Beauty Tips For Body Care
Caring about our environment is important, but as one comment says, changing legislations will do a lot more than turning environmentalism into a marketing gimmick.Cassandra Bankson made this video where she comments on a dermatologist's routine, she keeps talking about how the (affordable and effective) products used were not ethical enough, and many people found her position privileged.Many got bad vibes from watching recent Cassandra Bankson's video where she comments on Dr.Dray's routine but couldn't quite verbalize why. These comments sum it up well:"The more I learn about cruelty free beauty the more I realise it almost doesn’t exist, especially on the sustainability front. I enjoy a lot of your content but i find this video slightly hypocritical. "" This is my biggest issues with the vegan community, you’re never vegan enough. It gets really annoying fast hearing ‘not cruelty free’ 1000x times. What does that even mean? Cruelty towards the animals? The workers in the factories? The workers who mine the raw material? There’s no way that stream is completely‘cruelty free’. :S Also like others already pointed out these items are super expensive, cheaper alternatives are a must. "" There are no sustainable oil options, that’s greenwashing. The work to extract oils from “natural” sources can be just as wasteful and harmful. Mineral oil is arguably the most sustainable because it’s a by product of what’s already there. The cosmetic and medical communities are not the biggest consumers nor drivers of fossil fuels—we could all quit mineral oil in our cosmetics and it would not make a dent in that industry. Being “cruelty free” is subjective and arguably a privileged choice. It’s great that people are conscious and make those personal decisions to reduce harm but market veganism won’t make a difference in the long run. Movements that push for legislative change do. Falling for greenwashing marketing is potentially consuming propaganda that takes pressure off governments and corporations to change and put it on individuals instead. ""i believe if 17$ nivea sunscreen is doing the job what a 42$ cruelty free supergoop does, people should go for it. not everyone can afford high end cruelty free products everytime and we should check our privilige when we speak. because poverty is as real as sustainability but sadly one is not marketable, but the other one is."What are your opinions on this?
