There’s been a shift, in the way people are consuming, their awareness of the products that they’re using, and their rising concerns on how these products are affecting the planet. More than just a buzzword, sustainability is the need of the hour, it promotes mindfulness on a day to day basis and switching to ethically and naturally-made products and practices that protect our bodies and the environment. While the switch may seem daunting, the key is to take it one step at a time. And to help you make the transition, there are some amazing brands that are doing a great job at creating sustainable everyday grooming products.
