SUSTAINABILITY FOR BEAUTY

Creating a sustainable beauty industry…

What are the opportunities?

The beauty & wellness industry is changing as consumers demand sustainable beauty products with less chemicals. They want to know what is in their products and what they are buying. They also want to cut down on excess packaging and plastic in particular. We have seen huge growth in reuse and refill options. However, what is in the containers is important too with the wide incidence of allergies like asthma and eczema.


These trends offer a number of opportunities around packaging and ingredient choice. And these are some of the topics you should be incorporating into your beauty marketing strategy.

KEY AREAS TO CONSIDER

PACKAGING

ONLINE SAFETY

ONLINE SAFETY

Plastic is a real area of focus with consumers and sustainable beauty brands are capitalizing on this trend. We have all been influenced by programmes like Blue Planet and seen that our marine life is being choked by plastic and microplastics.

Today's young people are strongly attached to social media and influencers, particularly in the beauty industry. It's important that brands are using their reach ethically and considering the online safety of their customers in their beauty marketing plans.

NATURAL WORLD

ONLINE SAFETY

NATURAL WORLD

Beauty products often contain ingredients from plants and herbs. The agricultural practices used can have a severe negative impact on soil health, access to water and wildlife. Adopting sustainable beauty initiatives helps to engender trust.

SUPPLY CHAINS

USE OF CHEMICALS

NATURAL WORLD

Many ingredients are cultivated overseas and often by workers who may not be paid a decent wage or enjoy safe working conditions. Any beauty marketing strategy should address these concerns honestly.

TRANSPARENCY

USE OF CHEMICALS

USE OF CHEMICALS

For the average person it is virtually impossible to understand all the ingredients on a beauty label. Any contemporary beauty marketing strategy should include honest explanations and education.

USE OF CHEMICALS

Thousands of chemicals are used in beauty and household products. Many have not been tested for safety and usually not in combination with others. Many brands are starting to focus on natural ingredients for sustainable beauty.

WHAT I CAN BRING

EXPERIENCE IN YOUR SECTOR

I am your potential customer. I have been seeking out safe, natural beauty and household products for over 20 years. Now I am one of the many doing that not one of the few. There is a huge opportunity for the industry to offer the features that consumers are demanding.


Beauty and wellbeing


From the early 2000s I began to actively learn more about ingredients in our everyday products and the benefits of organic cultivation. I discovered the links between certain chemicals and breast cancer risk. I then became a breast health educator and I talked to women about prevention and wellbeing. The views I expressed then are widely accepted today. As I wanted to recommend the best products to people, I was a consultant for pioneering organic beauty brand, Neal's Yard Remedies.


At that time, I became a non-executive director for prevention charity Breast Cancer UK (BCUK) and was introduced further to the science and research behind breast cancer risk, including the impact of certain hormone-disrupting chemicals and plastics.


I then went on to work as a freelancer for BCUK and worked with their CEO to set up an Ambassador programme to share empowering information with women in the workplace and the community. 


For my blog, I have interviewed inspirational sustainability leaders, Anna Brightman of UpCircle Beauty and Christina French of Essench

Organic household brand


The household industry faces very similar challenges as the beauty industry in terms of ingredients and packaging. For the growing number of conscious consumers it is part of living a healthy lifestyle. I developed a marketing strategy for organic cleaning and laundry company, Greenscents. I worked with the founder for 4 years to implement the strategy and move the brand forward. I have never met such loyal and enthusiastic customers! It was always my mission to educate people that the ingredients are just as important as the packaging.


During my time with Greenscents, I built up a strong relationship with the Beauty & Wellbeing team at the Soil Association and know many of the brands who are active in that space. As a result of that, I set up collaborations with a number of well-known organic businesses.


CROSS-INDUSTRY EXPERTISE

I have worked in wide range of mainly consumer-facing industries. When I moved on from live events, I worked in the fashion industry before joining my husband to run his landscaping business. Alongside my breast health work, I spent 4 years with campaigning organisation Fashion Revolution. The fashion industry has many connections with the beauty industry as well as sharing many of the same challenges. The hospitality industry is another industry which aims to inspire and is starting to address single use plastic and chemicals used inside properties. I have also become a sustainability advocate and freelance marketing director for a number of businesses within the tourism industry. 


This broad experience means that I have seen the best sustainable solutions in a number of different industries. I can share this knowledge and best practice with you.

CONTACTS

 As I have worked in the ethical arena for over 10 years, I have built up a substantial list of contacts. And if I don't have a specific contact, then I always know where to find one within the sustainable communities I am part of.
