Indigenous-owned eco-luxury skincare label Wildcraft Skincare is celebrating National Indigenous History Month by committing to donate one per cent of its annual sales to the Canadian charity 1% For The Planet. When speaking about Indigenous representation in the clean beauty space, Laura Whitaker, the Toronto-based founder of the brand, says: “Clean and green beauty is not an inclusive space, generally. While the beauty industry is finally making room for Indigenous models, influencers, and entrepreneurs, there’s still a long way to go. A handful of Indigenous representation is not enough; it’s important for people who are outside of what is typically represented to know that there’s space for them too.”
The sustainable brand’s line features the Silk Sea Sponge, which is rich in enzymes and perfect for sensitive skin, the Wash Cream Cleanser made with Mediterranean purple clay, and the aluminium-free Lavender & Sage Deodorant ​​made with magnesium, kaolin clay and antibacterial essential oils to balance pH, reduce odour causing bacteria, and absorb moisture.
Cheekbone Beauty launches unsellable lip glosses featuring contaminated water
In recognition of Indigenous History Month, Indigenous-owned Cheekbone Beauty has launched its #GlossedOver campaign, an initiative aimed at bringing pressing light to the fact that many First Nations communities in Canada still do not have access to clean drinking water. The campaign features three *unsellable* lipglosses infused with actual contaminated water — think: lead, E, coli and mercury — from local Indigenous communities. With names like “Luscious Lead,” “E.Coli Kiss,” and “Mercury Shimmer,” the lipglosses aim to raise the question, “Would you put it to your lips? Some people don’t have a choice. It’s time to stop glossing over this issue,” states the brand in a press release. The company goes on to say: “While Cheekbone Beauty recognizes it’s unacceptable to sell contaminated products to the public, it demands to know why it’s acceptable for many Indigenous communities and their access to drinking water.” In collaboration with the bold campaign, beauty mega retailer Sephora will donate all proceeds from the sale of Cheekbone Beauty products throughout the month of June to Water First, a charitable organization supporting Indigenous communities to address the water crisis.
