Protecting the world, nature and our natural resources is possible with an individual consciousness and effort, yes, but brands also have valuable responsibilities in this sense. Did you know that the cosmetics industry ranks second in water consumption? According to the data of the United Nations, agriculture ranks at the top in this sense, followed by the cosmetics branch quickly. This inevitably makes us think of the idea of “waterless beauty” and a more responsible approach. When we look at the ingredient list of our shampoos, conditioners and make-up removers, the first (that is, the most used) water is often expressed with the words “aqua” or “eau”. Naturally, the question “Is it possible to create works without water” comes to mind, and the answer is yes; It is possible to create cosmetic works without water or using a very finite amount of water. Oils that can be used instead of water or oil-soluble actives are valuable players in preventing unnecessary damage to the environment. Considering the water consumption measure for which the cosmetics sector is responsible, it is not surprising that the “water footprint” has come to the fore and we are questioning our impact on the planet as individuals.
GLOBAL RESPONSIBILITY
The “waterless beauty” trend, which started a few years ago in South Korea, has recently managed to enter the mainstream Western world of finesse. As a matter of fact, this trend does not start with an environmental concern, but rather focusing on the active ingredients in the content of the works. nowadays, it is being dealt with from both sides. Two birds with one stone! The formula of many pleasantries contains 60-80 percent water. For this reason, saying goodbye to water actually obliges the works to contain more concentrated and useful contents in their formulas. Who wouldn’t want to both protect natural resources and use a more effective work? The fact that water is not used in the works also means that the pleasant works we love will become much more compact and easier to carry.
In addition to its individual benefits, “water footprint” is directly related to the well-known concept of “sustainability”, which we use frequently in the fashion world and which concerns all of us. Leading cosmetics and care companies have already started to take valuable steps with this responsibility. L’Oreal Paris promises to reduce water consumption by 60 percent per unit of finished work by the end of the year, while Unilever plans to halve the environmental impact (including water use) of its creations by 2030.
From stick artifacts to balms, from solid ingredients to powdery textures, the rise of waterless goodness is not far off. This perspective, which will enable you to transform your skin care, hair care, body care and even your make-up, is a huge step in environmental sacrifice.
WHAT ARE THE WORKS OF WATERPROOF PLEASURE?
You’ve been very excited by what you’ve read so far, haven’t you? Because we all have concerns for a more pleasant and sustainable world. Even if brands can’t switch to a completely waterless system now, it is a situation that should be applauded in the name of sustainability, that they act responsive in the use of water. What we can do personally is to use our preferences in favor of dehydrated works. Oils and oil-based products are an alternative that will make our work much easier in this sense. Once again, pleasantness works in powder or solid form are also a reason for preference. Although solid shampoos need water to be activated, we can say that their content is much more responsible than liquid shampoos. Australian-based beauty and care brand Concerving Beauty is the premier pleasantness member of The Water Foodprint Network, which conducts research to sustainably manage its water footprint and solve the world’s water crisis. Producing all its works completely without water, the brand follows a pioneering approach in this sense.
