10 top sustainable and environmentally-friendly products

Taking care of the environment should be everybody’s business. According to Greenpeace, around 14 billion pounds of waste end up in our oceans every year, with most of it being plastics. After plastic decomposes it transforms into toxic microplastics which are very harmful for the environment.

We all want to contribute in some way to help protect the planet we live on, but don’t want to sacrifice the high-quality ingredients that benefit our health, wellbeing and body. There are so many eco-friendly products from ethical businesses that are tackling to solve climate change in a sustainable and friendly manner. These products can make a real difference by enabling us to reduce our environmental footprint and encourage us to take better care of the planet we live on.

Here are top 10 environmentally-friendly and ethical products we recommend.

Hemps Magic is committed to providing organic, sustainably grown, non-GMO hemp skincare and wellness products consumers can trust. All products are free from animal testing as Hemps Magic recognises it’s their planet too.

Hemp is not marijuana. Both derive from the cannabis plant, but marijuana is rich in THC and hemp is rich in CBD. These phytocannabinoids are designed to work with our bodies when consumed or applied to the skin. Importantly, CBD is a non-psychoactive compound and unlike THC it cannot get you ‘high’.

It is important for consumers to educate themselves on the many benefits CBD can offer. It is imperative consumers trust companies in this space to provide quality, sustainably certified products.
