Beauty doesn’t have to cost the earth, so why do beauty products have such a detrimental effect on our planet? We can do our part by opting for sustainable beauty; with recycled packaging, ethical resourcing, and cruelty-free formulas. The best part is - these products are still high performing.
Read on to discover our sustainable beauty picks that you’re going to keep reaching for this season.
Briogeo - Don’t Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Hair Mask
The sea and sand can be so much fun during summer, but they’re not always good for your hair. Salty air and sea water can dry out your locks, so it’s important you have the perfect hair mask to nourish and protect. This hair mask from sustainable brand Briogeo offers deep conditioning and will give you weightless, soft lengths all summer long.

Glow Recipe - Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops
Everyone’s about that glowy summer skin at the moment and you can achieve the look yourself without booking a costly facial.
These dew drops from Glow Recipe contain niacinamide to help to smooth skin texture (plus it’s great for treating acne too). Not only will your skin be smooth but the clever formula will give you a natural glow - completely makeup-free!
40ml £31.64
Ultra Violette - Supreme Screen Hydrating Facial Sunscreen SPF50+
Of course, you can’t leave the house without a trusty sunscreen during the hotter months so it’s worth investing in one that’s good for your skin.
Not only is this sunscreen hydrating and sustainable but you can be sure it won’t leave a white cast either. Whilst keeping you protected, its vitamin C-containing formula will plump and freshen up your skin all at the same time.

Danessa Myricks - Beauty Colourfix 24-Hour Cream Colour - Foil
We’re going for clean, minimalist makeup this year and what's better than a simple cream that can be used in so many ways?
These highly pigmented cream colours can be used on your face to highlight your complexion or packed onto the eyes for a beaming evening look. Our favourite shade is ‘Nebula’, but secretly we love them all!
10ml £18.00
REN - Clean Skincare Clarifying Clay Cleanser
REN Clean Skincare are one of our favourite brands when it comes to sustainability and performance. Their zero-waste pledge is truly impressive, and you can be sure that you’re supporting a company that’s really giving back to the planet.
However, their sustainability efforts aren't the only thing we love, their products are amazing too! For example, this clay cleanser is perfect for deep cleaning the skin, helping to draw out impurities without overly stripping your skin of its natural oils. A perfect combination!
