i recycle, i reuse glass bottles and jars whenever possible, i try to minimise the amount of water i use while showering and washing my face as well. i stopped using make up wipes and invested in a silicone brush from foreo for washing my face and i carry cloth bags for shopping. i''m not perfect but i'm trying and i believe that's important

I'm a big advocate of 'only buy when it's empty'. There are products I really want to try but I will refuse until the current one it empty. They will still be there when my cleanser has run out! The only time I don't do this is if my skin has a major reaction. Let's not be product junkies people!

Not to mention, in almost every reaction video where she sees a product being used she thinks is good or interesting, she'll be so quick to say it's "in her cart" or something. LEt's not forget the shopping vlogs, etc. Influencers go through so many products and Cassandra is no exception. She does still indirectly (if not directly) promote overconsumption and I take issue with taking kind of a moral high ground? over this when I have a feeling Cassandra is far more guilty of overconsumption of products than the majority of people in this comment section.

Thank you for doing this cass!! I’m part of that generation that was told that we need to start recycling and while we know that it’s important, it’s also likely that we have not been taught the details of HOW to recycle. The proper way to actually reduce, reuse, and recycle. Not just chuck a bottle or can into it’s own separate bin. 🥔🦋🖤

@satutoivonen9679 3 жыл бұрын

Hey y'all do take note of your LOCAL recycling guidelines! Pretty much every recycling plant is different and you need to know what your specific one requires from you in order for the process to be efficient. Other local factors might have an effect on the overall eco-friendliness of the recycling process as well. An example. Where I live (quite a ways from Cassandra -Helsinki, Finland) we are specifically directed NOT to wash plastic containers before recycling as that uses up a lot of water. We don't have a water scarcity problem as such but water treatment and heating uses up a lot of energy and as only 40% of our energy comes from renewables energy usage means pollution. What we are told to do instead of washing is only scoop or wipe extra product left in the container. With cosmetics this usually leaves the container clean enough for the recycling plants in my area and the plant can easily sort out non-suitable packaging if you happen to make a mistake. However, if the container is still very dirty after scooping (as can be with food packaging or maybe very oily cosmetics) it's better for the environment to put it in the non-recyclables bin than to wash it. One condition for this to make sense is a modern (and cleanish) mixed-waste incinerator plant that we have locally that produces energy for the district heating system. On an area that uses a garbage dump or ships mixed waste to a far away local it could well be that all means of avoiding mixed-waste are recommended. Overall, just be mindful of local conditions before washing used packaging. It might not be necessary and could even be harmful to environment. Sorry for the rant. 🙈 I love that this channel has content on skin care ethics!

At first I was excited about this brand, but after visiting the website and taking the quiz, less so. I'm an amateur cosmetic formulator. I make some of my own skin care, using the same ingredients available to the pros. I learned what makes a good formula, and how ingredients should be combined. You can't tell everything from an ingredient list, but you can learn a lot. I like that Yours includes full ingredient lists. That's a plus. However, their "active Swiss ingredients" don't appear in the list! Well, they might, but under different names. I consider this a little bit shady. A great formula has preservative - no exceptions. There are natural preservatives ... but in many of Yours' products, I don't see preservative ingredients listed. They may be using something I don't know, but they may also be hiding something. [You can get away with less preservative (not zero) in a true airless pump, but if you can open the bottle, it's not airless.] As a contrast, Paula's Choice not only has full ingredient lists on their site, they explain the purpose of each one. Finally, the quiz. I'm part of the vast "50+" group, but I have very good skin I've always taken care of: few wrinkles, no age discoloration, a very little sagging. [My photo was taken at age 54.] I answered the quiz truthfully ... my products had ingredients to reverse pigmentation! I don't think I'll be buying from them. I'll stick with Paula for my retinol, AHA and BHA, Korean sunscreens, and make my own basics.

