In a world brimming with beauty products and services, have you ever wondered what happens to them once they've served their purpose? As we immerse ourselves in skincare, haircare and makeup, it's easy to forget that beautifying often comes at a cost to our planet. The beauty industry, with its myriad companies, products, and services, has inadvertently – or perhaps also blatantly – contributed to the mounting waste crisis that plagues our planet.

In this opinion episode of Green Beauty Conversations, host and Formula Botanica CEO Lorraine Dallmeier – also a Chartered Environmentalist and biologist – presents a new and pressing concept for all of us in the beauty industry to think about and make centre stage: "end-of-life beauty planning." Listen in to learn why we should buy, manufacture, and formulate cosmetics with their end in mind.
