Clean Beauty: Clean And Safe For You
Choose brands that responsibly create products with your well-being and the environment in mind. At SM Store, you can find clean and safe beauty staples that deliver real results. Behind these are brands that put great care into making products that advocate for a green lifestyle.
One such brand is Luxe Organix which uses plant-based ingredients to make better and safer options for you.

Another brand that’s taking steps to embrace a more sustainable way of shopping is Head and Shoulders.

By reducing their manufacturing impact and carbon footprint, they commit to achieving 100% recyclable or reusable packaging by 2030.
Better Ingredients: With Ethically Sourced Ingredients
Discover a collection of beauty products that use environment-friendly formulations and are made with sustainable production practices. Aside from making sure that ingredients are safe for consumption, they are also acquired ethically and sustainably while ensuring a fair and safe working environment for all the people involved in the production process.
A prime example of this practice is Aveeno. This brand works with farmers from different countries to source and process natural ingredients in a way that preserves their purity and maintains beneficial properties for the skin. All this is done in an environmentally conscientious manner

Clean & Clear is also one well-known brand that sets a high standard for using ingredients. Its commitment to developing sustainable products helps support the health of its customers and reduces environmental impact.
For UV care, choose a brand that also cares for the environment. Anessa’s range of sunscreen products is proven to be safe for you and the ocean. It does not contain harmful ingredients like parabens, artificial fragrances, colorants, and coral bleaching chemicals like Octinoxate and Oxybenzone.
Even popular brands like Cream Silk are now looking to nature to find hair solutions for their customers. They recently introduced Cream Silk Rich Organic Powerfusion Ultra Conditioner, their first-ever conditioner inspired by the goodness of Mother Earth. It’s infused with organic balms and luxurious natural oils to help hair become softer, smoother, and healthier.
Better Packaging: Sustainable And Safe For The Planet
Help minimize waste and keep the oceans plastic-free by choosing products with sustainable packaging. These products practice the three R’s of sustainability: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle to help lessen environmental impact and ecological footprint.
Take Herbal Essences, for example. This brand recently introduced shampoo and conditioner collections in packaging made from resins with 50% certified recycled plastic and is working to have 90% of their major packaging platforms be recyclable or reusable by 2025. Aside from this, they also encourage bathroom recycling by providing instructions on how to responsibly dispose of their empty bottles.