Hi Liz, thanks for sharing your honest feedback, happy to address your concerns: Regarding the active ingredients, as per the regulatory requirements, we display the complete ingredients list with INCI names. Each active ingredient is a combination of multiple actives, for example, Pinolumin which is a Swiss stone pine extract is a combination of these- Aqua & Alcohol & Pentylene Glycol & Pinus Cembra Wood Extract. Another example- Miniporyl which is red clover flower extract is combination of- Isopentyldiol & Trifolium Pratense Flower Extract. Based on your feedback, we are taking away a learning to add the INCI of each active separately and we are also working on colour coding the ingredients based on EWG safety rating to make it easier for our users to read the ingredients list. As a young start-up, we are always looking to learn from the experience and feedback from our customers 🙂 As for the preservatives, we do use safe and gentle preservatives like SODIUM BENZOATE, POTASSIUM SORBATE, etc. We believe in complete transparency and all the ingredient lists on our website are 100% complete, there are no hidden ingredients. Lastly, the recommendation you would have received for ageing skin must have been full of anti-oxidants (which also reverses pigmentation).With age, the skin barrier function naturally weakens, hence, anti-oxidants are all the more important to protect ageing skin from damage caused by oxidative stress. Oxidative stress in skin plays a major role in the aging process causing wrinkles, etc. Hope that explains why you were recommended anti-oxidants in your routine.

I've begun investing my money in the real ME rather than the made-up, societal pleasing "me". Instead of wasting money on new makeup products, clothes, and home decor, I have taken up thrifting more so than ever to reduce the market need that, in turn, generates new items to be produced. Throughout my time doing this, I have been overjoyed to find and pick unique items that truly stand out to me and that aid in me feeling that I have made a conscious, thoughtful decision in what I allow into my life. Walking into major retailers, malls, and perusing online sites no longer instills that WANT in me because I now understand that even though I may think something is beautiful or convenient, I do not absolutely need it. What really helped me get this down was when I began shopping for housewares. I had SO much stuff at home and clutter was piling up...I made the proactive decision to donate all that I could in order to declutter and feel more comfortable in my home environment. I took on the mindset of functionality. If something is unique AND I can use it for a certain purpose that fits my lifestyle, I make the choice to put my money towards it. Even with that, I later learned to research companies and pinpoint what THEY support, if they have any environmental/eco-friendly labeling, and what that means in their eyes. As a child, I had an affinity for sweet tea and fell in love with a brand that had witty or insightful sayings on the inside cap. The one I have thought about since then said, "What you own also owns you". Hearing that changed my view entirely on consumerism and my role within that as a part of the societal whole. I am so grateful for that little tea cap as it has stuck with me for well over a decade. Thank you for sharing this video, I feel as though this subject needs to be addressed more widely, it was thorough and informative

Maybe we should all aim at using less skin care and or use more local (indy) brands? Fact is we get a daily tsunami of products forced upon us through Social media and influencers who seduce us to buy. We scream for influencers and celebrities to start their own skin care line, which sells out like crazy. And I don't even want to mention the burden on the environment because of all the shipping, wether from Hong Kong (Yesstyle) or Switzerland 😉 Also, how weird is it that glass jars can't be recycled when there product still left in them! Where I'm from (the Netherlands) we are allowed to hand in half full wine bottle or jars with residu in them. Sorry, if my writing isn't correct. English is not my first language.🇳🇱

I use everything I can in a more eco friendly format. For example, shampoo and conditioner bars, oils or bars for the body etc. but when it comes to things like toothpaste or skincare, I am very cautious. for example I would never in my life risk my teeth by using diy toothpaste and with toothpaste tabs, appaerently they don't contain enough fluoride. And when it comes to my skincare, yes, most products I use are packaged in plastic, but I really minimized my routine. Also, I don't eat fish, so that's probably the most impactful thing I do when it comes to plastic and the oceans

Yes, I do believe all small changes anyone can make, do in fact matter. However, can we stop pretending that us as consumers can on our own fix the problem. We need corporations to be responsible for the new plastic and other materials they are creating to make products, they also need to be responsible for ensuring recycling processes are actually available to majority of their consumers before they preach about consumer responsibilities. I could go on but I think this is enough for now!

