The B-Corp beauty brands to know
Wondering which brands do good while making you feel good?
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.

The brand has been bringing the therapeutic powers (and delicious smells) of aromatherapy to our homes for the last 30 years and work to the highest standards, with pure quality, sustainability and purpose at the heart of their ethos.

Elemis
One of the most famed household names in beauty, Elemis has consistently created innovative formulas that genuinely work.
