Good on Garnier for switching to using non virgin packaging. More can be done.
Great initiatives here
Interesting news about Garnier , hopefully more brands will do the same in the future.
Ha ha happiness lotion. Don't leave home without it!
Some interesting product launches
Glad to see that brands are becoming more environmentally friendly
Garnier, wow! Excellent news =D
Wow Invisalign is something I look forward to
Good on Garnier & Glow Lab! Less plastic is always a good thing.
I also congratulate L'Oréal for introducing an LGBTQI+ scholarship!
Excellent to hear that companies are working on being better for the environment. When you look at how many ladies take part in this site and how many products we must use in a year…wow. Its good to know companies are working on reducing landfill.
I've made a note of products I wouldn't mind trying so I can investigate them on my next shopping trip. I love the positive moves some of the companies have made towards environmental sustainability.
Glow Lab Rosehip Oil. Love Rosehip Oil. The idea of Body Shop Vitamin E Skin Cooling Gel Mist is a great idea for summer.
Thanks for the news! So handy to have everything in one post 🙂
I love Glasshouse candles, and A Moment in Tokyo sounds absolutely divine.
Gonna check out the Lumiskin!
Love to hear about all this! My daughter and I both love Glow Lab stuff.
Th was wondering why The Body Shop released this spritz during Winter. It sounds like something I would use in Summer
Thanks BH what an amazing comprehensive list of well known products.
Definitely haven't tried Abeeco Bee Venom Lip Plumper sounds great.
Well done to L’Oréal introducing a scholarship. Some great product launches. The cooling eye gel from Rodman + Fields sounds interesting. The Body Shop vitamin E Cooling Mist Gel, also sounds like something I’d like to try.
I have a Lumiskin cleansing device and would recommend it, my skin feels so much cleaner.
Love these articles, lots of information.
I've smelt it & it's not bad. I'm not a huge fan of floral scented things, but A Moment in Tokyo is one I could tolerate I think. (Not that I'm about to buy it as (a) it's not my bag & (b) I've got 6 candles from 2 different companies on their way to me!)
So glad that some of these companies are making an effort to help others (scholarships) and help the planet (sustainable products).
Happy to see some companies are becoming more aware of their affects on the environment.
