MOB takes a sustainable approach for their packaging: 5 best sustainable beauty products explored

Sustainable beauty is a movement that has transpired in the beauty industry and has been gaining traction with multiple brands joining the environmentally-conscious bandwagon.

MOB Beauty, a brand dedicated to "doing beauty better', has launched new biodegradable packaging that doesn't last for a period more than it is intended to. Co-founder of MOB Beauty and former chief chemist at MAC, Victor Casale has created this packaging after three years of research.

The environmentally conscious brand's refills are made with 100% PP or PET, and with 50-100% post-consumer recycled material.

This biodegradable packaging can be recycled or discarded after use and it will turn to dirt since it is made from mono-material fiber pulps. All of MOB's products from their lipsticks to mascara will be available in this updated sustainable packaging.
