Who’s Who in Natural Beauty!
The time has come again where Natural Beauty News have announced their list of Who’s Who in the industry. Voted by you, for the third year in a row, our Founders Jo & Stuart Chidley have made it to the Top 5!
The list covers an array of pioneers within a variety of sectors including brand owners, formulators, educators and campaigners. Falling under each of those categories are our Founders Jo & Stuart who campaign daily for a more sustainable future. Fronting the #ReuseRevolution, their mission is to create the most sustainable beauty products in the world from the inside out! Including the reusable packaging that’s part of our Return · Refill · Repeat to our microplastic free ingredients.
“Sustainability is at the heart of every decision we make, and it doesn’t just stop at the borders of Beauty Kitchen. We want a true shift to happen within the industry and for this to happen we’re not afraid to push the boundaries. We never have and never will use microplastic ingredients, but this is not enough. We need others to follow suit. Plastic pollution is a real issue and we are proud to campaign alongside Madhuri & Beat the Microbead to put an end to microplastic ingredients full stop. We can collectively contribute to eliminating microplastics from all industries before they eliminate our planet.” - Jo Chidley.
Jo, with her background in chemistry, is also a leading expert at ECHA (European Chemicals Agency) where she continues to fight for the restriction of microplastic use in the cosmetic industry alongside our good friend Madhuri Prabhakar. The project leader for Beat the Microbead, Madhuri also believes that plastics in cosmetics is a design error that continuously causes a threat to our environment. It makes complete sense that she also made the Who’s Who list!
“I’m so proud of the joint commitment between Beat the Microbead and Beauty Kitchen in raising awareness about the use of microplastic ingredients in cosmetics. We will continue to make the community larger and reach as many people as possible. Not only that, but we will continue our fight on the policy level to make microplastic-free beauty products a reality!” – Madhuri Prabhakar.
