Phlur
Conscious beauty shopping isnt limited to picking out skincare or makeup crafted with sustainable practices and ingredients. Shoppers are looking at their routines holistically and are also paying attention to the components in their daily (or special occasion) scents.
Brands are becoming more intentional about ingredients and practices used to produce fragrances without compromising wearability and longevity. If youve been in the market for a scent that checks off important boxes (like cruelty-free, vegan, or sustainably sourced), weve rounded up some of our favorite brands ahead.

Ameline
