3 Positive Luxury certified beauty brands to know

Keen to invest in sustainable beauty brands that are doing their bit to counter climate change? Look no further, as we’ve rounded up our go-to Positive Luxury certified beauty brands of 2023, who truly are doing their bit to build a better tomorrow.

Bamford

Bamford creates objects for the home and body to inspire its community to be more connected: to themselves, to others and to the natural world. The brand does so in tandem with craftspeople and communities who bring their collections to life in an ethically minded and conscious way, nurturing traditional skills and championing artisanal methods. Designing fewer collections for maximum longevity is part of its commitment to treading more lightly, holding a deep respect for the materials they work, with an emphasis on natural fibres and natural or organic ingredients.

“We see it as a strength to seek out the expertise of others and value close collaboration with like-minded advocates of sustainable living – sharing knowledge as well as passions. In 2020, Bamford was certified by Positive Luxury with the Butterfly Mark, for our commitment to social and environmental sustainability.

Having the Butterfly Mark certification by Positive luxury is a reassurance for our community that our commitments are verified. I feel enormously proud that Bamford has been recognised in this way, particularly by an organisation that is doing so much to promote and support sustainable and ethical business practice. And I’m delighted to join a community in which individuals and companies are doing such innovative and pioneering work to forge a better future for our planet,” says Founder, Carole Bamford.

S’ABLE LABS

S’ABLE Labs aims to achieve a high level of transparency and accountability in the beauty industry. Knowing what is happening in their supply chain and ensuring that things are done consciously is the brand’s priority. “We are passionate about social responsibility and our impact on the environment, which is why we have worked hard to build meaningful relationships in our supply chain with great partners who share our values and commitments to evolve.

We intentionally select partners that honour and protect biodiversity, maintaining the respect and integrity of the raw material and its origin. At S’ABLE Labs, we have a circular approach to our skincare range. Our packaging is all recyclable, made from post-consumer materials and we encourage ReuS’ABLE-ity. Refill options will soon be rolled out, designed from recycled and recyclable materials and we have ditched the unnecessary. No inner lining or secondary box will be used on our individual products. We are conscious about evolving and becoming the best versions of ourselves.

Partnering with Positive Luxury has been not just a measure of our ambition and journey but also a unique opportunity to help set a standard. The support, insight, and resources they have provided have been invaluable,” say Founders, Sabrina and Idris Elba.
