#1. PAPR Cosmetics

At PAPR Cosmetics, we pride ourselves on our plastic free deodorant. Rather than box our beauty products in plastic packaging, we've opted for a more eco-friendly option.

Sustainable packaging that's both biodegradable and zero waste. So you can indulge in our natural products with only natural ingredients while giving back to the planet too!

#2. Neal's Yard Remedies

Neal's Yard Remedies is another beauty brand whose passion to create eco-friendly and clean beauty has made its impact all the way up to the UK government. Partnering with Greenpeace and Fauna & Flora International, this powerhouse in the cosmetics industry helped to ban the use of microbeads in the UK.

Their other sustainable practices include working with the World Land Trust to balance its carbon emissions and neutralize their carbon footprint. And since 2012, they've helped to save 1,000,000m² of endangered forest!

#3. Hydrophil

Hydrophil is a company that's all about sustainable living. Their vegan and cruelty free products are water-neutral so as to only use sustainable ingredients.

And they're a fair trade company which means that they're committed to ensuring decent working conditions and payment for farmers and workers throughout the entire supply chain.

#4. Wild Deodorant

Wild Deodorant's packaging may be made from durable aluminum and recycled plastic. But that's the only kind of aluminum you'll find in this aluminum free deodorant of theirs.

Plus, each of their deodorants come in zero waste, refillable packaging. All you need to do is order a couple of refills and you're good to go!

#5. Nudi Goods

All Nudi Goods products are formulated to be plastic-free, including their shipment methods! Plus, using as few organic ingredients as possible, this clean beauty brand says no to animal testing and only uses responsibly sourced mica.

Between its biodegradable packaging - and plastic free packaging at that - this beauty brand is the perfect addition to your beauty routine. Plus, they have an entire range of products to choose from.

#6. Davines

If there's one thing Davines detests, it's animal derived ingredients. Their mission to leave a positive environmental impact has influenced their commitment to organic and/or ethical farming.

#7. Love Beauty and Planet

Love Beauty and Planet has been making a name for itself in the cosmetics industry. Namely due to their 100% post-consumer recycled packaging!

Their vegan formulas with only natural ingredients for your body and hair make for the perfect additions to your beauty routine. And they even have specific formulas made for sensitive skin!

#8. The Body Shop

The Body Shop has been in the sustainable beauty game - and fair trade game - for quite some time now. Back in 1987, they launched their community fair trade program which sustainably sources ingredients and invests long-term in local communities.

We bet you didn't think mascara could be zero waste. But Izzy says it can!

Viori's waterless shampoo ingredients make for a welcome addition to your shower-time routine. And to make you feel even better about your purchase, they keep a running tally of the number of plastic bottles they've kept out of the ocean - nearly 3 million so far!
