Finding an effective routine is the tireless search of the moment, and it is that, in the era of no makeup, a smooth, luminous and blemish-free complexion is what most of their creams ask for, neither more nor less. Added to this optimal performance is the philosophy of sustainable living that prevails in the 21st century, an environmental awareness that includes beauty rituals and that asks its formulas to achieve the corresponding clean seal. In response to these beauty prayers, brands such as the Polish Dr Irena Eris, the French Nuxe, the British Pai Skincare or the Spanish Cocunat, show that concern for sustainability is a worldwide crusade.
