We all have different consumption habits, dictated by society, our culture and our upbringing... The world we lived in a few years ago is no longer the one it is today and our planet has known many changes mostly... negative. We must therefore act and adapt our lifestyle and mode of consumption to the current world.
It is more than important today to be aware of these changes often due to human activity and to act differently to limit the damage already well underway... The vital prognosis of our planet is at stake!
And you, what are you doing to overcome this?
Our bad habits are destroying the planet...
Some might turn a deaf ear but today no one can deny it, we all know it: our planet is in bad shape.
Global warming, natural disasters, depletion of resources, endangered animal and plant species ... So many disastrous consequences! And we know the cause since humans are largely responsible. We often say to ourselves that on our scale we cannot change things and yet... a little nothing can make the difference! Yes, changing your habits and getting out of your comfort zone can have drawbacks, but taking on new habits is a choice that when implemented will become just as obvious as the rest, you just have to get started!
Trier, avoid waste and overconsumption , consume as locally as possible and food fromOrganic Agriculture, promote more ethical fashion by purchasing second hand, educate our children for the world of tomorrow... A few gestures that are steps forward!
Let's get to the heart of the matter with a few striking examples!
Plastic : Ten tons are produced per second in the world. More than nine billion tons of plastics have been accumulated since 1950. At this rate the UN estimates the number of plastic waste at twelve billion in 2050 ... And only 9% of this plastic is recycled. This accumulation of plastic has a direct impact on our oceans and thousands of marine animals are victims of it every day. And unfortunately, plastic is everywhere: packaging for our products, plastic bags, clothing, buildings, medical devices, vehicles, smartphones... This material that is not very recyclable and very polluting has invaded our lives.
Waste and overconsumption : In a society where capitalism takes precedence, where the incentive to buy is pre-existing and where communication pushes us to buy, mass consumption is one of the ordeals of our society. This overconsumption pushes companies to produce more and more and in the assembly line using polluting materials , to export and therefore to use the airways, to favor cheap labor... This overconsumption leads to inevitable waste ... How many times have you bought countless cosmetics that ended up stale in your bathroom?
Food : Have you ever looked at where your products come from? Are they in season? Were they imported from foreign countries? Did they grow in a greenhouse? Are they organic? Consume as locally as possible to avoid the transport and export of products. Consume seasonal products to avoid intensive and modified agriculture. To consume organic as much as possible ideally in order to ensure a healthy agriculture without the use of chemical products such as pesticides. And help small farmers grow! Lifestyle habits that make all the difference...
Fashion: It alone emits 1.2 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases each year. To illustrate this, this figure represents a greater impact than all international flights and maritime traffic. Water consumption is also taken into account: 4% of the drinking water available in the world is used to produce our clothes! Cotton represents a quarter of the world production of textile fibers... A production process that also requires the use of chemical treatments such as chlorine bleaching, the use of heavy metals...

And BeautyMix in all this? Our engagement !
As you know, we are very aware of the issues mentioned above. Our commitment is to promote healthier , sustainable and anti-waste consumption!
Thus, we only use reusable glass containers. More plastic! All you have to do is clean your container to give it a second life!
Us products are sourced as locally as possible and are natural and organic . Thus we make sure to offer you quality products, good for your skin and for the environment.
Our recipes are minimalist in terms of proposed ingredients and compositions. Our number of receipts is also limited to offer you only the essentials and to ensure that there is no waste.
We often carry out actions in favor of responsible and sustainable consumption. This was particularly the case during Green Friday when we offered you the purchase of robots already used during our workshops and demonstrations at reduced prices.
During Christmas, we offered you organic cotton pouches to put your robot and your products in to replace the famous gift wrap...
Our good plans and tips for more responsible consumption!
We give you the list of some products that you can use and which are much better for you and the planet!
Washable and reusable cottons instead of disposable cottons,
Bee's Wrap instead of aluminum foil,
Reusable cotton swabs instead of disposable ones,
Products in solid form instead of aerosol products, plastic bottles,
Tote bags instead of plastic bags,
The cup or menstrual panties instead of sanitary napkins,
Vegetable wax candles instead of mineral candles,
A water bottle instead of plastic water bottles...
Do not hesitate to participate in events to learn about the subject! So here is the example of some good plans taking place at the beginning of the year:
The Boma Momentum is an action-oriented global event to discover why and how to make an impact and shape our future. It takes place on January 27 at the Grand Rex in Paris.
The Salon Change Now takes place in Paris, the weekend of February 1st . On the program of conferences on environmental issues (food, fashion, ocean, pollution).
Stay informed by following pages like:
"Actors of Sustainable Paris", which brings together the dates of many events on ecology and the environment.
"The Environment and Energy Management Agency", all the information on climate change, ecological and energy transition.
You can download mobile apps like:
"DON'T - We Act For Good", a lifestyle application that helps you to be more eco-responsible through a few reflexes to adopt on a daily basis"
"90 days", the application that challenges you on the path to environmental responsibility.
Use search engines like "Ecosia", which with each request or product purchased online, raises funds which aims to finance the planting of trees in several regions of the world...
And the number of good plans are not lacking, so do not hesitate to do your research! It's time for us to learn and act at our level!
