Do we even know what sustainable / ethical / zero waste / green products actually are or really mean? Is a vegan product in a box preferable to a cruelty-free one that doesn’t come in any packaging at all? 

The Urbane Ecologist is on a mission to do 3 things: 

  1. Objectively evaluate cosmetic products marketing themselves as some kind of sustainable / ethical / zero waste / green on the basis of product materials, product waste potential, product container, product packaging, and product supply chain.
  2. Elevate the incredible work so many people are doing in bringing about a better world, starting with what they put on their skin every day!
  3. Make cosmetic products that are better for our planet more easily accessible.
