In April, the ELLE editors virtually met to review hundreds of product submissions for this year’s Green Beauty Stars. When ELLE first launched the Green Beauty Stars Awards in 2006, we defined green beauty as products powered by naturally-derived actives. Today, knowledge, as well as the category and the term itself, has broadened. “Clean” products are now a baseline for many consumers. Green products are the next level. For us today, green products have formulas with derived natural and botanical ingredients, as well as efforts to find sustainable solutions in production. We narrowed down all of the entries to create a list of our favorite green products – those which check the boxes of having sustainability efforts, recyclable packaging, and meeting the EWG definition of “clean.” This year’s winners reflect this expansion: Some are innovative products, and others are initiatives aimed at protecting our planet, but all are doing their very best to ensure that their products are friendly to our bodies and the planet.
