What is ‘Conscious Beauty Collective Certified’?
In a landmark move toward promoting sustainability, ethical sourcing, and community-driven initiatives in the beauty industry, the Conscious Beauty Collective (CBC), has unveiled its groundbreaking Indie Brand Certification program.
What is the mission?
Designed to empower independent beauty brands committed to making a positive impact, the certification sets rigorous standards for ethical practices and environmental consciousness, and rewards those meeting these standards with a seal.
What are the qualifications?
To qualify for certification, indie brands must meet a series of stringent criteria outlined by the CBC. First, brands must ensure their formulas are EU compliant, meaning they do not contain any of the over 1600 cosmetic ingredients banned by EU guidelines.
What else?
Brands must be vegan, cruelty-free, or fair-trade minded, either through certification or manufacturer attestation. Sustainability is also a key focus, with brands encouraged to adopt minimal packaging, use sustainable materials, and embrace practices such as recycling, refilling, and carbon neutrality.
What is the CBC?
It’s a retail pop-up of indie clean beauty and wellness brands. Founded in 2022, the group provides a platform for small indie brands to join forces, fostering growth and collaboration in the clean beauty and wellness sectors. With a roster of mission-driven brands from around the globe, CBC amplifies its collective impact through pop-up shopping events and more.
