Okay, so I know my first couple
of posts have just involved me ranting about how terrible the fashion industry
has been perceived in the media over the past year relating to ethical issues.
However, I thought for today’s blog I would speak about some of the ethical fashion
and beauty brands that I have found and also some that I personally love and
trust.
The first product that I
absolutely love is the Magnaminty face mask from Lush. I bought this product
about 8 months ago and have had another since then! It leaves your skin feeling
refreshed and so smooth. I tend to wash my face beforehand, apply a generous
amount all over my face and neck and leave on for around 20 minutes, then
simply wash off with warm water. It’s such a life saver and stops any spots creeping
up on you! It’s important to note that Lush are renowned for their ethical
sourcing and I’ll pop the link for their ethical buying policy below along with
the link for the amazing Magnaminty face mask!
With a lot of companies stating
that they are ethical, it’s hard to believe them with the amount of media that
we see surrounding the unethical fashion houses. Even brands such as Marks and
Spencer and Next have been hit with major unethical news surrounding them, so I
made sure that I found a brand who’s ethical trading is true the whole way
through the supply chain. The fashion brand I found with excellent ethical
views is called ‘People Tree’ I’ve never personally used them myself, but a
friend of mine has.
People Tree are a UK based, selling both Women’s and Men’s
clothing (for all the ethical men out there reading) and their website speaks a
lot about their story, fair trade fashion and their mission to be 100% fair
trade throughout their supply chain. In 2010 Emma Watson even launched a summer
collection with the fashion brand to help promote the fair trade message and
get people thinking more about where their clothing is coming from! Here are
some styles that I found on the website that I loved! Who knew ethical trading
could be so fashionable?

Great post Christie and great tips! We can all help the environment in some which way! Check out my blog for more ethical topics!
ReplyDeleteHey Christie! I done an assignment a couple of months ago on how a international well trusted brand, were in the news for some ethical issues and to be frank I was shocked. It is a household name and I just thought to myself that I have lost all trust in them. Since then I am very weary of what brands and products I buy into and ensure they are ethical sourced well and are 100% fair trade. I think this is vital especially in the world we live in today.

The Lush magnanimity face mark is a personal favourite of mine and I love that as a company the take are actively operating as an ethical company, not just posing to be one like many others as you mentioned. Love your blog!! X
