These Enterprise Ireland-supported companies are taking green beauty from the Emerald Isle to your home.
While Plastic Free July has come to an end, so there is still no better time to make the swap to a sustainable beauty brand. Plastic Free July is a global initiative to reduce the use of single-use plastic by encouraging people to make the switch to environmentally conscious products.
While Ireland is often known as the land of saints and scholars, it is also home to some of the most innovative, environmentally conscious beauty companies. Over the years, Enterprise Ireland, Ireland’s trade and innovation agency, has helped these eco-friendly brands go from household names in Ireland to favorites in the US and Canada. These products will take your entire beauty routine – from teeth whitening to bronzer and body lotion – to a greener place without sacrificing quality.
