Published purpose

As an Indigenous beauty brand, we feel compelled to move to more sustainable products. Indigenous people are the founders of sustainability and Cheekbone Beauty is using pre-industrial wisdom to build a new beauty brand. Develop contour/foundation sticks and then further use our findings to develop more products based on the model of sustainability. We are using agricultural waste or plant-based by-products as the main ingredient in the cosmetics product, based on a circular economy and using less petroleum-based ingredients in cosmetics meeting consumer demand for plant-based ingredients. We are also using packaging that will use less plastic; raw ingredients that are sustainable will be housed in packaging that will biodegrade or compost.
