Excessive use of chemicals make environment filthy

The beauty industry has a significant negative impact on the environment due to several factors like: Plastic waste Beauty packaging generates about 120 billion units of trash per year much of which ends up in landfills and oceans. Only a small percentage is recycled, and micro plastics from both packaging and product ingredients harm marine life and eco systems. Resource consumption the industry uses huge amounts of water (over 10 million tons annually) and natural resources like palm oil, leading to deforestation and loss of wildlife habitats. The cultivation of ingredients such as palm oil is a major driver of deforestation, especially in Southeast Asia. Chemical pollution: Many cosmetics contain harmful chemicals that, when washed off, contaminate water systems and soil, threatening aquatic life and human health. Greenhouse gas emissions: The production, packaging, and transportation of beauty products contribute to CO2 emissions, fuelling climate change. Landfills from beauty waste also emit greenhouse gases like methane. Impact on wildlife:

Plastic and chemical waste from cosmetics disrupts ecosystems, harms marine animals, and threatens endangered species. The industry's environmental footprint spans the entire product lifecycle from resource extraction and manufacturing to consumer use and disposal making it a major contributor to pollution, resource depletion, and climate change.
