packaging, and the disposal of expired or unused beauty products further contribute to waste generation. It is important for the industry and consumers to prioritize sustainable practices, such as reducing packaging, utilizing recyclable materials, and promoting product refill options, to minimize the environmental impact.

The beauty industry generates mountains of waste. Let’s break free from this cycle! Discover how embracing brands with sustainable packaging and refill options (like Oway!) can revolutionize your salon.

Cruelty-Free Beauty: Compassion is Key.
As salon professionals, we have a duty to champion the welfare of our furry friends. Say goodbye to animal testing! Learn about certifications like Leaping Bunny and PETA’s cruelty-free logo that resonate with compassionate clients. Encourage your salon to exclusively stock brands that align with your values. Together, we can create a kinder, more beautiful world!
