Leading Brand’s Sustainable Solutions in June
LA MER
LA MER, a beauty brand dedicated to ocean conservation, has long called for ocean protection on World Oceans Day (June 8th) and has worked hard to reduce ocean waste through local and global charity activities over the past 20 years. This year, LA MER centered on this and teamed up with Taiwanese partners who care about environmental conservation to cultivate the next generation’s awareness of ocean conservation through education.
BIOTHERM
BIOTHERM committed to ocean conservation for over ten years, launched the “Sail Towards Sustainability, Lead the Wave” conservation action with internationally renowned sailor Paul Meilhat on World Oceans Day. In this three-month world sailing race, Biotherm installed a high-speed microscope developed in cooperation with TARA OCEAN FOUNDATION to continuously collect data on “ocean plankton” during the sailing process, contributing to ocean health research and aiming to fully understand changes in the ocean environment, to continue to promote the sustainable protection of the ocean. For this, Biotherm launched a new ocean-friendly UV isolation hydrogel lotion on June 1st. The product’s ingredients and packaging are decomposable and 100% recyclable, providing a new way of sun protection that cares for both oneself and the Earth.
L’OCCITANE
L’OCCITANE’s new Herbal Essence Anti-dandruff Shampoo, launched on June 1st, demonstrates its commitment to sustainability in its ingredients and packaging. 98% of the product’s ingredients come from pure natural ingredients and are 100% biodegradable; meanwhile, the packaging uses 100% recyclable plastic, which is expected to reduce 570 kilograms yearly. This effort highlights that beauty brands like L’OCCITANE can protect environmental issues while maintaining product effectiveness.
The above examples show how sustainable beauty brands can provide high-quality beauty products through innovative product design and environmental consciousness and make significant contributions to our Earth. This trend indicates that consumers can care about our planet while pursuing beauty. Today, choosing sustainability does not mean sacrificing beauty.
