Here's a question for beauty fans everywhere: what is the point of all the time spent on a five-step day or 10-step night skincare regimen or perfecting your makeup when the planet will wither away due to global warming?

Beauty brands and other organizations that are heeding the call for sustainability and ethical practices paint a brighter future ahead.

Kiehl's walks its talk through its Succulent Exchange Booth where customers may receive a succulent when they surrender empty Kiehl's bottles. The empty bottles are turned into the plants' containers.

Sunnies Studios, while not a beauty brand, has committed to stop the use of virgin plastic in the production of its eyewear.
