The cosmetics and personal care industry, due to its inherent characteristics, has been a contributor to global environmental problems such as climate change, waste generation, water scarcity, habitat destruction, as well as water and air pollution. Consequently, it has become more imperative than ever for companies in this industry to take responsibility and proactively address these environmental issues. The focus on sustainability in the cosmetics sector has recently been on packaging materials, but there are other ways to address the world's environmental issues. Sustainability should begin with the ingredients used and continue through the product's entire decomposition into the environment. It should also consider the product's social influence on the user. The aim of this article is to outline a comprehensive approach for the cosmetics and personal care industry to address environmental challenges and promote sustainability. This approach encompasses various aspects including ingredient sourcing, product formulation, production processes, packaging solutions, social responsibility, consumer education, collaboration, and transparency. By considering these factors, the industry should minimize its environmental impact, and contribute to a more sustainable future.
