Shop Local Skincare Products
The beauty industry is huge and there are countless skincare brands to choose from. From global corporations to small indie brands, we are spoilt for choice.
However, supporting locally made products has a number of benefits. It’s important to consider the most local option for a few reasons.
Quality ingredients
Small skincare brands often use high-quality ingredients in their products. They are passionate about their products and are willing to go the extra mile to ensure that they are using the best ingredients possible. Many small brands will use natural and organic ingredients that are not only better for your skin but are also better for the environment
Unique formulas
Local skincare products are more likely to have unique and innovative formulas. They are not bound by corporate policies or the need to cater to the masses. They are able to experiment with different ingredients and create products that are truly unique. By supporting a small brand, you are more likely to discover products that you wouldn't find at a larger company.
Better service
Local brands often have a more personal touch when it comes to customer service. They are passionate about their products and work hard to improve them, even if it doesn’t affect their bottom dollar. They are likely to be able to answer in depth any questions you might have about the product. They are also more likely to take feedback and suggestions from customers and use it to improve their products.
Supporting small businesses and your own local economy
By supporting a small skincare brand, you are supporting a small business. This is especially important in today's economy where many small businesses are struggling to stay afloat. When you purchase from a small brand, you are not only getting a better product, but you are also contributing to the growth of a small business AND your local economy.

It's more ethical and likely to align with your values
Many smaller skincare brands are committed to ethical practices. They may use sustainable packaging or donate a portion of their profits to charitable causes. When you support a small brand, you are supporting a company that has values that align with your own.
Supporting a small skincare brand over a big company has many benefits. You are more likely to get high-quality products with unique formulas, personalized customer service, and support a small business that is committed to ethical practices.
So next time you are in the market for new skincare products, consider giving a small brand a chance. Not only will you be doing your skin a favor, but you will also be supporting a great cause.
