Izzy Zero Waste Beauty

Izzy Zero Waste Beauty has committed to avoid certain ingredients to lower its environmental impact, including parabens, phthalates, other petrochemical-based ingredients, and PFAS. While it has these ingredient commitments, it appears to still use a few ingredients that pose a significant threat to the climate, including microplastics, other petrochemical-based ingredients, and uncertified palm oil-derived ingredients.
