美容界備受批評的其中一個原因,是很多時護膚/化妝用到的小品,其實也是不環保的產品,好似棉花棒、化妝棉、卸妝紙等。由於每日亦需要用到,所以消耗量相當大,對環境造成傷害。有見及此,不少美容品牌已經推出可循環再用的美容小物,連英國政府也宣布,從2020年開始全面禁止銷售和使用塑膠飲管、塑膠攪拌棒及膠柄棉花棒(醫療用途除外)。

UK inflation increased from 2.5% in July to 2.7% in August figures released today show. This was more than was expected by economists and the surprise rise is due to higher prices for air and sea fares, theatre tickets and autumn clothing. (Photo by Jack Taylor/Getty Images)

所以英國百貨公司Selfridges宣佈在Beauty Halls中,不再售賣任何一次性使用的美容產品,同時不再提供濕紙巾/棉花棒為試妝使用,會以其他可重覆使用的產品代替。在這個方針下,最首當其衝的是即棄卸妝濕紙巾。因為Selfridges同時發表研究指出即棄卸妝濕紙巾分解時間有機會長達100年,加上已有不少品牌停售卸妝紙巾,很大機會成為即將被淘汰的美容產品。

雖然有一些產品會被淘汰,但同時代表環保美容的發展愈來愈受到重視,可見Green Beauty一定會是未來美容的大趨勢,也是美容界的好消息。
