Face creams

by Nandini S + India Sutra 04 Aug 2021

Living in a relatively cold and dry environment, I have always struggled with dry skin, and I have spent years trying to find the right moisturizer for my skin. A moisturizer isn’t just something we use to keep our skin soft and supple. It's important to buy moisturizing face cream that will protect your skin from environmental damage and keep the moisture locked in, which lessens the appearance of wrinkles and age spots.

If you are looking for clean, natural, and even organic solutions for everyday issues, you have come to the right place. The brands we recommend are formulated with good, nourishing, and clean ingredients which are rich in antioxidants, vitamins without sulfates and dirty preservatives.

Made with sustainably sourced ingredients that work to relieve any sort of redness or dryness, other harsh products may carry. All ingredients have been responsibly sourced with an eco-safe footprint. As a conscious consumer, you need to check all brands and products to see if they are truly what they claim to be.

Unfortunately, trending hashtags are just that. And greenwashing is commonplace with most brands. All products we recommend are formulated without dirty ingredients, artificial fragrances, or irritants. Just with clean goodness.

Here’s a quick link to commonplace dirty ingredients you will find in 7 out of 10 products you use daily. You will be amazed at some of the brands you use and love. https://www.zoobop.com/no-list.aspx

With the rise in popularity of beauty products, it proved hard to spot those that were truly good, clean, and safe for you and the planet.. Especially when it comes to products for your face.

PRO TIP: as a conscious user take advantage of the BOP TOOL. This has been designed especially for you. Bop any brand on zoobop.com and check its clean or dirty score before you buy it.

Zoobop scores brand on their formulations (type of ingredients used across all SKUs), environment policies, their clean footprint, packaging policies, labeling transparency, cruelty free practices, recycling policies so that you know exactly how good and clean your brand is.

Bopping is a great tool for looking behind all the greenwashing that brands usually do. Bopping is as easy and fun as it sounds. Trust me and super addictive too! All you need to do is type in your brand name and hit bop. And voila all the dirt (hehe) on the brand comes up. The good, the bad, and the ugly side of brands. You get a clean or a dirty score which is on a scale of 0-5, the higher the score the better and cleaner the brand and its footprint.
