As consumers, let’s decrease our eco-footprint to further push for sustainability. There’s a whole ~planet~ and ~society~ to consider each time we make a purchase, which means you should be shopping considerate retailers whenever possible.
Some best practices that go a long way:
- Shop eco-conscious packaging
- Look for naturally-derived ingredients
- Use paraben-free products and formulas
Once you’ve got your medicine cabinet overhauled with sustainably sourced products, the next step is to recycle recycle recycle. According to
TerraCycle, beauty and personal care products account for 1/3 of the landfill. It’s unreal. Shampoo and conditioner bottles, hairspray cans, face wash, deodorant, nail polish, shaving cream – all the bottles from these personal care products and more can be recycled, and part of updating your beauty routine includes being mindful for waste production and disposal.

Garnier’s partnership with TerraCycle.
As part of L’Oréal USA’s annual Volunteer Day, Garnier USA sponsored an opportunity with TerraCycle and GrowNYC where employees worked to install a community garden at the El Gallo Social Club in Harlem, NY. The garden was made from post-consumer recycled beauty empties collected through the TerraCycle Personal Care and Beauty Recycling Program that is sponsored by Garnier USA.
