Sustainability in Cosmetics

“Sustainable development is the masterful balance of meeting our own needs without jeopardizing future generations’ ability to do the same.”

Natural and organic cosmetic companies are the ones who are leading the way in CSR (corporate social responsibility) and sustainable development.
The term “sustainability” is becoming more and more common in the industry.
Today it is essential to respect the environment and to do our best to preserve the planet.
The world of cosmetics increasingly tries to best meet the expectations of consumers who are attuned to organic, natural and products that help the planet.

Cosmetic products of natural origin are more appreciated than so-called traditional cosmetics because of the absence of harmful products dangerous to our health and to the planet. People can feel good about what they are putting on their skin and also know that it is helpful to the environment.

These products are also important in the world of cosmetology because they are biodegradable, meaning they are decomposed by biological organisms in a favorable environment.

We at -417 believe in delivering the best product possible. Clean Beauty helps us achieve this goal by delivering ingredient transparency, proving product efficacy and eco-ethical steps towards a more sustainable future.
