Beauty: EcoBeautyScore, the environmental rating system, enters the deployment phase
After three years of development, the initiative, supported by a consortium of beauty industry players, is now operational. This rating system is now used by several consumer brands, including L'Oréal Paris, Neutrogena, Nivea and Eucerin, which have begun publishing their product scores in several mainland European markets, as well as in the UK. The project was initiated in 2021 by L'Oréal, LVMH, Henkel and Unilever, and has since been joined by some 40 other players, including Coty, Estée Lauder, Puig, Shiseido, Sisley, Amorepacific, Febea, Cosmetic Valley and Cosmetics Europe. Structured as a non-profit association, the EcoBeautyScore system aims to create a common framework for assessing the environmental footprint of skincare and personal care products. Like Nutriscore in the food sector, it awards a grade from A to E, based on 16 impact indicators (carbon, water, natural resources, pollution, etc.), over the product's entire life cycle. The system is based on the European Union's Environmental Product Footprint (EPF) methodology, and has been validated by Ecocert. Participating brands will undergo regular audits, with certification by an independent third party. "EcoBeautyScore provides the beauty sector with a much-needed transparency tool. For the first time, brands can communicate their environmental impact in a coherent, digestible way, based on scientific data," explains Jean-Baptiste Massignon, Managing Director of the EcoBeautyScore association. Initially, EcoBeautyScore is being deployed in four segments: shampoos, conditioners, shower gels and facial care products. Interested brands can access a trial version of the system free of charge, as well as resources to help them implement it. The consortium plans a gradual extension to other product categories, with an international opening in the coming months.

40 Summery Beauty Products To Use All Year
L'Oréal Paris BB Cream, a green-tinted formula that combats redness through the power of color theory. It doesn't stop there — it also works to even complexion, hydrate with vitamin E, and set the perfect stage for you to apply your makeup on. Turns out you don't have to drop $50+ on Dr Jart+'s Cicapair Color Correcting Cream! And an ultra-affordable E.l.f. color corrector that comes in a ton of shades to help counteract different types of discoloration, like redness and dark spots. Mix and match to create the perfect foundation for the rest of your makeup routine. A nail and cuticle oil to bring life back to your damaged nails, even if you did something really bad like — gasp! — peel off a gel manicure. This formula will get your nails back in tip-top shape and ready for that seashell nail art you had in mind. Ogx Argan Oil of Morocco Curl-Defining Cream for curls so bouncy you'll be jumping for joy (and to show them off). The argan oil-boosted formula moisturizes and tames frizz (nice try, summer humidity!) while adding a level of volume and shine you'd normally expect from a much higher price point. Or Lottabody Wrap Me Curl Mousse, a whipped-cream-like delight that defines curls, moisturizes with shea and coconut oil, and tackles frizz. The foam makes it super easy to distribute throughout your hair, and the heavenly scent will make you feel like you're on a tropical vacation. 44,000 customers have given this budget-friendly find a thumbs up! A Kerasal fungal nail renewal formula to revitalize your tootsies by helping thicken nails and reduce discoloration. Feel free to plan to wear open-toed shoes next week — reviewers started noticing a visible difference within days, and 48,000+ customers are happy with the results. Brazilian Bum Bum body cream loved by Zoomers (and 40,000+ 5-star raters) for its incredible smell and powerful hydration powers. The formula uses caffeine-packed guarana extract and coconut oil to firm and moisturize skin, leaving it glowing and smelling like the very essence of summer. A pomade hair wax stick for flattening those annoying flyaway hairs on the back of your neck or around your hairline. Just slide the formula over targeted areas to control cowlicks, baby hair, frizz, and other wayward strands. Outdoor dining, boat excursions, boardwalk strolls, and other windy events are suddenly less of a headache: Just ask the 4,300+ 5-star reviewers who swear by this stuff. A wildly popular Wet n Wild lipstick that, against all odds, will only cost you a single dollar. You can't even find something that affordable in an actual dollar store anymore! Despite the unreal price, the results are very real: 42,000 happy customers love the long-lasting color, hydration from aloe, and extensive color selection with plenty of summer-ready shades. A hair-lightening spray to brighten up hair by TWO shades or more! Spritz a little of this citrus and chamomile spray onto damp hair, then activate it with heat-styling tools. I recommend blow drying and hitting it with a curling iron or straightener for the best results. Over 7,000 5-star raters love it because it's less harsh than bleach and even works on dark hair. A dermatologist-recommended tinted sunscreen with SPF 41 so you can take on the day without fear of burning your delicate face to a crisp (so long as you reapply!). It's fragrance