Impactfully No. 27: Clean beauty
This week, a beauty company ups the ante on personal care, fashion resolves to stand the test of time, and plastics get super squeaky clean to support reuse.
If you've ever bought a personal care product and looked at the ingredients, you might feel like you need a chemistry degree to decode it. It turns out that Europe is far more restrictive than the United States when it comes to ingredients in personal-care products, and our leading employer this week is resolving to change that. We think they're a great example of how social impact can align business development with stakeholder capitalism that balances people, planet, and profit.
They're not alone either! Here are this week's social impact job opportunities:
Beautycounter is a beauty brand on a mission to get safer products into the hands of everyone. It's one thing to make your products safer, but Beautycounter has a distinct activist bent that sets them apart – they are working to change the laws around personal-care products to make them healthier across the industry.

PureCycle helps turn the polypropylene you recycle into reusable plastic. Some of the barriers to reusing these types of plastics are the color, odor, and performance – PureCycle purifies the plastic so it can be used in more applications, helping it become a resource that can be used over and over again.
P.S. Closed Loop Partners invested in them! Good people tend to find other good people.
