meaning they are toxin-free, have no artificial fragrances, and are non-GMO certified. Unlike green beauty, blue beauty revolves around the impact packaging has on our marine life and the damage we inflict on our oceans. But blue beauty doesn't stop at our shorelines. Spearheaded in 2018 by Jeannie Jarnot at Beauty Heroes, blue beauty also aims to make a positive contribution to sustainability through companies working together to become carbon and plastic negative (offsetting more waste than they create), supporting sustainable farming practices, planting trees, and giving to environmentally conscious causes. Slow Beauty Slow beauty is all about mindfulness—using fewer (but better) beauty products with a focus on lessening product consumption and waste. Gone are the 10-step (or more) beauty routines. Many clients are becoming aware of the tendency to overconsume, overdo, and overlook their beauty routine's effect on the environment. The good news: Due to the pandemic, our slower-paced and more-conscious approach to just about everything in our lives has seeped into our beauty routines. Whether it's considering the amount of waste your business produces on a daily basis, understanding sustainability from a place of product ingredients and packaging, or educating clients on how to move with you into more sustainable practices, sustainable beauty should be more than just a trendy catchphrase—it's a best practice.
