What is Blue Beauty?
Blue Beauty is a sustainable beauty movement in an effort to reduce negative impacts of chemicals and plastic on ocean life. It's about cleaning up our oceans by using reef and ocean safe ingredients, avoiding any chemicals that are harmful to our ocean life and the environment, adopting a zero-waste packaging policy, and/or avoiding the use of plastic in packaging entirely and offering refillable and reusable options.
Why Does Blue Beauty Matters?
Blue Beauty is just as important as any other environmental cause because it’s about protecting our planet. 90M tons of plastic end up in our ocean each year because only 9% of plastic waste is recycled, and the beauty industry is a big contributor to that, and a lot of it has to do with excess use of plastic in packaging.
When we wash our bodies each day, the products we use will all be washed down the drain with the water. Water waste treatment plants do not break down all the ingredients in beauty products and some then make their way to marine environments. Some of these ingredients cannot break down in aquatic environments causing aquatic toxicity, harming marine life and the ecosystem balance.
SAVE OUR OCEANS
The beauty industry has a major (and frightening) impact on the environment . . .
Marine environment in particular.
We are creating plant-based alternatives to marine derived ingredients, multi-use products, recycled, recyclable and reusable packaging all to work towards a bluer future.
Minimizing Water Waste.
FACT: 70% of the world is covered by water, yet only 2.5% of it is fresh and only 1% of it is easily accessible for human use.
The beauty industry’s demand for water is huge, and in a lot of products, it is the most-used ingredient! All of our haircare reduces water waste by rinsing out in seconds.
When we shower, the products we use are washed down the drain, however, water waste treatment plants cannot break down all of these ingredients, which is how some make their way to marine environments.
All of our products are formulated with reef-safe ingredients with complete transparency and are 100 percent biodegradable.
The ocean has always been my sanctuary. Growing up near the Great Barrier Reef, I witnessed firsthand the beauty and fragility of our marine environments. This passion drives everything we do at Jill Turnbull Beauty.

Our products are produced and packaged to coexist harmoniously with our pledge to sustainable beauty and are BPA-free, recycled, recyclable and reusable after use.
Each bottle, jar and tube is made of most recyclable form of plastic PET, designed to last for up to 2 years allowing for multiple refills. As we know glass is not safe to be used in the shower, so thats why we offer resilient packaging and encourage refilling it once empty. We work hard to ensure these materials are directly tied to upcycling efforts to reduce plastic waste. We skipped out on outer cardboard boxes and every piece of printed material, including the box your products arrive in, are produced from recycled materials.
It's important that we continue to learn and be inspired from biomimicry, when we choose to mimic nature's solutions we will be able to solve some of our world's most constraining problems, from reducing carbon emissions to saving water.
Taking inspiration from biomimicry, our products are not only good for you to use, they are good for the planet.
