Been browsing at Sephora and noticed the Clean + Planet Positive seal on specific products? For years already, Sephora has been increasingly growing its Clean Beauty category. With the introduction of the Clean + Planet Positive seal, brands that prioritise sustainable practices in their creation and marketing of beauty products are highlighted and given the Sephora seal of approval.

What does this mean for the average consumer like you and me? Simply put, consumers who are increasingly requesting for greater transparency from brands are not only educated about what goes on behind-the-scenes, products with an environmentally-friendly philosophy are now more easily available. As a forerunner in the beauty industry, Sephora leads the movement via a two-prong approach: Clean + Planet Positive (better for us) and Clean at Sephora (better for me).

Clean at Sephora

Clean at Sephora focuses on providing the right knowledge to its consumers. One way this is achieved is through its “formulated without” ingredient list – ingredients that are known or suspected to be potentially harmful to human health and the environment. Via science-backed innovations, products in the Clean at Sephora category house a curation of the best in the clean category within the beauty industry.

Clean at Sephora brands include: Fresh, Tatcha, Tarte, GloWish, Olaplex

Ukraine fires several US-made longer-range missiles into Russia for the first time
Ukraine fired several American-supplied longer-range missiles into Russia, officials said Tuesday, marking the first time Kyiv used the weapons that way in 1,000 days of war. The use of the Army Tactical Missile System, known as ATACMS, came as Russian President Vladimir Putin formally lowered the threshold for using nuclear weapons, opening the door to a potential nuclear response by Moscow to even a conventional attack by any nation supported by a nuclear power. A Telegram channel affiliated with the Ukrainian military posted a video Tuesday that it says shows U.S.-supplied ATACMS missiles being fired from an undisclosed location in Ukraine.
