Living Proof announced a new sustainable recycling program for its hair care packaging in Canada

Hair care brand Living Proof (which is part-owned by Jennifer Aniston) announced an impressive new recycling initiative in Canada this week. Moving forward, customers have two ways to recycle their empty products via dedicated program pages on the brand’s website in partnership with TerraCycle. Both options include free shipping labels for you to send the items to TerraCycle to be recycled. For every package sent to TerraCycle, customers can earn points which can then be redeemed for charitable gifts or converted to cash donations for a non-profit, school or organization of your choice. “Living Proof is committed to solving the toughest beauty challenges with safe, cruelty-free innovations that don’t compromise our planet, and partnering with TerraCycle has helped us further development this commitment,” Sarah Mountcastle Mitchell, the brand’s brand marketing manager said in a release.

Live Clean launched a new innovative dry mist shampoo

Canadian natural hair care brand Live Clean expanded its portfolio this week with the introduction of a brand new Dry Mist Shampoo. Made from plant and naturally derived ingredients (including witch hazel, nettle and arrowroot), it has been formulated without the harsh chemicals often found in other formulations and is available in four fresh scents. Dry shampoo, though wildly popular, can be damaging to our hair and the environment but Live Clean’s new safe formula – which is suitable for all hair types – ensures your tresses are taken of with no risk to the world around you. Plus, the dry mist shampoo is air-powered meaning it is powered by oxygen versus propellants. The collection is now available at Shopper’s Drug Mart, Jean Coutu, Uniprix, Familiprix and Well.ca.

A Canadian tattoo shop released a ‘Speaking Moistly’ lip balm in honour of Justin Trudeau

PM Justin Trudeau has been the subject of many a meme of late. Besides his casual hair flick, the most prominent meme is undoubtedly the one based on when the PM said masks would stop people from “speaking moistly.” The regret at his use of the words was evident immediately but now local Canadian tattoo parlour Painted People Tattoo Co. has turned his words into an actual lip balm. The ‘Speaking Moistly’ lip balm is made using mostly locally-sourced ingredients, including raw local Canadian beeswax, with no articifical fragrances or flavours. $2 from every lip balm sold will be donated to the North York Harvest Food Bank, too, so you’ll get a piece of history for a very good cause.
