Big Corporations Are Destroying Our Earth.
I don't support brands that are owned by big international corporations. These corporations oppose real action to stop climate change, are guilty of human rights abuses and stand with the status quo. They often try to hide behind the brands that they acquire to continue profiting when people start boycotting their awful practices. Together these parent companies own over 500 Beauty Brands. In this blogpost I try to simply help you sort out what brands are owned by what corporation to know what to avoid.
I'm not here to shame anyone for what they buy, I want to empower you to make informed choices. Honestly there are several brands here that I have bought from that I was sad to hear we're acquired by or had always been owned by one of these big corporations. Maybe you want to boycott brands owned by some of them but not all, it's really up to you!
