Because an eco-friendly beauty bag is for all year round
Happy Earth Day 2022! This year, the theme is all about investing in our planet for a brighter future.

This means everyone and anyone can shop more planet-friendly products for a brighter future.

1. YSL Nu Bare Look Tint
If you want to make a truly sustainable beauty product, you have to start with the ingredients. That’s why YSL Beauty have partnered with the global NGO Re:wild on a new campaign Rewild Our Earth. The initiative is dedicated to reintroducing biodiversity to YSL’s key ingredient sourcing regions. From managing floods in Haiti, where the brand sources vetiver, to planting 400,000 trees in Madagascar (this is to future proof vanilla sources) the commitment is all about supply chains.
On Wednesday, the brand unveiled its Nu range. All of the products are sourced from YSL’s Ourika Community Gardens in Morocco where the brand has helped to reintroduce over 200 plant species since 2013. On top of boosting biodiversity, YSL continues to work with female co-operatives to source it’s eco-friendly beauty products in the area.

2. Boots plastic-free wet wipes
There’s been loads of rumours about the banning of wet wipes over the last few years – for good reason. Every year 11 billion wet wipes are used in the UK and around 90% of them contain plastic.

In response, high-street favourites Boots has promised to remove all wet wipes that contain plastic fibres from its shelves by the end of the year, which means everyone can make the switch to more eco-friendly beauty. The drugstore’s entire range, which totals at 140 different lines, will be replaced with plant-based, biodegradable alternatives.
