Whenever I try kicking off a conversation about switching to greener or cleaner alternatives (outside of work) in the realm of beauty I tend to induce polarizing reactions amongst people. People who are genuinely inclined towards undertaking the green beauty endeavor and then the lot who firmly believe in the principle of it all -in theory, but claim it is not practically feasible. Now, I accept that an out-and-out transition to clean beauty products is a far fetched idea, especially in 2022. But that in no way, shape or form should deter us from chasing this ultimate goal with passion and dedication. I say this after trading a few staples from my makeup cabinet for conscious alternatives. These offerings bode well for the environment and also legitimately address skin and hair concerns I combat on the reg. And hence, in order to put some qualms to rest right off the bat, I would like to preemptively address some questions. These are queries, I am usually quizzed with when I talk about my conscious beauty journey. Yes, no matter how small, persistent efforts make a lot of difference. The only way to ensure sustainability in the beauty industry which otherwise will cease to exist. Which brings me to my second point —contrary to popular opinion that green, earth-loving products burn a hole in your pocket, you can avail them across price points. So, here’s me bringing you the best of earth-loving and guilt-free products under 500 bucks if you wish to get started on your green beauty journey
