ABOUT SK*P (Simply be Kind to our Planet)
sk*p is a clean hair and body care brand on a mission to break the beauty industry’s addiction to plastic. Packaged in a 100% recyclable (and sturdy!) paper-based BeautyCarton™ — with microbiome-balancing ingredients on the inside — sk*p was inspired by the generation it was created for, a generation that’s into self-care, but eco-aware. The brand is committed to cultivating and supporting young change-makers through a variety of programs including the industry’s first all youth board of directors and a climate literacy campaign with the Earth Day Network.
