Are you looking to live a cleaner-greener life? Maybe you’re not ready to go all-in vegan but switching up other aspects and actions can be super easy and make a big impact. STG is back in Chicago on Daytime TV to share some fun ways to keep it clean and green from brands that are making serious strides to clean up their products for our health and planet!
The FACE! For some reason, we are programmed to think we need to use super strong ingredients and chemicals to get results with our skincare. NOT TRUE! Some of the most potent ingredients come from plants and nature. Like Pure Retinols in Bliss and the healing and toning clays in Sand & Sky.
BLISS Youth Got This
SHOP: @Ulta
In 2021, Bliss became the first mass and drug skincare brand to receive B Corp Certification. This certification confirms that Bliss meets the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose.
· Bliss packaging and formulas are created to consciously minimize the impact on the planet. The brand has an official partnership with TerraCycle to ensure that all packaging is 100% recyclable and to redirect packaging from landfills. Through the Bliss Recycling Program, consumers can now send in all Bliss personal care products and packaging to be recycled for free.
· By prioritizing waste reduction initiatives, Bliss saved more than 340,000 square feet of single-use waste and an additional 900 lbs of unnecessary packaging waste from being generated in 2020 alone.

Lips are a hot or rather chapped topic this time of year. We’ve talked about Lanolips for moms and babies before but nothing is as clean for lips on all of us. It simply heals with “above medical grade” Aussie lanolin and so many other natural skin soothers
