The mainstream cosmetic industry can be trashy, literally.
We catch them churning out difficult or impossible to recycle containers that hit the landfill by the millions every single day around the world. Mainstream 'beauty and personal care products’ are also brimming with harmful and not so good chemicals and synthetics. For the things that supposedly enhance our natural beauty, there’s ironically nothing natural about the old way of personal care.
Thankfully portia-ella is here as your alternative to the mainstream industry trends. We host the largest selection of sustainable, low, and zero waste beauty brands hitting the market paired with brand recycling programs.
So in the spirit of changing the world to encompass more sustainable, low, and zero waste products, we’ve compiled a list of top-selling personal care brands.
