Green Beauty

The definitive, transformative guide to make more conscious beauty choices, empowering yourself with knowledge and contributing to a more sustainable future

It’s no secret that the consumption of cosmetics is unsustainable. We’re becoming increasingly aware of the reality that each year, over 100 billion containers are discarded, and without proper waste management, more than eight tons of plastic end up in the ocean, breaking down into the infamous microplastics.

Addressing this critical issue, Cristina Carvajal, a chemical engineer and dermocosmetics expert, offers an insightful guide into the complexities of the most commonly used facial and hair care products.

Through a blend of scientific rigor and practical advice, Green Beauty guides you to:
 • Unravel the truth behind advertising claims and marketing jargon to truly understand cosmetic ingredients.
 • Enhance the health and appearance of your skin by selecting genuinely eco-friendly products.
 • Curb overconsumption by choosing only what your skin needs, thereby reducing waste.
 • Achieve a balance between beauty and sustainability by adopting a personal care routine that safeguards both your health and the environment.

The goal of Green Beauty is to demystify the science behind cosmetics, helping you develop your own criteria and make informed decisions that maximize the benefits for your skin amidst the overwhelming selection in the beauty aisle.
