“With sustainability, you have to think holistically. It’s about addressing biodegradability, secondary packaging, carbon footprint, the emissions, and all the ingredients that are going into it,” says sustainability expert and product developer Angela Ubias, co-founder of Common Heir. “On the clean ingredient side, we have already seen this shift in the mainstream of being more open to it, and that consumer shift leading to more innovative materials. And so now packaging needs to catch up because it is so far behind.” In this episode of Clean Beauty School, mindbodygreen beauty director and host Alexandra Engler chats with Ubias about innovative ways to package beauty products, tackling the plastic problem, and the importance of inclusivity in clinical trials.
