And they should go a long way…without getting holey and leaving a footprint on our planet, that is.

We’re all about supporting beauty brands (or rather, ALL brands) that take meaningful action to improve the impact of their products on people and planet, which requires us to ask (and answer): what is sustainable beauty? When it comes to beauty products, we want to make sure that we’re voting with our wallets for products that are a better choice for the planet and the beings that inhabit it—and that includes ourselves who are actually using the products.

The cat’s out of the bag—sustainable cat food is here to support planet-friendly purring.
