This is the term I personally use for cosmetic development where [[Sustainability]] is the key pillar. Another term could be [[Eco-design]], but [[Sustainable Cosmetic Development]] isn't limited by ecological impact and includes social and economical sustainability as well.
**Sustainable Cosmetic Development** is about finding ways to reduce the negative impact the complete life cycle of a cosmetic product has and, simultaneously, increase the positive impact of the product, brand and/or business.
[[Sustainable Development Goals|Agenda2030]] is a combination of goals based on 3 pillars: people, planet and prosperity. Often partnership is also included. I think that is a beginning, but it needs more to be a firm foundation.