free, lightweight, and perfect for people with sensitive skin. Or a bottle of Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen, a classic option with almost 14,000 5-star ratings thanks to its uncannily sheer appearance. This sweat-resistant formula has SPF 40 and glides onto your skin like a gel. It's super lightweight *and* can be used as a makeup primer. Kojic acid dark spot remover soap that harnesses the power of iconic ingredients hyaluronic acid, retinol, shea butter, vitamin E, and Castile olive oil to hydrate and diminish the appearance of dark spots, sun damage, and blemishes. Reviewers have used it on their face, hands, neck, bikini area, inner thighs, and underarms to achieve a glowier, more even complexion. Quick, someone hand me a tank top — it's time to show these pits off! A Revlon volcanic face roller way easier to use than those disposable blotting pads. You just roll the volcanic stone over any oily or sweaty areas on your face and then pop it in your bag for later. It doesn't even mess with your makeup! Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream to pamper your décolletage with some special summer skincare attention. The glycerin and aloe hydrate, while the salicylic acid gently exfoliates, leaving firmer, softer skin. An Elizavecca collagen coating hair protein treatment that takes your dry, summer-frizzed hair and turns it into the silky-soft locks you've always wanted. Just apply it to wet hair after shampooing, wait five minutes, rinse, and wonder why all hair treatments don't work this well. 38,000+ 5-star ratings mean a lot of people are wondering the same thing! A Medix retinol body lotion because if retinol works so well for your face, it's gotta do wonders for the rest of your body too. With the help of ferulic acid, it encourages skin cell turnover to help tighten and firm skin. One reviewer says they're obsessed with Medix's whole line of lotions. Or a lightweight gel cream from Nivea with powerful Q10 that helps plump, firm, and moisturize skin in as little as two weeks with consistent use. Over 18,000 5-star raters are happy with their results! An easy-to-apply, one-hour self-tanner that's cheaper yet more effective than most competitors. The vegan formula is easy to blend without streaks or uneven patches, which makes it a hit with beginners. While the tan may be instant, the fade is nice and gradual. A box of Grace & Stella under-eye masks formulated with hyaluronic acid and glycerin to give your eye bags the shot of hydration they need to get up and GO after a long winter hiding inside. Reviewers said the refreshing patches helped them reduce puffiness, redness, and dark circles. Summer spa day, anyone? A waterproof Essence Lash Princess lengthening mascara that 51,500+ reviewers confirm is lightweight, won't transfer, doesn't smudge, and lasts all day — even if someone pushes you in the pool. Why Essence only charges $5 for such an S-tier mascara is beyond me, but we're all grateful. L'Oréal Paris Elvive 8 Second Wonder Water bringing you silkier hair in just eight seconds. On top of a wave of hydration, it also adds shine and decreases frizz and static. Summer humidity can try to frizz up hair all it wants, but you'll be prepared! Or a deep-conditioning hair mask promising smoother, shinier, and stronger hair, even if you're fighting against bleached, dry, or damaged locks. It can even handle Florida levels of humidity! Veet sensitive hair removal gel kindly providing a soothing, gentle alternative to razors or waxing. The aloe-infused formula works in under 10 minutes by dissolving hair on your legs, arms, back, and bikini area. It's designed to be more efficient and reduce the risk of ingrown hairs — imagine a world without those annoying bumps! 48,000+ 5-star raters are already experiencing it. Juno & Co.'s Clean 10 Cleansing Balm made with a blend of pearl barley and vitamin E to completely obliterate every speck of makeup and sunscreen on your face. Seriously, you'll feel so fresh and baby-faced, you'll wonder if that eyeliner was really as smudge-proof as you previously thought. A L'Oreal glow-enhancing lotion that'll have you feeling like the Baby Sun from Teletubbies. Mix this glycerin-infused illuminator with your favorite moisturizer or foundation, wear it as a makeup base, or use it as a highlighter for that coveted lit-from-within look. Julep Eyeshadow 101 — a creme-to-powder waterproof pencil that comes in a ton of neutral *and* playful summer hues, like lavender and papaya. Over 42,000 people love this multitasking putty because it's easy to apply and has vitamins C and E for a little skincare boost. Grab the mint shade and live your best Aquamarine life. Mielle's Rosemary Mint strengthening oil, a TikTok-hall-of-famer that almost 7,500 5-star reviews confirm is worth the hype. The biotin-infused serum can help strengthen hair and encourage new growth, leaving hair feeling healthier and fuller. Reviewers say it's helped with everything from receding hairlines to sparse eyebrows. I wouldn't blame you if you left your sun hat behind so you can show off your new 'do. A Nooni tinted appleberry lip oil offering a lightweight alternative to the heavy matte lipsticks you may have favored in colder weather. The apple seed and raspberry extract-infused oil offers long-lasting hydration and a touch of color WITHOUT any annoying stickiness. A Revlon hot air brush over 400,000 5-star raters (!!!) love for its ability to create blowout-level looks right at home. Expect glossy, effortless waves that rival the ones at the beach with just a few brushes. We don't have time to wrestle with a hairdryer this summer — have rooftop parties to go to! Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel, in case you've always wanted to not only drink the energizing tea, but also wear it. This cult fave can help quickly minimize eye puffiness and swelling using its combination of caffeine and hyaluronic acid. Finally, your eyes can look and feel as refreshed as you do after a bottle of White Label. Name a more iconic summer treat, I'll wait. The Face Shop's Rice Water Bright Foaming Facial Cleanser with a fan club of 18,000+ happy customers who appreciate the affordable alternative to Tatcha Rice Wash. This gentle, hydrating cleanser can remove waterproof makeup, dirt, and even stubborn sunscreen to leave your face feeling dewy and fresh. A Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener to expertly conceal and brighten dark circles under your eyes you've been previously hiding behind sunglasses. The lightweight, color-adapting formula blends so seamlessly under makeup that your old concealer will throw itself out. A Laura Geller color-correcting powder foundation offering light coverage that blends in easily, so beginners and those looking for something low maintenance can throw it on and go. Check out how glowy these reviewers look! Anua heartleaf pore-clearing cleansing oil, a perfect first step in your double cleansing routine. It dissolves makeup and sunscreen, attacks blackheads, and works to remove excess sebum without stripping away natural oils or drying out your skin. Gross but intriguing: Reviewers say that they could actually see the gunk leaving their skin. A set of itty-bitty dermaplaning razors that will make quick work of peach fuzz, stray hairs, and eyebrows in need of a touch-up. They're designed with micro-guards, which means you don't have to worry about nicking yourself, even if you don't have the steadiest hand. Reviewers love that you can extend the time between threading appointments — or skip them altogether. Black Girl Sunscreen's Make It Pop Sungloss with SPF 50 to moisturize and give your pout a summery pop. Wear it alone or over your favorite lipstick — either way, your lips will be protected. Have you ever seen sunburnt lips? You do NOT want that. Hanni Shave Pillow, a showerless shave gel made with cactus water and glycerin for anyone who wants to shave their legs (or wherever!) but doesn't have time to jump in the shower. Apply the gel stick, shave, and the rub the remaining formula into your skin to hydrate, soothe, and protect against razor burn. A coconut lip scrub that uses jojoba and avocado oil to help soften lips and leave them smelling like a tropical getaway. Name a scent more summery than coconut. I'll wait! Hawaiian Tropic's SPF 30 Mineral Powder Sunscreen Brush offering some light coverage (and extra sun protection on top of your normal sunscreen) that won't weigh you down on hot days. Most intriguing: Reviewers are using this on their scalp and hairline because YES scalp burns can happen and NO we're not putting goopy sunscreen in our hair. It's also wayyy cheaper than the $69 Colorescience version.

29 Products You'll Buy, Rebuy, And Buy Again
A green-tinted L'Oréal Paris anti-redness BB cream for neutralizing redness while simultaneously priming and hydrating your skin. You'll be ~flush with compliments~ on your makeup, but no one will be able to see the rosiness peek through. Phew! A pack of carborundum sponges because these are the heavy hitters you'll want for stains and gunk that no other sponge is strong enough to handle. And on the topic of heavy hitters, a deep-conditioning hair mask to repair your dry, damaged, bleached, frizzy hair from the inside out, leaving your mane smoother, shinier, and stronger. It works on all hair types, and one reviewer said it made their hair feel "like butter." Ummmmm, wow, need! A bug bite relief patch if your poor littles get absolutely devoured by mosquitoes every year. These kid-safe patches are infused with witch hazel and aloe to soothe itchy bites and prevent kids from scratching. A lightweight gel cream from Nivea so good, your friends may think you have a filter on your skin. (That seriously happened for one reviewer!) With consistent use, you may notice plumper, firmer, more moisturized skin, thanks in part to a superhero ingredient called Q10. A pack of slow cooker liners that'll come in handy if you have a lot of hungry people to feed. With the disposable liners, you can cook different recipes at the same time, reducing your overall cooking time *and* saving you from having to wash a huge stack of dishes. A dog paw scrubber for all-in-one paw cleaning that won't bother your pooch and certainly won't bother you now that your floors will be free of muddy paw prints. A cut-to-size aloe wrap because warm weather means you're bound to have at least one really bad sunburn, no matter how hard you try to be diligent about sunscreen application. A Howard Products Feed-N-Wax wood polish and conditioner to revive your dinged and dented