Sustainability and Ethics a High Priority for Beauty Packaging

Posted by Carla Colwell
02nd December, 2019

A recent survey conducted by Sagentia and Leatherhead Food Research suggests that the beauty industry needs to tackle sustainability and ethics in manufacture and packaging processes to please the average British consumer. 79% of the 2,029 surveyed demonstrated that they don’t believe personal care and beauty brands are doing enough and should apply more effort.

This includes the sourcing of natural ingredients too, which has been a rising consideration for consumers when making beauty purchasing decisions. The sourcing of packaging materials should be more transparent, according to the younger (18-24) age bracket, of whom more than a third expressed concern (33%).

 

Starting with beauty packaging

Some industry experts say that packaging is an obvious place to start, given that it will be the first opportunity for the consumer to notice a difference and the first chance the manufacturer has to demonstrate a commitment to rising environmental issues. 

Sustainable and ethical packaging materials are what the consumer wants to see, and according to recent reports, they won’t mind paying a bit extra for them. In terms of the ‘sustainability credentials’ of beauty brands – the survey finds that consumers are expecting them to improve.
