With more of us considering the impact of our daily actions on the planet, we could all make some more eco-friendly choices when it comes to our wellness and skincare rituals. Whether your top priority is animal welfare, sustainable packaging, or all-natural ingredients, here are six companies with planet-friendly practices and principles doing their bit for the environment.
Wunder Workshop
Purpose-driven Ayurvedic-inspired functional food brand, Wunder Workshop, leaves no stone unturned in their quest for sustainability. Heart-led founders Zoe and Tom use only organic, vegan ingredients for their food-based brand that produces natural formulas that work to relieve stress and anxiety, aid sleep, enhance energy and support overall wellbeing. Turmeric is the hero spice used in their bestselling product, Golden Mylk, a turmeric latte blend that can reduce inflammation to bring your body back into balance.
Their adaptogen blends, like Turmeric CBD Oil, Superior Ashwagandha, and mushroom-blend Golden Glow, reduce chronic stress on the body. Wunder Workshop’s tagline ‘Consumption With Purpose’ relates to, as Zoe tells us: “Purpose relates to more than just our personal values; it’s also about the ingredients and how they support a bigger purpose of creating healthy soil by supporting those farmers who farm most sustainably. Lastly, the purpose of the ingredients for our human body, the health they offer, and honoring their wisdom.”
Essentials by Zoe LVH
Essentials by Zoe LVH is a social enterprise with a mission. Zoe, also the founder of Wunder Workshop, created the brand in honor of her mother who was diagnosed with, and later died of, breast cancer. Her heartfelt products, B-Essential Breast Care Oil, and Grief Balm, help to soften pain, calm nerves, and nurture your body and mind. Packed in unique handmade pouches, each product sale supports grief and cancer charities and empowers women to take care of their bodies. B’Essential Breast Care Oil can support monthly breast care checks and be used as a gentle self-care ritual. Grief Balm can be applied when you’re feeling low to uplift and nourish in moments of need.
Wisdow
With their tagline, ‘Cute, Clean, Vegan and Worry-Free', Wisdow features all-natural, safe ingredients for their range of nurturing skincare products. Wisdow products are free from silicones, parabens, sulfates, GMOs, mineral oils, synthetic colors, artificial fragrances, and animal testing. French native, Chloe Millet, who created the brand in 2016, describes being on a mission of “awareness, sustainability, and education”. They are honest and transparent in all stages of production, labeling, and communication. As a brand, they invite people to create a “new, slow, rich and clean lifestyle, stepping away from toxicities.”
Wisdow realized how intimidating skincare can be for some people, so aim to make it more accessible with only ingredients that nourish and hydrate even the most sensitive of skins, from their natural Facial Exfoliant to their Botanical Cleansing Oil and Myrrh Anti-Aging Serum. Their minimal aesthetic looks great on your shelf too!

Expertly formulated in England with Ayurvedic practitioners and aromatherapists, their products honor traditional methods and are rich in active ingredients.

La Fervance
You don’t usually see luxury and sustainability together, but for La Fervance’s founder, Melissa Obeid, this was a non-negotiable. The ingredients in every La Fervance product are traceable, 100% natural, and certified by Ecocert. They are sustainability sourced and COSMOS-certified for sustainability. Their packaging is 100% recyclable and COSMOS-certified using glass primary packaging and FSC-accredited, fine Italian-made papers for their cartons. Sourcing them in Europe means that transporting the packaging is kept to a minimum.
La Fervance commits to only working with partners that operate sustainability, and are environmentally safe, and their intentions are to become even more eco-friendly in time reducing their waste across the business, introducing a refill program (where customers can reuse existing packaging with product refills instead of buying new packaging every time), and to work with companies to remove plastic from oceans, preserve forests and halt degradation and biodiversity loss. Eclat Extraordinaire is La Fervance’s debut product – a multi-use balm that can be used as a daily moisturizer, a 10-minute mask, or an indulgent overnight treatment to deliver unparalleled skincare benefits from 67% active ingredients including intense hydration and anti-aging. Their luxurious skincare range includes Gommage Extraordinaire, an exfoliant that transforms into an oil, and beauty tools for your indulgent skincare moments.