cabinets and table. This is a heck of a lot cheaper than actually replacing them, and using it on a regular basis can actually help keep the wood hydrated so it lasts longer. A TikTok-loved lip plumper set if you want temporary lip injections without the needles (or the $$$ price tag). You'll get two products: a ginger plumping treatment and a minty nighttime mask to hydrate your juicy pout. A WD-40 pen (A pen! Genius!) so you can enjoy the squeak-quieting, hinge-lubricating, rust-preventing powers that you know and love from traditional WD-40 but in an easy-to-maneuver precise pen tip. Some plant cleaning wipes with neem oil that'll lift those water spots (ugh, what an eyesore!) as well as dirt and dust on the leaves, making it easier for your photosynthesize more effectively. Not only will you have beautiful shiny leaves, but you may also notice fewer pests thanks to the neem oil, a well-known insecticide and repellent with antifungal properties. A bottle of Miss Mouth's Messy Eater Stain Treater spray for, yes, messy eaters, but also muddy footprints, pet accidents, period-related stains, and more. Parents swear by this stuff for its magical ability to make that mess *poof* disappear without using chlorine, perfumes, and sulfates. I'm not a parent, but I am giddy at the thought of not having "period" underwear anymore because I can just spray the stains away. A cruelty-free Essence Lash Princess lengthening mascara because you're tired of mascaras that don't live up to their promises. This one won't let you down — I promise! It's lightweight, won't transfer, doesn't smudge, and lasts all day. Consider your expectations exceeded! Or a tube of E.l.f Cosmetics Lash Xtndr tubing mascara to make you say, I was so silly as you think back to 30 seconds before using this mascara when you were considering expensive lash extensions. Why would you even want them when you have this lengthening and defining formula, which, BTW, wipes clean with just water. No smudging, no flaking, and no copious amount of scrubbing to remove mascara at the end of the day. A true blessing for thin, fragile lashes! A snout balm if your dog's nose is capital dry and CRUSTY (with a capital C). It's made with a hydrating blend of shea butter, hempseed oil, and vitamin E that'll soften cracked, sensitive skin, and it's safe to be licked. A bleach-free, no-scrub weekly shower spray so soap scum and shower grime buildup goes bye-bye without you ever having to wipe. Rinse it clean the next day, and you'll be amazed to see those hard water stains on your shower door are *poof* gone. A box of Color Catcher sheets that'll save you from major headaches when your favorite white T-shirt and your new red denim jacket take a tumble together. The sheets are designed to grab any dye that leaks or bleeds, so you don't end up with unintentionally tie-dyed clothes. An effective gnat trap for discreetly nabbing the flying pests who are currently invading your kitchen. A plant-based cooking oil solidifier (you might remember it from Shark Tank!) because it makes getting rid of leftover grease easier than whatever method you're using right now. Simply sprinkle the powder in your remaining oil while it's still hot, let it cool, and then scoop it into the trash. A Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener to conceal evidence of a stressful work week, broken sleep, or just genetic dark circles. And the $6 price tag? *chef's kiss* A Dr. Scholl's heel repair balm if your heels are so cracked and dry that you refuse to let other people see your bare feet. This intensely hydrating salve comes in an easy-to-apply roll-on formula and is designed to soften and protect the skin and fill in heel cracks. An anti-humidity spray so you can give humidity a metaphorical middle finger. This spray creates a waterproof coat around your hair that blocks out moisture (that eventually leads to frizziness). As if that wasn't already magical enough, this effect lasts up to 72 hours or through two to three shampoos! A Swizzle Stick — yep — an absorbent post-sex sponge that deals with the often ~un-cum-fortable~ problem of leaking fluids. Leave it in for a few seconds after you've done the deed, let it do its thang, toss it, and then enjoy the feeling of dry underwear as you drift off to sleep. A sweat-activated dry shampoo for 24 hours of protection from oily roots and smelly strands. When you sweat, the fragrance capsules pop, releasing a burst of green apple, pear, and pineapple–scented deliciousness. A flame colorant because they'll make cozy nights in front of the fire pit just a little bit more special. A pack of foaming garbage disposal cleaners to deodorize your sink ASAP and get rid of the funk. Please, please, please do not stick your hand down the drain; let this do the work instead! A Maybelline volumizing brow mousse if you're for natural-looking, full brows — all day long. This formula will fill in sparse brows, fluff up thin brows, and tame curly brows. A "flossing toothbrush" with two types of bristles: flossing bristles that are 10 times thinner so you can really get into the grooves between your teeth, and regular firm bristles that are designed to last longer than the nylon bristles your current toothbrush probably has. Reviewers say it's gentle yet effective, even on sensitive teeth!
