I’m a huge fan of keeping my life as simple and eco-friendly as possible, which includes my skincare. The beauty industry is notorious for its harsh treatment of the environment and animals. It’s been a growing of mine for years and I made a pledge to myself, the earth, and all her creatures to honor her and do minimal harm. This includes my skincare routine so I searched for some brands that have the same ethics as me. Without further do, here are some of my favorite eco-friendly and vegan skincare brands and why I love them.
