On Ethical Makeup Consumption

Khai Huynh and Elena Murrieta

November 21, 2023

Today, we discuss the ethical consumption of cosmetics. Despite numerous ongoing global issues, it remains crucial for us, as consumers, to understand our impact, particularly within the expansive cosmetics industry. We will discuss topics such as reducing waste production, promoting second-hand giving, supporting cruelty-free practices, and understanding how ethical consumption works during periods of boycotts.
