"There is one constant in the beauty industry: change" The line between luxury & mass shoppers is slowly blurring. Consumers are no longer loyal to just one category, they’re shopping from both ends of the spectrum. Why? Beauty dupes are on the rise! These offer nearly the same quality as luxury products but at a fraction of the price. In today’s climate of rising costs, consumers are seeking ways to save. Private labels and dupe brands are quickly becoming go-to choices, proving that luxury is more about the experience than the price tag. How are you adapting to these shifting trends?

At Garcoa, we are excited to announce a major step forward in our sustainability journey. ♻️ Starting this year, we will source all our paper components exclusively from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) or Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) certified sources. This decision underscores our commitment to environmental sustainability and responsible forest management. ♻️ Sourcing paper from FSC or SFI certified vendors ensures that the paper we use comes from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social, and economic benefits. ♻️By choosing FSC and SFI certified paper, we are helping to combat deforestation and promote sustainable forestry practices. This not only helps to maintain the health of forest ecosystems but also plays a crucial role in mitigating climate change by preserving the forests' ability to act as carbon sinks. ♻️ Additionally, our commitment to certified paper supports the market for sustainably produced paper products, encouraging more suppliers to adopt responsible forestry practices. ♻️ This decision is part of our broader sustainability strategy, aimed at reducing our environmental impact and supporting global efforts to promote ecological balance. We are proud to take this step and believe it aligns with our values and the expectations of our customers.
