Do you make New Year’s resolutions? If so, we have one that will improve both your life and the environment. What is it exactly? It's simple: instead of conventional cosmetics, choose natural cosmetics free from chemicals. 100% natural cosmetics offer benefits not only for your skin but also for the environment. Read on to find out why high-quality natural cosmetics are a more eco-friendly choice.
-
Natural ingredients don’t burden the environment
Natural soaps, shampoos, and face creams are made from plant-based oils, essential oils, and herbs that are gentle on our planet. Thanks to their natural composition, they are biodegradable, meaning they do not release harmful chemicals into the environment during use or disposal. -
No animal testing
Natural cosmetics are cruelty-free, as no animals are harmed during their production. Instead, testing is conducted on groups of human volunteers or through alternative methods. This approach is not only more ethical but also more accurate, as it takes human biology into account. -
Local production reduces ecological impact
Many natural cosmetics brands produce their products locally. This local production is doubly beneficial – it supports the local economy and reduces emissions from transportation. This also applies to our SAVON cosmetics, which are made in Slovakia. -
Conscious consumption and less waste
Natural cosmetic products often come in recyclable or biodegradable packaging, such as glass, paper, or metal. But that's not all! Many brands also promote conscious consumption, which generates less waste. An example is multifunctional products, like our body oils, which reduce the number of cosmetics you need in your bathroom. -
Supporting sustainable farming and fair trade
Do you know where the ingredients in your cosmetics come from? The impact of the cosmetics industry here is significant. By purchasing natural cosmetics, you support farmers and producers who grow ingredients organically and under fair conditions. This approach protects the soil from depletion, preserves biodiversity, and ensures farmers receive fair wages.
What else can you do to reduce your ecological footprint?
• Make your own cosmetics – Simple masks, scrubs, or balms from natural ingredients are a great solution.
• Avoid single-use products – Use washable makeup remover pads and replace disposable razors with metal ones.
• Use solid cosmetics – Solid shampoos, soaps, and deodorants reduce packaging waste, and many also last longer.
• Recycle and upcycle – Properly sort packaging when discarding, or use it for creative DIY projects.
• Read and educate yourself – Keep learning about eco-friendly alternatives and raise awareness. You can inspire those around you to live a more sustainable lifestyle.
Are you ready to get started? This New Year's resolution will be a joy for you. Make 2025 a year of positive change. Your skin and the planet will thank you!
