Back in March, we shared a list of five of our favourite sustainable beauty and self care accessories, which contained everything from reusable make-up removing pads to bamboo cotton buds. Today, we’re going one step further and bringing you a list of five beauty products which contain ingredients which are sourced from sustainable origins so that you can have peace of mind in knowing that your beauty routine is renewable and kind to the planet:

This omega-rich supplement from Advanced Nutrition Programme is certified by Friends of the Sea and uses omega-3 oils only sourced using sustainable methods that conserve both marine habitats and resources. It also contains GLA from evening primrose oil and vitamin A for notable benefits to hydration, skin smoothness and wrinkle depth.
Elemis Superfood Vital Veggie Mask
This face mask from Elemis is part of its Superfood range, containing extracts from nutrient dense supergreens and radiance boosting fruit acids for an incredibly soft and smooth complexion.
