What Is ‘Clean + Planet Positive’ Skincare Exactly?

Published

You opt for organic when it’s available, you sort your recycling, and you walk instead of drive when you can. You’re doing your part to be more green for the greater good, but what about the beauty brands you’re buying? They tout their products as “clean” but are they really walking the walk behind closed doors?

Wonder no more: Sephora has created a new standard for their clean beauty category called Clean + Planet Positive. Products that meet the standard will have a special seal. When you see the seal, it means not only are you getting the clean ingredients you love (no parabens, sulfates SLS and SLES, phthalates, mineral oils, formaldehyde, and more) but that the brand is doing its best to be eco-conscious behind the scenes too.

According to Zero Waste Week data from 2018, more than 120 billion units of packaging are produced globally every year by the cosmetics industry, contributing to the loss of 18 million acres of forest annually.

I know what you’re thinking: Can my beauty products really make a difference when it comes to the environment? Yes! And this is exactly why it’s so important to support brands that are taking a stand to do something about it. And with incredible brands leading the charge (peep more on my fave product picks below), you can be a part of this positive change while still being able to indulge in skincare, makeup, or any other form of beauty.

Here’s exactly how brands make the cut for Sephora’s Clean + Planet Positive Seal:

  • Clean Ingredients: Clean at Sephora approved. No parabens, sulfates SLS and SLES, phthalates, mineral oils, formaldehyde, and more. See a full list of Sephora’s excluded ingredients here.
  • Climate Commitment: Brands must meet at least one of the following climate goals: Carbon-neutral operations, greenhouse gas emissions reduction, or corporate office and owned operations powered by 100% renewable energy.
  • Sustainable Sourcing: Cruelty-free, using only sustainably harvested palm oil and mica, no microplastics, and up to Sephora’s CBD standards.
  • Responsible Packaging: Must reduce, recycle, and reimagine the way they package. That means: No single-use items or unnecessary materials. Designing with recyclability in mind. Innovating with plant-based ink, biomaterials, refillable components, post=consumer recycled materials, and more.
  • Environmental Giving: Donate at least 1% of profit to a credible, long-term giving program that is multi-year and ongoing, or be a Certified B-corp.

Ready to shop? Here are a few favorites that hold the Clean + Planet Positive seal.

Jennifer Lopez Joined Ben Affleck In L.A. With Kids For Thanksgiving

Jennifer Lopez Joined Ben Affleck In L.A. With Kids For Thanksgiving


On Wednesday night, Jennifer Lopez arrived in Los Angeles with her 13-year-old twins Max and Emme. The family was likely there to join Lopez’s boyfriend, Ben Affleck, for the Thanksgiving holiday. Lopez recently returned from the much colder climate of British Columbia, Canada, where she was filming her latest project, The Mother.

J. Lo touched down in her private jet wearing a teddy fur coat from Coach’s Autumn/Winter 2019 collection, and a pair of Ugg boots. Classic airplane outfit, celebrity style. Lopez and Affleck originally dated in 2002 and broke up in 2004. Their romance was rekindled earlier this year, soon after Lopez ended her relationship with baseball player Alex Rodriguez. The new couple went official in July, while celebrating Lopez’s 52nd birthday abroad.

Affleck’s most recent relationship with Ana de Armas ended in January after about a year together. He had divorced ex-wife Jennifer Garner in 2015 after being married for almost a decade. Garner and Affleck had three daughters, Violet, Seraphina, and Sam.

Before traveling back to the U.S., Lopez posted a story to Instagram Reels about how grateful she was to be headed home.

“Hey everybody, it’s my last day here shooting on The Mother out in Smithers in the snow, it’s been beautiful, but tonight I’m on my way home,” she said, as she walked through the wild landscape in a black coat and beanie.

“I’m so excited for Thanksgiving! I hope everybody has an amazing weekend with their families and their loved ones, there’s so much to be grateful for this year. I’m on my way!”

This is the first major holiday of the year since Lopez and Affleck reunited, so it’s likely to be a big one for both families.

Everlane’s Black Friday Sale is Packed With Winter Essentials

This is not a drill: Everlane just kicked off its Black Friday sale. Now through Monday, November 29, the direct-to-consumer brand is offering 20 to 40% off its cozy sweaters, minimalist activewear, and popular jeans. If you’re not super familiar with Everlane, let me spell it out for you: this is a big deal.

The e-tailer might be known for making sustainable, ethically made clothes and accessories at a fair, affordable price, but Everlane rarely has sales beyond its Choose What You Pay section. So, if you want to stock up on cute basics for less, now’s your time to shop.

And, in true Everlane fashion, the brand is taking this opportunity to give back. Everlane is partnering with Rodale Institute and help U.S. farmers transition their farmland to regenerative organic—and donating $15 per order to the cause. A great sale that gives back? I’m sold.

But, hurry! These deals are going to sell out fast, so you won’t want to waste any time filling your e-cart.
