As a strong advocate for using palm-alternatives when possible and only working with suppliers of palm-derivatives that are members of Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), it's great to see things are getting better. While it may seem better to just switch to coconut or other palm-alternatives, the reality is that Palm is the most productive oil crop per hectare, and requires very little water compared to many alternatives. Now, can we apply this momentum to other industries that are far more destructive than palm?! The main one is beef. It’s a far more devastating to the world’s forests than any other commodity. Indeed, between 2001 and 2015, cattle caused roughly four times as much deforestation as palm oil, globally. https://lnkd.in/g5jGrMTY

While (we hope!) no brand or manufacturer would ever knowingly use pure formaldehyde, a known carcinogen, skin sensitizer & allergen, in a cosmetic product, Clean Beauty Enthusiasts, the European Commission, Health Canada and major regulatory bodies around the world have all been pushing to limit the use of formeldehyde donors or chemicals which use formaldehyde as a catalyst or contain or contain residual traces. Blue Beautylab is now offering 100% bio-based 🌱 and formaldehyde-free glycolic acid products. Our product range includes: - 7% Gentle Hydrating 🌱 Glycolic Acid Toner - Biomimetic Vegan Snail Mucin Essence with 🌱 Glycolic Acid - Biomimetic Vegan Snail Mucin Serum with 🌱 Glycolic Acid, Collagen & Elastin Peptides - Retexturizing Daily Use 🌱 Glycolic Milk with Orange Stem Cell Culture Extract Our range of Glycolic Acid products are pH adjusted using L-Arginine, a hydrating, soothing & repairing Amino Acid which renders the Glycolic formulations more gentle. Please contact me for samples or more details! https://lnkd.in/gxjk_FwU.

I found this data very surprising! While we are constantly being asked for Vegan and cruelty-free certifications, it boggles my mind to see Snail Mucin products at the top of the list! Do consumers not consider insects to be "animals"? If it was "horse mucin" would consumers be more revolted? At any rate, if anyone is looking to capitalize on the popularity of Snail Mucin, but wants a vegan version, please reach out! Blue Beautylab has some solutions for you! https://lnkd.in/gknM9F7r)
