The B-Corp beauty brands to know

When it comes to beauty brands (and fashion brands, for that matter), there’s something to be said for the businesses that are committed to positively benefiting people('s faces) and the planet.

It is these brands that are awarded the mighty B-Corp certification, meeting the high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability – so you can rest assured that you’re spending your hard-earned money on a brand that’s really putting in the work.

Read on to see which six B Corp certified beauty brands we're proud to support at John Lewis.