From what I've read, it all goes through a massive machine and is separate out into recycle or not. I'm assuming there is some fancy machine learning going on. If there is food in containers it can't identify it as recyclable. Anything not identifed goes to the dump. Us sorting prior helps the machine out so more overall gets recycled. Where I'm from if you don't sort your recycling correctly they won't take it.

To my understanding, the environmental impact of silicones in the beauty industry is unknown and research is needed.

I think I would recycle more if I had a dish washer, however I am a college student, so I don't. Also I wish I could be more sustainable with skin care but it is very difficult. I have eczema, and occasionally get folliculitis that takes forever to go away. I also have body acne, and I easily get streach marks. Sometimes I have to wrap my skin with gauze with different cream, serums, oils, and ointments to see a difference. I recently have started to use advanced clinicals retinol and collagen lotion, which has helped. I am 19 so I find my skin a little annoying. I know brands are doing customized skin care for faces, but I think they should also do it for bodies.

I love this!! Once I’m done with some skincare I’d love to use this brand. I did a project last semester on the future of plastic pollution and how it can be managed better. One thing that gave me hope was that PS and other plastics can be made in combinations that scientists are testing to show a much faster degradation. This information can be used when plastic is manufactured. Also, one study showed that when PS is photochemically oxidized it breaks down much faster than previously thought (because previous studies were based on the biological composition vs during a reaction with sun & water) and breaks down into carbon dioxide and dissolved carbon. I’d like to send you my presentation if you’re interested. I should note my chemistry and biology knowledge is mostly beginner from pre-med style classes.

I think I know why so many people react so strongly to your videos and perhaps dislike some things. You make us uncomfortable with our everyday choices and make us realize we can and should do better. Not an easy thing to digest.

I'm new to skincare, and I just inherited a little bit of money. Bad combination! I use bar soaps for hands and sometimes for face. I'm oily and the high quality face bar soaps don't strip my face. I don't have a lot of money usually, and I really don't consume a lot of goods generally. I rarely buy clothes, I don't buy new furnitures, always used. I share a car with my mom, we live close and that works for us. I actually do quite a lot that is sustainable. And the splurging in skincare is short term. I will probably retire to use differin, vitamin c, moisturizer, bha/aha and sunscreen in the future. But right now I really love Korean skincare rituals. It's so meditating and fun, and the skin looks radiant.

I was taught in school to reduce, try to reuse and if all else fails recycle. But I was always confused about bathroom stuff, am I suppose to chuck it with the used toilet paper or something.

In the UK, LOOK FANTASTIC will recycle empty, clean cosmetic packages for free via storm board! You just need to send the empties to them and they will take care of the rest. I wish more companies had initiatives like this ❤️

Maybe I missed it but how are caps recycled? Do they collect them from customers and recycle themselves? Because from my experience all the pumps, spray and other multi-component caps are VERY DIFFICULT to recycle and are most likely not recycled by city system (but are recycled by someone like terracycle) Also on their website they say to reuse the bottles but I couldn't find quickly how to purchase refills. But maybe it was somewhere deeper on the website

Hi Anastasia, sorry for missing your comment! We're a young startup and our recycling program is in the pipelines, however there is also an environmental cost to transport products back to us - as such we're in the midst of figuring out how we can scale this effectively and globally. We're working on launching refill packs of your personalised skincare as well, which will be a much more cost effective and environmentally-friendly option for you. P.S. check out our sustainability roadmap here - yours.sg/sustainabilityroadmap

In France and Belgium (that I know of), you don't need to rinse your glass containers before recycling, because they already rinse them during treatment... So please, only rinse your glass if it is explicitly required to do so, otherwise you're wasting water!

Whether you can recycle things and the specific rules are very dependent on your location! Take a few minutes and look up the rules in your area if you want to be the most confident your items are being recycled and aren’t contaminating the recycling stream!
