NATURAL INGREDIENTS: PEXELS
Over the years, the beauty industry has seen a significant evolvement in the way skincare products are being produced, whether you prefer sustainable products or naturally produced ones there’s something for everybody.
In 2024, if you are still buying beauty brands that do not support the change that most companies are trying to make by 1- not producing products that are tested on animals, 2- products that use packaging that can be wasteful then you need to get your act together and change your ways.
According to skincare beauty brand, Formula Botanica, natural African skincare ingredients are experiencing a surge in popularity within the beauty industry. Key components like baobab oil, moringa oil, marula oil, argan oil, shea butter, and rhassoul clay are increasingly featured in a variety of products, ranging from artisanal boutiques to well-known commercial brands.
