Beauty Cleanse Skincare

MINIMALIST
If we ask 100 people how to save the planet, we will get a lot of the same answers: buy plastic-free, stop flying, or become vegan. Whilst all of these are absolutely true, what we often forget is that buying ‘less’ should be number one on the list before anything else. Simple as that! Buy only what absolutely serves your skin and is designed keeping sustainability at its core.

Beauty Cleanse Skincare is based on the ethos of minimalism and slow consumption. To support our mission, we are bringing a new sustainability initiative (#RefuseRevolution) for eco-conscious beauty consumers looking to make positive difference to their skin and the planet.

”Empowering you to make informed purchase decisions and REFUSE complicated & wasteful beauty routines” …

BEAUTY CLEANSE MINIMALISM CHATS

2020 is the year the World changed forever, with the global pandemic bringing into focus the much-needed changes that are needed for our communities, and planet, to both recover and thrive. If we have learnt just one thing about fast consumption from this recent pandemic, then that is simplicity. It is certainly possible to live with less.

The Beauty Cleanse Minimalism Chats are the regular informal conversations, run by the Beauty Cleanse Skincare founder Saman Ali, dedicated to promoting minimalism and sustainability in beauty and personal care. Considering the immense environmental impact of the consumerism on the planet, these chats are designed to tackle a sustainable topic at a time, with the aim to provide eco-conscious beauty consumers with a transparent and open picture of some of the most common trends, buzzwords, and reasons responsible for encouraging fast consumption, and help them understand the detrimental impact of our choices on the planet.

The beauty cleanse minimalism chats will not even advocate ‘clean beauty products’, but advocate ‘less beauty products’. We think, the criteria to determine what to buy should not include reliance on Synthetic vs. Natural, OR Clean beauty vs. Science-backed Beauty. In fact, it should only be about consuming fewer high-quality products that are good for skin and good for planet.

These chats are largely addressed towards consumers to arm them with the vital information required to make informed purchase decisions. It will also give them an opportunity to get involved and most importantly, empower them to make positive changes with the help of their buying behaviour. 

This first season of Beauty Cleanse Minimalism Chats consist of 45minutes long, 6 episodes. At the end of this season, you will be equipped with an ability to make simple, smart choices that are better for the planet, and for your skin too.

Daisy Harvey is the founder of a sustainable slow fashion and slow beauty platform – Löfte.

Daisy worked in fashion almost her whole career. When she started becoming more and more aware of the negative impact that the fashion industry have on our planet, she started searching for sustainable clothing but couldn’t find the style she wanted. This gave her the idea to create an online destination for luxury, sustainable fashion.

Lofte is a carefully curated collection of luxury brands, influenced by Scandinavian style.

Using ethically sourced materials, their selection comprises some of the most exciting brands in sustainable fashion. 20% of their profits goes to eco-conscious charities. They source beautiful brands that have sustainability as their main focus, and are completely transparent about their entire operations.

It is a Swedish word meaning a vow or promise, and löfte’s promise to you is that every product will not only be carefully selected for its style and quality but that it will also be sustainable.
