It’s trending on TikTok, featured on talk shows, and your group chat’s favorite topic. Ethical and sustainable beauty products are buzzier than ever, and you’re all in… sort of. You love the idea of supporting the planet, but the truth is, you’re not exactly sure what makes a product sustainable or which ones are worth it (read: actually work).
Thankfully, if you shop at Sephora, there’s an easy-to-use method for finding planet-friendly staples: the Clean + Planet Positive seal. Look at it as the next level up from the Clean at Sephora seal—not only does any product marked with the green logo need to leave out a long list of ingredients like phthalates and insoluble plastics, it also has to meet a strict set of four eco-conscious criteria.
Think: responsible packaging (banning single-use items or unnecessary materials), sustainable sourcing (cruelty-free and consciously harvested), and companies with a climate commitment (like carbon-neutral operations). And on top of all that? Sephora’s Clean+ brands donate at least one percent of their profit to an environmental cause.
In other words, it’s self care you can feel really, really good about. Ready to start shopping responsibly? Add a few of these high-quality makeup and skin-care essentials to your cart.
