This study examined sustainability innovation practices in the green cosmetics sector from a brand perspective, focusing on how companies integrate sustainable packaging, ingredient sourcing, and microplastic-free formulations. The analysis found that leading green cosmetic brands are adopting holistic sustainability strategies beyond just product formulation changes.
Microplastics in Cosmetics: Open Questions and Sustainable Opportunities
This review examines the role of microplastics in cosmetic products and the industry's transition toward sustainable alternatives as regulations tighten worldwide. Researchers surveyed the properties that make plastic particles useful in cosmetics, such as texture and appearance enhancement, alongside their environmental drawbacks. The study provides an overview of emerging bio-based and biodegradable replacement materials that could help the personal care industry eliminate microplastics from formulations.
An integrated approach to address the biodegradability of cosmetic formulations as part of a corporate sustainability strategy
Not relevant to microplastics — this paper describes a corporate sustainability framework for evaluating and improving the biodegradability of cosmetic product portfolios, helping companies prioritize reformulation of high-impact products and ingredients.
Innovative Approaches to an Eco-Friendly Cosmetic Industry: A Review of Sustainable Ingredients
This review examines sustainable alternatives to conventional cosmetic ingredients, including plant-based, microbial, and recycled materials that could replace synthetic and potentially harmful components. While not directly about microplastics, cosmetic microbeads have been a significant source of microplastic pollution, and the push for eco-friendly ingredients helps reduce plastic particles entering waterways. The shift toward sustainable cosmetics is part of broader efforts to decrease human exposure to synthetic microparticles.
Current research trends on cosmetic microplastic pollution and its impacts on the ecosystem: A review
This review examines the presence of microplastics in personal care, cosmetics, and cleaning products and their environmental impact. Researchers assessed the fate, degradation mechanisms, and routes through which cosmetic microplastics enter the environment. The study also discusses emerging technologies for removing cosmetic microplastics and highlights the need for sustainable alternatives to reduce this domestic source of pollution.
Estratégias de produção mais limpa aplicadas à uma indústria de cosméticos
Despite its title referencing cleaner production strategies in cosmetics manufacturing, this paper is written in Portuguese and examines environmental efficiency improvements in a small Brazilian hair conditioner factory — not microplastic pollution. It proposes process modifications to reduce waste and emissions and is not directly relevant to microplastics or human health.
Microplásticos: Uso Na Indústria Cosmética E Impactos No Ambiente Aquático
This review examined the use of microplastics in the cosmetic industry and their subsequent impacts on the aquatic environment, finding that primary microplastics intentionally added to cosmetic products are a significant source of water contamination.
The future of baby cosmetics packaging and sustainable development: A look at sustainable materials and packaging innovations – A systematic review
This systematic review summarizes research on sustainable packaging alternatives for baby cosmetics, aiming to reduce plastic waste and pollution. The findings are relevant to families concerned about microplastics because conventional plastic packaging contributes to the microplastic contamination found in household dust and the broader environment.
Circular Economy Implemented in a Cosmetic Company: a Case Study
This case study examined the implementation of circular economy principles in a cosmetic company, analyzing how reducing waste and maximizing material reuse can benefit both environmental and business performance. The cosmetics industry is a significant user of plastic packaging and a source of primary microplastics through products like microbeads.
Sustainability Schemes in the Cosmetic Industry: Scope, Credibility, and Value Chain Coverage
Despite its title referencing sustainability schemes in cosmetics, this paper studies the credibility and coverage of 24 eco-certification labels used in the cosmetics industry — not microplastic pollution. It examines gaps in lifecycle coverage and greenwashing risks within certification schemes and is not relevant to microplastics or human health.
Plastics and Microplastic in the Cosmetic Industry: Aggregating Sustainable Actions Aimed at Alignment and Interaction with UN Sustainable Development Goals
This review examined how the cosmetics industry uses microplastics and petroleum-derived polymers in product formulations and packaging, and assessed industry efforts to align with UN Sustainable Development Goals. Regulatory pressure and bioeconomy policies are accelerating substitution of synthetic microplastics with bio-based alternatives.
Trends in the Manufacture and Design of Sustainable Cosmetics
This review examines emerging trends in sustainable cosmetics manufacturing, covering the adoption of natural ingredients, eco-friendly packaging, reduced environmental footprints, and pro-environmental consumer behavior driving the shift toward sustainable beauty product design.
Polymers and the eco-design transformation. A cosmetic perspective
This review examines the role of polymers in cosmetic products and strategies for eco-design transformation, analyzing the development of environmentally friendly polymer alternatives that maintain cosmetic performance and safety while reducing microplastic pollution, with attention to biodegradability, renewable sourcing, and regulatory requirements across the product lifecycle.
Research on the Performance of Cosmetics Packaging Materials under the Background of Green Transformation
Researchers systematically analyzed cosmetics packaging materials from three dimensions — material properties, production processes, and recycling pathways — in the context of the global green transformation push. The study identified performance optimization strategies for sustainable cosmetic packaging, highlighting trade-offs between sensory appeal and environmental responsibility.
Microplastics (MPs) in Cosmetics: A Review on Their Presence in Personal-Care, Cosmetic, and Cleaning Products (PCCPs) and Sustainable Alternatives from Biobased and Biodegradable Polymers
This review documents how microplastics are widely used in personal care products, cosmetics, and cleaning supplies as exfoliants, film formers, and texture enhancers.
