Moving Beyond Green
Be a Part of
The Movement
Inspired by many of the brands and founders we partner with looking to make a positive impact on the environment through their beauty, wellness and lifestyle companies, we launched the Blue Beauty movement.
Moving beyond green beauty means that above and beyond finding ways to wholeheartedly embrace organic and plant-based beauty and minimize our impact on the environment, Blue Beauty brands are finding ways to regenerate, improve and repair it in ways big and small.
Blue Beauty is a global movement, started by our Founder Jeannie Jarnot in 2018 to celebrate beauty brands striving to make the planet better and the conscious consumers and early supporters of the companies paving the way.
