Green beauty has exploded in popularity over the last few years—sales of certified organic and natural beauty products hit £86.3 million in the UK alone last year—so it’s no surprise that Hong Kong’s eco-beauty scene has started to pick up the pace too. Whether you’re looking for organic, natural, vegan, eco-friendly or cruelty-free cosmetics, here are some of Hong Kong’s best green beauty boutiques and the signature brands they carry.
