Best Sustainable Brands of 2023

 Hey Fashionistas!

Recently, I have been trying to make better fashion/beauty choices for the environment so I thought I would share some of my favorites with you. None of this is sponsored (although, if you're one of the brands I mentioned- hi and please feel free to reach out).

Garnier:

I wanted to start out with Garnier because they are not only an environmentally friendly brand but they are also my favorite beauty brand of all time. Garnier is a holy grail for me. I discovered this brand when they were featured on Project Runway many years ago and they completely changed my confidence. I use so many of their products on my hair: Mouse, Curl Cream, Hair Spray, Hair Gel, Shampoo, Conditioner, Conditioning Masks, etc. 

Recently, I have switched from the traditional shampoo bottle to the shampoo bar and I am so glad that I did. I still get that Garnier glow to my hair while using less unnecessary plastics. Other Garner Fructis shampoo and conditioner bottles are made partly from recycled plastics and I always recycle the bottles when they are finished- so I don't feel as bad about my conditioner either. Finally, the brand is Cruelty Free by the Leaping Bunny Program AND almost completely vegan.

I promise I am not sponsored by this brand, I just really love their products and their commitment to preserving the planet.

Native: 

Again, not sponsored by Native but just a brand I really love. Natural deodorants can be tough. It's a nice idea but honestly, so many of them just don't work. Besides my desire to choose more environmentally friendly products, I am allergic to nickel so I am always on the hunt for metal free products. As such, I have tried many natural deodorants over the years and I finally found one that is a game changer.

The Native deodorant pictured here was my initial purchase from the store- so it unfortunately is not plastic free. But I did discover the brand carries a plastic-free version of the product online which is so much better for the environment. In my opinion, taking the step to purchase from the Native website is a small extra step for a big environmental impact- so it's totally worth it and I intend to take this step next time I purchase.

The product pictured above is unscented, but for those who enjoy scented products, Native had a large variety of options- including festive ones for the holidays! Native also has come out with other products from body wash to skin care. I have not tried any of those yet but maybe in the future.

Shapeau:

I mentioned this brand in my last post but wanted to shout them out again. Sustainable fashion can mean reusing fabrics from the past, which is just what Shapeau does. 

I got my beautiful sweatshirt from Jagged Edge Boutique in Haddon Township NJ and you can too! Each piece is one of a kind. I wear this sweatshirt all the time and it's very comfortable- certainly a new staple in my wardrobe.

That's all for now Fashionistas. This is a topic I am really passionate about, so I am sure there will be more posts like this in the future. Is there a sustainable brand that you love? Comment down below and I will give it a try.
