Your Questions About Green Living

Sharon asks…

Are eco-friendly products better for your skin than non?

The Expert answers:

I think so as natural eco-friendly products tend to be much more simpler formulations and don’t complicate things. Simple, fuss-free, gentle and effective products. I love liz earle products, they are completely natural, dont test on animals and friendly to the enviroment. They use high quality, safe, naturally active ingredients.

Eco-friendly products tend to use potent, premium natural-source vitamin e, never the synthetic variety which means they are far better for your skin. Also natural skin care products normally have none of their ingredients of animal origin (except beeswax, propolis and manuka honey). Which means no nasty animal fat and other products that if you really thought about would never put on your skin again.

Eco-friendly cosmetics also tend to contain:
-organic ingredients
-no chemical sunscreens
-no mineral oils (only plant oils)
-no genetically engineered ingredients
– no un-necessary preservatives

hope this helps

Product Design Student – How to make everyday products eco friendly?

hi there,

My brief is very open this time and was just wondering if people could tell me what products they use everyday just some suggestions

Choose a product that consumes significant resources to produce and or distribute and use design to reduce or elimate its negative impact. Either design the prduct differently or design a way for people to do without it for example : a product that comnines several functions and eliminates the need for other products,a design that elimnates the need for light, energy, water, a product that elimunates the need for packaging.

Jenny asks…

Eco friendly products will they sell?

I want to sell fashionable bags, purse and hats made from natural fibre but I do not know if I could sell them. There are too many shops selling these items but my only unique selling point is they are made from fibre which is environmental friendly compared to bags made from synthetic leather. Do you think there is market for this. Any input is much appreciated.

The Expert answers:

Good Luck!!
