Due to the recent strengthening of environmental regulations such as the introduction of a carbon border tax in the European Union, many global cosmetic companies have announced their commitment to attaching a carbon footprint to their products and expanding the use of eco-friendly materials by 2030.
Recently, Cosmogen, a French cosmetics company, launched sponge products made of bio-based polyurethane, a material made from corn, cassava, sugarcane juice, castor oil and plant pigments.
This bio-based polyurethane sponge material can be made into a powder puff for make-up and a sponge for washing your face.
