Clean skincare brand Balance Me is now an official B Corporation.
Per its mission, the female-founded brand seeks to balance people, planet and profit. It champions women, making them feel empowered and encourages their community to join their beauty panel to test products ahead of time. Sustainability is also at the core of Balance Me. Ninety-six percent of packaging is recyclable, renewable, contains recycled materials and/or is reusable; 50% of tubes contain PCR; outer card packaging is FSC certified; and 99.98% of ingredients are naturally occurring, derived from nature or are nature identical. Charity partnerships are also important to the brand. The brand’s 2023 charity partner is The Hygiene Bank. The brand is donating 20% of its profit to charity this year.
The B Corporation certification evinces Balance Me’s commitment to balancing people, planet and profit. They are now part of a wider global movement that is committed to making business a force for good, according to the brand.
“We are immensely proud to announce that we are an official B Corporation! When we first started Balance Me, we wanted to create a brand that helped women feel good about their skin using the best blend of natural ingredients we could find to achieve that,” said Clare & Rebecca Hopkins, sister cofounders. “However, what has also been at the heart of everything we do, is ensuring we’re responsible.”
