Champions for Sea Change
By supporting Ocean Conservancy, GLOBAL NOURISH™ SKINCARE supports Blue Beauty & Blue Space.
“I could swim before I could even walk, found my first job as a lifeguard and spent endless summers happily surfing under the warm California sun. The salty air and oceanscape always made me feel instantly calm and serene. Being by the sea positively affects your neurology and physiology.”
“After 20+ years in the beauty industry, my passion for skincare led me to create the GLOBAL NOURISH™ SKINCARE brand. It also made me consider ways my brand could contribute to making the industry I love less wasteful. That’s why we donate a portion of our proceeds and engage in thoughtful partnerships. Seeing GLOBAL NOURISH™ SKINCARE make a positive impact on our oceans means the world to me.”
Why Blue
Beauty Matters
Thanks to caring, curious consumers, we’ve come a long way toward sustainability in the beauty space in a relatively short amount of time. And yet, there’s so much left to be done.
One dumptruck full of plastic waste enters our ocean every minute. That’s the equivalent of 8 million tons of plastic each year, which is having a major impact on marine life.*
Blue Beauty brands are making their products safe for the environment. That includes being ocean safe, sourcing sustainably and minimizing carbon footprint, all while having a positive environmental impact.
More than 120 billion units of cosmetics packaging are produced globally every year, a lot of which is not recyclable*. So Blue Beauty brands are all about limiting plastic waste and making it easier to recycle, in addition to protecting our oceans from chemicals found in beauty products.
To help out, throw your support behind brands that use refillable or reusable packaging, brand and retailer initiatives that encourage returning packaging for recycling and packaging containing recycled materials to reduce overall carbon impact.
