What’s better than a beauty product that makes you look good? One that gives back, too.
To celebrate Earth Day, we’ve rounded up five of the best beauty products that support environmental causes around the globe.
The products on this list aren’t just non-toxic, and natural; they also work insanely well, and portions of proceeds go toward charitable organisations that do everything from planting trees to improving access to safe water, hygiene and sanitation.
Shop them all below.
Caudalie
Caudalie’s natural, innovative toning mist works to set makeup, provides an instant burst of hydration and tightens the appearance of pores. And because the brand is part of the “1% for the Planet” movement and donates 1% of its global sales to NPOs that work to protect the environment, you’ll feel amazing using it.

100% PURE
During the entire month of April, 100% PURE are planting a tree for every product sold. Yep, they’ve teamed up with Trees for the Future, a non-profit organisation that helps plant trees in Sub-Saharan Africa. While we love their entire range, the Fruit Pigmented Ultra-Lengthening Mascara is a standout product—it lengthens, separates and conditions.
