What Is Love Ethical Beauty?
Love Ethical Beauty was developed by three young, driven businesspeople who realised the cosmetics sector required some major changes. And so the brand was born in Birmingham, 2010, where Love Beauty’s staff packs and ships customer orders from a warehouse.

Love Ethical Beauty performs well across all three of our research areas: Environment, Animals, and People. It receives a top rating in many of our categories including Genetic Modification, Vegan, Political Donations and Armaments.
