When it comes to the health of our planet, there’s no time to waste. Right now, there are more than five trillion pieces of plastic on or near the ocean surface – and an estimated one-third of it comes from beauty and personal care products.

Hers is a brand that cares deeply about closing the loop and creating packaging that’s highly covetable and also sustainable – in an achievable way.
Here are the brands taking sustainability and packaging responsibility seriously.
