As Chanel launches its first sustainable beauty range, Laura Hampson explores what other legacy brands are doing to help the environment
Chanel has officially launched its first sustainable beauty range, No.1 de Chanel.
The French fashion house’s new collection has been created with a circular focus in mind, with the brand claiming every aspect of the production process is eco-friendly. Natural ingredients make up 97 per cent of the formulations and 80 per cent of the packaging is made from recyclable glass.
