benecos: SFW Catwalk Headline Sponsor

benecos: the brand where sustainability is the only ethical option!

At benecos, sustainability is a paramount concern when creating their products; from obtaining natural ingredients, to developing non-toxic formulas and delivering innovative packaging, benecos is always searching for the eco-conscious alternative. At the forefront of their core values is ensuring that sustainable cosmetics are accessible for everyone, hence why they keep their products at a fair price point. With prices starting as low as £2.95, you can get plant-based, natural, organic and cruelty-free products that literally don’t cost the earth!

benecos’ sustainable practices can be easily verified through many of their certifications, including those from BDIH COSMOS ORGANIC, BDIH COSMOS NATURAL, Vegan Society and PETA Cruelty Free. The criteria of these organisations ensure that benecos’ products are genuinely organic and natural, do not contain hash chemicals, parabens, SLS, synthetic colours or fragrances and are produced at the highest feasible sustainability practices.

benecos believes that their ethics go hand in hand with environmental sustainability, they are open about their practices and actively take steps to ensure that the earth and its inhabitants are not affected by the production of their cosmetics. benecos actively pushes against greenwashing, too, this is where brands use marketing tactics to mislead consumers into thinking they are purchasing from environmentally friendly brands. Through their transparency, you can see where their efforts lie! benecos’ organically farmed ingredients have been proven to be friendlier to our planet, they avoid pesticides and wider variety of plants enhances biodiversity which in turn increases soil quality while reducing pollution from synthetic fertilisers and pesticides.

Using only ingredients that are certified natural and organic, you know that their products, from vegan mascaras to refillable eyeshadow palettes, are free from harmful ingredients and packed full of kindness! To minimise the exposure of toxic chemicals to their farm workers, consumers, and the environment, benecos only uses natural approaches to farming.

A key factor in their sustainable approach is their product design, benecos recently released their Jumbo Lipsticks, a range of certified COSMOS ORGANIC, cruelty free and plastic free lipsticks available in five flattering colours. They also have refillable makeup palettes that encourage shoppers to only repurchase their most beloved shades, instead of unnecessarily repurchasing an entirely new palette. Rumour has it, they will be releasing a plastic free version of these palettes soon! Their aim is to reduce the needless waste from cosmetics that end up in landfills across the world, hence why their products are either plastic free or are packaged in easily recyclable containers, like their benecos BIO range which is made from recycled PET.

So, get colourful, the natural way with benecos! The Sustainable Fashion Week Catwalk is sponsored by benecos, so keep an eye out for their natural and organic products on the catwalk and around Bristol this September and see how their carefully selected ingredients, high-quality product formulations and commitment to ethical testing and sustainable certifications are all what set benecos apart from conventional cosmetics.
