Although the beauty and personal care sector is worth billions of dollars, what is the cost to the environment? Chemical-filled skin care and shampoo products have become a mainstay in our everyday lives, but the reality of their effects on the environment is frequently ignored. Commercial shampoos and skin care products can impact animals, water systems, air pollution, and more during manufacturing and waste management. Commercial shampoo, hair care, and skincare products are made using a lot of potentially dangerous chemicals, a lot of energy, and a lot of water. These manufacturing techniques may result in soil contamination, as well as air and water pollution. A good illustration is the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air during the manufacture of synthetic perfumes, which are often used in personal care items and cause air pollution. A significant quantity of water can also be used in the production process, which can cause water shortages, the depletion of valuable water supplies, and greater demand for sewage and water treatment facilities, which in turn require more chemicals to handle the chemicals in the water. It is a destructive circle. Additionally, the disposal of waste produced during the production process can harm the environment due to the possibility of harmful compounds leaking into soil and water systems and significantly polluting the air through the emission of VOCs and airborne pollutants.
