Brand Spotlight Series Featuring: *Ursa Major* A Skincare Routine
Ursa Major is a superior clean beauty brand out of the mountains of Vermont. Since 2010, this husband and wife team have continually improved their formulations to adhere to the emerging science on ingredient safety. At their core, their skincare products have always held to a method of less-is-more. Because of this balanced approach, Ursa Major is now leading the way. Their plant-based formulations are effective and appealing to all genders and skin types.
The brand also prioritizes sustainability. They are a B Certified Corporation, which means they are committed to continual improvement. Ursa Major goes above and beyond by being Certified Plastic Negative. This entails a pledge to offset their impact by removing two plastic bottles from the environment for every one they produce. They are also regularly improving their product packaging. In doing so, they are initiating a crossover to glass, recycled, and recyclable packaging. Finally, Ursa Major sources and manufactures in the USA. This has a strong aftereffect on the reduction of their carbon footprint.
