Hey #YugenCommunity!
Please allow me to introduce myself as one of your Community Managers, Caron. I will be creating a new post every Friday and I am so excited to interact with everyone ð
Today I thought it would be interesting to hear your thoughts on Eco-friendly personal care, that is, all the things we do to groom ourselves. Personal care products can range from toothbrushes to leave-in conditioner to body lotion to beard oil!
Personal care is something that is important to a lot of us and makes us feel pampered and prepared to face the day ahead. At the moment, we are witnessing a trend towards products that are made from organic materials, contain Eco-friendly ingredients, and are not tested on animals. Companies have also been dedicated to ensuring that their packaging is biodegradable or made from recycled material.
This is super important to the Caribbean region in order to minimize land pollution and safeguard our wildlife and natural resources such as our reefs and waterways. I also love that a lot of these products are being made by local companies and artisans which means that we can support our local economy and minimize our carbon footprint associated with importation.
Personally, I would love to see more natural hair products with Eco-friendly packaging.
I would love to hear your thoughts on the following:
What are your favourite Eco-friendly personal care brands?
What is one product that you would love to see designed and manufactured sustainably?
What do you think can be done to get more persons to switch to Eco-friendly personal care?
What are some Eco-friendly personal care products that you love so far?

Hey! So I haven't tried any of the eco-friendly brands as yet but one brand I love that i see on Instagram is Nuba Caribbean which is a local skincare line. Just like you, I would love to see more eco-friendly packaging of hair care products especially shampoos.
I think to get more people to start using eco-frinedly brands, more information needs to be put into the public domain to educate persons on the short term and long term benefits of using such products on the environment.
