Conscious Collection: June 2023
The latest and greatest in sustainability news.
We’re back! Another month, another roundup of what’s happening in the sustainable beauty space. Spoiler alert: its a lot. We’re seeing rebrands, refills and rejuvenation front and centre this month. So, buckle up and get ready for the download.
I’m not going to lie, making sustainable choices can be confusing, overwhelming and downright difficult. That’s why I’m here to help break it down and make it easier for you. If you have any questions or you’d like me to address anything specific then please feel free to reach out, shoot me an email at lottie@grittypretty.com.au.
NEW
Straight out of Melbourne is a new beauty brand. ReMI has launched an innovative 4-in-1 solid skincare product. The brand’s moisturiser stones use the power of natives like kakadu plum 0il, Australian white cypress oil and Australian sandalwood oil to rejuvenate the skin. You use the stones similarly to how you would use a gua sha tool, rubbing lightly on the skin while releasing the goodness inside. On average 70-90 per cent of beauty products are made up of water but ReMI stones are concentrated, meaning that you aren’t paying all of that money for water!

NOTEWORTHY
Kerasilk has relaunched in Australia with a bang! The relaunch includes new packaging (most of which is kerbside recyclable), new 100 per cent vegan formulas and a serious commitment to sustainability. The brand’s commitment is a great example of a brand providing transparency at what stage its at in its sustainability journey and where its headed! Back in the day, Kerasilk was one of the pioneers of using silk in haircare, a non-vegan product, but it now exclusively use Biomimetic Silk which delivers great results every time.

TREND ALERT: FACE OILS
As temps drop you’re probably on the hunt for products that can provide deep hydration and also a way to protect your natural moisture barrier from the cold winter chill. Face oils are a great way to do just that. Look for an oil that not only hydrates but has other benefits such as being anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antioxidant properties.

SUSTAINABLE SWAP
It’s World Refill Day on June 16th, so I thought it was a good time to pay homage to some of our favourite refillable brands. Aside from the environmental benefits, refillable products are cheaper meaning that you can help save some money too. Refill pouches and pods contain less packaging than their full-size counterparts. Emma Lewisham estimates that switching to one of its refill pods reduces carbon emissions by 74 per cent. So, why not opt for a refill next time you need a top-up of some of your favourite products?
