Creating Sustainable Beauty: a look inside the mind of M.Y.O. founder Suzanne Carter
It's a genuine pleasure to have this conversation with Suzanne Carter, founder and creator of M.Y.O. THis brand has been a staple in my professional kit for years, and the M.Y.O. Pro Travel Makeup Case is my go-to on every production. Let me be clear, this enthusiasm is all my own—no sponsorship here. I'm simply a fan of M.Y.O., and even more so of Suzanne's dedication to sustainability. It's a breath of fresh air in our throwaway culture. Just to put things into perspective, a staggering 120 billion units of cosmetic packaging were produced worldwide in the year M.Y.O. was born, 2018.
I'm eager to delve into M.Y.O.'s impressive roster of sustainable practices and certifications. As proud members of "1% for the Planet," They are forging connections between businesses and nonprofits for environmental protection. The commitment as a signatory of the "New Plastics Economy Global Commitment" ensures M.Y.O.’s product plastics steer clear of becoming waste or pollution. As a "Reel Green Ambassador," they’re at the forefront of promoting sustainable methods in the film industry. Additionally, M.Y.O.’s involvement with the "PACT Collective," alongside a carbon offset program and zero-emission transportation, speaks volumes about their eco-conscious approach.
The dedication to sustainability really came to light as I prepared for our talk, and I'm confident that Suzanne’s insights will resonate with industry peers who are equally keen to learn more. Watch the full interview (or listen) now on YouTube or Spotify.
Until next time!
