Codex Beauty Labs, the plant-based biotech skincare solutions company, is joining the fight for climate change and cleaner air for all with the release of its Air Day Everyday Set, launching in honor of International Day of Clean Air for blue skies on September 7.
The UN states that air pollution is the biggest environmental risk to human health, “with some estimated 6.5 million premature deaths (2016) across the world attributed to indoor and outdoor air pollution.” In addition, the UN stated that “time is running out for millions of people losing their lives, homes and livelihoods to climate change.”
Codex Beauty Labs, which consistently puts sustainability and consumer safety at the forefront of all product development, manufacturing, and sourcing, created the Air Day Everyday Set to combat the twofold impact of greenhouse gases and air pollution on skin health and the environment.
The set contains low-waste, skin barrier-supporting products, such as the Antü Refreshing Gel Cleanser (to protect skin by removing particulate-matter caused by pollution), the upcycled Air Soap (with zero-plastic packaging to minimize burning of plastic that contaminates air) and the biodegradable, cleansing Konjac Sponge.
Codex Beauty Labs will donate 100% of the Air Day Everyday Set’s sales generated on September 7and 15% of sales thereafter to the Clean Air Task Force, a non-profit organization that advocates for a zero-emissions, high-energy planet at an affordable cost through policy change and technology innovation.
“The Clean Air Task Force drives technology innovation, policy change, and thought leadership initiatives aimed at reducing carbon and pollution emissions around the globe in a very short time – because we only have a few decades before we hit the tipping point of climate change,” says Barbara Paldus, Founder of Codex Beauty Labs. “At Codex Beauty Labs, we stand aligned with CATF in the urgency to prevent catastrophic climate change and air pollution through realistic solutions.”
Retailing for €50, the Codex Beauty Labs Air Day Everyday Set includes:
Antü Refreshing Gel Cleanser (125 ml / 4.2 fl. oz.)
This gentle, reinvigorating gel cleanser preserves the skin barrier and helps remove particulate matter pollutants. Containing the proprietary, potent, and inflammation-reducing M3™formula (a blend of extractions from Patagonian Maqui, Matico and Murtilla), as well as Quillay to clean and maintain moisture balance and Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate to protect the skin from drying and retain moisture, this refreshing gel cleanser is clinically proven to smooth, protect and balance (reduce oiliness). Antü Refreshing Gel Cleanser is designed for all skin types and is especially great for dull, flaky, or greasy skin.
In self-assessments during clinical trials, users reported the following after using the Antü Refreshing Gel Cleanser:
- 100% agree it cleanses gently
- 91% agree it cleanses effectively and leaves skin smoother
- 85% agree it rinses off easily, while leaving skin more soft and supple.
Air Soap (120 g / 4.2 US OZ)
An energizing, skin softening soap bar that contains upcycled soap cuttings from the production of other Bia soaps to minimize waste and maintain sustainability, while the zero plastic packaging minimizes the burning of plastic that contaminates air. Ingredients include Shea Butter to gently clean without stripping moisture, French pink clay to clean impurities and remove dead skin cells, and Kaolin clay to deeply cleanse, gently exfoliate, and balance oily skin. The bright blend of Lime, Palmarosa, Ylang Ylang and Clary Sage will further invigorate the senses.
Konjac Sponge (5.3 g)
This 100% natural and biodegradable sponge is a natural mixture of Konjac vegetable fiber and spring water that can exfoliate, cleanse, and leave skin radiant and rejuvenated.
