Trying a new brand
Trying out a new skincare brand can quickly become expensive. This is even more relevant in the context of purchasing an eco-friendly beauty brand, because the ingredients chosen with attention to detail are often natural or non-toxic and local production is frequent.
Choosing to be as environmentally friendly as possible often represents a cost for enterprises, which directly affects the selling price that the ethical consumers are paying. However, this amount can quickly become exhaustive as we try to discover new products and find those that suit us.
The essentials kit by Étymologie
One brand that understands this is Etymology, which is both local (formulated in Montreal and made in Alberta) and sustainable (natural ingredients from Ecocert certified organic farms, concerns for the ecological footprint, sustainable packaging, “green chemistry”, PETA certification and more).
Founder Raquela Cheesmond explains :
“The complex balance of chemical compounds found in a single plant oil or extract simply cannot be replicated in the lab! Even with new scientific developments, the power of nature is truly humbling.”
– Raquela Cheesmond, founder of Étymologie
