The Rise of Sustainable Personal Care

In recent years, there has been a significant shift towards sustainability in the personal care industry. Consumers are increasingly aware of the environmental impact of their purchases and are seeking out products that align with their values. This has led to a surge in demand for sustainable and handmade personal care items. * Sustainable Ingredients: Many companies are now using natural, organic, and ethically sourced ingredients in their products. This not only benefits the environment but also provides consumers with safer and healthier options.

Topics discussed include: -why switch to home/hand made personal care and cleaning products -“greenwashing” -what ingredients to look out for -using the EWG website to search store products for toxicity -personal and environmental impact of toxic ingredients and plastics -how to get started making your own products -ethical sourcing -cottage industry and government regulations and licensing for self care products and more!
