How tbh Skincare is achieving a carbon positive footprint

More than ever before, consumers are not only interested in a brand’s product – they’re interested in a brand’s processes, and this rings true to the beauty industry. 

Sustainability has adopted a primary focus for both new brands and old brands alike and one such brand making positive headway is revolutionary acne brand, tbh Skincare – forming a carbon positive footprint since joining Impact International’s Sustainable Forest Program. 

tbh Skincare’s carbon positive footprint is the initiative of Impact International, a leading manufacturer of squeeze tubes, to offset its carbon emissions of the tubes it manufacturers through its own infrastructure, i.e. its own forest – a world first.

By operating its own agroforestry Pinus radiata plantation of 20,000 trees while also having approximately 1,300 native trees, Impact International has been able to assist with wildlife protection and rehabilitation, as well as carbon offset initiatives for brands like tbh Skincare.

Further to Impact International’s Sustainable Forest Program, the company has a large solar farm so that it can generate its own energy. Additionally, its product tubes (including those that house a selection of tbh Skincare’s products in) are manufactured using sugar cane plastic, a renewable resource to help tackle Australia’s recycling crisis.

Research reveals how a three-step skincare routine can reduce stress

According to research by beloved skincare brand, Rodan + Fields, a simple three-step skincare routine can reduce stress.

A study was published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology and was carried out by a team of experts, including Rodan + Fields' brand founders, Katie Rodan MD and Kathy Fields MD, who studied 30-acne prone women, aged 18 to 45.

During eight weeks, the women adhered to a three-step skincare routine twice a day that included antioxidants, electrolytes, prebiotics and a sunscreen. Saliva samples, along with clinical grading and TEWL measurements, were taken at baseline and at week eight to measure results. Subjects also completed a questionnaire regarding their skin quality at the beginning and end of the eight weeks.

The results that stood out to the research team were that cortisol levels decreased from an average of 435 ng/dL at baseline to 73.3 ng/dL, which is a huge reduction in stress levels.

However, this wasn’t the only improvement the team observed. They also found the routine created a clinical improvement in a healthy glow, and 76% of the subjects felt more confident about posting a selfie at the end of the study, compared to 53% at the beginning. The women also noted their skin looked “less stressed and less reactive,” and revealed they felt more in control of how their skin looked.
