Wellness brands are getting in on the sustainability movement.





In 2017, Unilever released a report revealing that a third of its consumers preferred sustainable brands. In Unilever’s case, the data also showed that its owned brands that had integrated sustainability into their products and purposes were driving nearly half of the company’s global growth.





“This research confirms that sustainability isn’t a nice-to-have for businesses. In fact, it has become imperative. To succeed globally … brands should go beyond traditional focus areas like product performance and affordability,” Keith Weed, Unilever’s chief marketing and communications officer, said in the report. “Instead, [companies] must act quickly to prove their social and environmental credentials and show consumers they can be trusted with the future of the planet and communities.”





As the wellness and sustainability landscapes have evolved, so have consumers’ demands. According to a September 2022 article from McKinsey & Company, wellness is a growing priority for consumers and investors. In 2020, the health and wellness market size worldwide was estimated to be over $4.3 trillion, and by 2025, Statista predicts the market value to reach nearly $7 trillion.





With the wellness market growing at an unprecedented rate, industry trends are quickly transforming, as well. What was once considered sustainable wellness is now dubbed “eco-wellness,” described as “a sense of appreciation, respect and awe of nature that can contribute to holistic wellness.” And the demand for eco-conscious wellness brands, from brands using organic ingredients to brands contributing to environmental causes, is at a high.





Below is a handful of eco-friendly wellness brands worth supporting this Earth Month.





Kloris
