EP156. Formulating for the climate crisis

There are few corners of formulating beauty that are left untouched. We've seen just about every possible formulation category covered on this podcast alone. We've heard about carbon neutral, waterless beauty, and clean, green and blue beauty, along with net zero and zero waste and more. But, until our previous episode, with haircare brand entrepreneur founders of Climaplex, we had not come across a cosmetics business actively formulating to protect us from the myriad effects of climate change. Not only is Climaplex doing right by the planet by formulating to ethical, sustainable principles, their haircare products are designed to tackle multiple effects of the fluctuating, and ever more extreme environmental conditions on our hair and scalp. In this Green Beauty opinion short, Formula Botanica CEO and podcast host Lorraine Dallmeier asks if formulating to protect our skin, body and hair from the ravages of climate change could become the norm – in fact, a new gold standard in cosmetic formulation.
