Brand of the Month: Evolve Beauty
About Evolve
Having launched in 2009, Evolve was inspired by founder Laura's own healthy living journey and her belief that companies should do good as well as doing well. Evolve has been designed (like Mint Green) to make it easy for people to take small steps towards being healthier and greener in their everyday lives. Laura always found natural and organic food and beauty products to be beneficial for her own journey towards better skin.
Evolve make all of their own products, meaning they know exactly what is in them; why each ingredient is included and its origin. A large number of skincare brands outsource production to industrial factories, but by making themselves Evolve are able to innovate and avoid toxic standard practices (like cheap chemical fillers or adding tiny ineffective amounts of active ingredients).
The inspiration and influence of nature
Nature is the source of Evolve's inspiration. Not just using natural ingredients, but the genius of nature. Many of the active ingredients were developed by another living organism (thank you flowers, kelps, roots and nuts) to help their own cells thrive and prosper in some of the harshest conditions in the world. So, whenever Evolve are searching for a new ingredient that can help with hydration, nutrition, protection, strengthening, elasticity or anything else, their first question is always ‘what would nature do?’
Also, nothing in nature is wasted, every element has a built in a recycling scheme, from the packaging (the shell of a seed) becoming next year’s healthy soil mulch, through to a key ingredient (a fallen leaf) becoming nourishment for an earthworm. Evolve are on a journey to create the maximum amount of enjoyment and pleasure with no performance compromise from their products alongside using the minimum amount of resources possible.
Evolve Packaging and Sustainability
Evolve cardboard cartons are made using 40% grass fibres, making them compostable at home as well as recycling bin friendly.
