We shared our journeys into conscious beauty, and how we adapted our practices and wider life philosophies to our work and eventually came together to create this platform. We also shared our vision for CBU going forward, which is to create a supportive community of beauty professionals seeking to make their work more sustainable by sharing information, education and experience. We discussed the 4 pillars that govern us: Education, Sustainability, Ethics + Health + Wellbeing.  In the last part of the webinar we were able to answer questions from participants and also got some feedback as to how we can bring the CBU vision to life while meeting the needs of our future members.

Testimonials

I found the webinar very helpful. I'm in the process of making my kit more green/clean/conscious, having a trusted resources by created by other make up artists is very useful. I really like the articles you have so far on the site, so more of that would be useful. Working out which products are good from online Isn’t easy, so any resources with recommendations of brands and products you’ve tried a love would be good. I would definitely be interested in joining the union once it's created, I look forward to seeing what this will entail.
