The Saskatoon cosmetic shop at 3501 8th St E offers brands that use natural ingredients and source those ingredients sustainably.
“The beauty industry is a huge industry — whether you’re just a shampoo and soap kind of person, or you use a dozen beauty products, we all consume these products every single day,” Cardinal-Schultz said. “So this is a place where we need to make change — and we can make change.”We deliver the local news you need in these turbulent times on weekdays at 3 p.m.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.
“I was in this environment at Alchemy where I was learning so much about sustainable fashion from Melissa,” Cardinal-Schultz said. “The more I learned, I just couldn’t ignore that there were a lot of sustainable issues in the beauty industry as well.”Article content “At Green Tree Beauty, we believe in being kind to ourselves and those around us,” she said. “We believe in conscious beauty, which means being aware of where your products came from, what went into it and the effect it will have on you, the planet and the future of our planet.”Photo by Michelle BergIn practice, this mandate takes on many forms, but Cardinal-Schultz notes that she tends to focus on three key sustainability issues.
“If the ingredients are causing harm to the environment or ruining an animal’s home, that’s a sustainability issue,” she said. “The contents of the product matter too. Is there anything in the product that would hurt the environment? Like if is flushed down the drain, will it end up polluting the water, for example. Cruelty-free is huge for us too — none of the brands we offer test on animals, and there’s no compromise on that one.
“Everybody has a box of stuff at home hidden away under their sink of things that just weren’t right for them — wrong smell, wrong colour, whatever. So we encourage everyone to take a sample of something before they buy it. If we can get people trying things before they buy them, it’s better for the environment,” she said.Article content
