Using Indigenous wisdom to develop sustainable products and packaging.
FY 2020-21 · 2020-05-01
Summary
As an Indigenous beauty brand, we feel compelled to move to more sustainable products. Indigenous people are the founders of sustainability and Cheekbone Beauty is using pre-industrial wisdom to build a new beauty brand. Develop contour/foundation sticks and then further use our findings to develop more products based on the model of sustainability. We are using agricultural waste or plant-based by-products as the main ingredient in the cosmetics product, based on a circular economy and using less petroleum-based ingredients in cosmetics meeting consumer demand for plant-based ingredients. We are also using packaging that will use less plastic; raw ingredients that are sustainable will be housed in packaging that will biodegrade or compost.

Description (French)
En tant que marque de produits de beauté autochtones, nous nous sentons obligés de passer à des produits plus durables. Les peuples autochtones sont les fondateurs de la durabilité et Cheekbone Beauty utilise la sagesse préindustrielle pour créer une nouvelle marque de produits de beauté. Nous mettons au point des bâtonnets de contour/fond de teint et utilisons ensuite nos découvertes pour concevoir d'autres produits basés sur le modèle de la durabilité. Nous utilisons des déchets agricoles ou des sous-produits végétaux comme ingrédient principal dans les produits cosmétiques, en nous basant sur une économie circulaire et en utilisant moins d'ingrédients à base de pétrole dans les cosmétiques, répondant ainsi à la demande des consommateurs pour des ingrédients à base de plantes. Nous utilisons également des emballages qui nécessitent moins de plastique; les ingrédients bruts durables seront logés dans des emballages qui se biodégradent ou se compostent.
