[Sulwhasoo publishes first sustainability report] South Korean cosmetics giant AMOREPACIFIC said Tuesday that its premium skincare brand Sulwhasoo has released its 2023 Sustainability Report, detailing the brand's sustainability initiatives and achievements. Sulwhasoo published the first standalone sustainability report by a brand under Amorepacific. The report comprises three chapters: ginseng, the environment and culture. The first chapter explores Sulwhasoo's journey with ginseng, transitioning from its use in food to beauty products. According to the report, Amorepacific has been conducting ginseng studies since the 1960s, introducing the ABC Ginseng Cream in 1966 which became a predecessor to Sulwhasoo. For sustainable ginseng procurement, Sulwhasoo directly sources raw materials from farms through exclusive contracts, the report said.

Supply chains in the cosmetics industry are long and complex. So says Julien GARRY, International Director of Purchasing and Packaging Innovation Development at CHANEL Parfums Beauté. “We hypothetically estimate a ratio of 1 to 100 between the number of tier 1 and last tier suppliers,” Garry tells Sustainability Magazine. “This is due, in particular, to the diversity of materials and technologies required to manufacture cosmetic products and their packaging.” Which is why Chanel Parfums Beauté has initiated a collective approach to the challenge – joining forces with five other industry leaders to form a consortium. As a founding member of 'TRaceability Alliance for Sustainable Cosmetics' (TRASCE), the French beauty brand will work alongside 14 other alliance members including cosmetic giants L'Oréal, Shiseido, and The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. to enhance traceability in key ingredient and packaging supply chains across the industry. “Our priority is to map our supply chains to get a clear picture of the suppliers involved,” Garry explains. “The greater the number of suppliers and the more data collected, the more the consortium members will understand and be better able to assess risks in their supply chains.” #supplychains #chanel #cosmeticsindustry #traceability #sustainability

Upcycled beauty is gaining momentum, and Coty has been leading the way since 2021. That’s when we announced we were producing our fragrances with upcycled carbon, created alongside LanzaTech. By transforming industrial emissions into high-quality alcohol, we prevent carbon from entering the atmosphere, promote biodiversity, and reduce water consumption. This year, Gucci Eau de Parfum, Where My Heart Beats, joined The Alchemist’s Garden collection as the first globally distributed fragrance produced with ethanol from 100% upcycled carbon emissions. It is an excellent example of how Coty is delivering on our Beauty That Lasts sustainability commitments through continuous innovation. Cosmetics Business recently highlighted another original solution: repurposing discarded plant materials into cosmetics.   At Coty, sustainability drives innovation and science propels our progress.

I love beauty products, but it’s no secret that it's contributing to a BIG problem… ⬇ Did you know that over 120 billion units of packaging are produced every year by the global cosmetics industry, the majority of which are not recyclable?? (Source: Zero Waste Week) But it doesn’t need to be that way: 73% of consumers worldwide say they would definitely or probably change their consumption habits to reduce their impact on the environment.
