Better sustainable beauty marketing claims

Dec 3 / Eva Lagarde





Marketing claims are getting more pressured by new legislation every day. Formulas have a very strict array of regulations, and when it comes to packaging it seems that we are entering a dangerous territory as well.

There are the claims that the public won’t hear anymore. Or that it won’t convince them anymore of your greenery, like; sustainable beauty, clean beauty, green, cruelty free, vegan, organic, natural, etc.
We all need to go into more details about the sustainability aspect of our products. For example, when we say a packaging material is better than another one, we need to explain why, give facts and figures and explain how we came to this conclusion.

It’s not enough to say you know better. You need to PROVE it now.

That’s why we have created re/sources, to help you master your sustainable product development, know which choices you should make and back up your marketing claims!

We have developed the “Sustainable Beauty Packaging” course for that purpose. We are also developing a small module about marketing claims and new regulations ... Would that be of interest to you?
