The conscious selection of raw materials in consideration of environmental and ethical criteria is becoming increasingly important even for manufacturers of conventional cosmetics.
Sustainability has long since become more than a temporary trend. Globally, we are seeing growing ecological awareness and, even in cosmetics, consumers are looking for natural formulations and demanding that producers treat nature with respect. The topic of sustainability is becoming an increasingly important one and is developing into a major differentiation point for cosmetic brands.
