The charity focuses on the prevention and early detection as 90% of skin cancers are preventable. They also campaign for cultural and educational change in this area. The charity are pioneers in educational intervention and has developed and run for the past 8 years five national educational interventions accreditation schemes, that work with at risk and influential groups.
The hair and Beauty industry and wider sectors have vital role to play with skin surveillance with their clients, as they see their clients regularly and parts of their body they cannot see themselves.

About:
Plastic Free Beauty Day is back for a third year running on June 17th 2021 with a vengeance against plastic usage by the beauty industry. Founded by Yolanda Cooper of WE ARE PARADOXX, Plastic Free Beauty Day is a day dedicated to challenging the use of plastic packaging in the beauty products we buy. It is a call to take action against the overdependence on plastic by
beauty brands.
This year sees a big education drive in partnership with the British Beauty Council and Ocean Generation to inspire and inform retailers, brands, consumers and media through an engaging education-led webinar with industry experts and leaders, who have the knowledge and ability to inspire, create awareness and instigate real industry change.
A week ahead of Plastic Free Beauty Day, on Friday 11th June at 11.30am, a 30 minute webinar with 10 minute live Q&A session will be hosted by Yolanda Cooper, alongside Millie Kendall, CEO of the British Beauty Council, Daisy Kendrick – leading sustainability expert from Ocean Generation and Ben Proctor, Director of On Repeat – an innovative packaging solution launching this June. All will be available for interview prior to and following the webinar.
Sign up for the webinar now –
The webinar will cover topics including;
• Why is it important that the beauty industry specifically should play an active role in the world’s global sustainability efforts?
• Is being “green” a USP or is it becoming a new-normal baseline standard?
• Green-washing in the beauty industry – what brands should consumers trust and how do they spot pretenders?
• Tangible advice for those wanting to become more environmentally conscious.

Why now?
Consumers are demanding a change from brands;
• 73% of UK consumers want to live more sustainably.
• 69% of consumers want to reduce their plastic consumption – the number 1 sustainability priority.

Our ecosystem can’t sustain our current behaviours around plastics;
• Only 5% of the world’s plastics are recycled effectively – 40% end up on landfill and a third in fragile ecosystems such as the ocean.
• 90% of us recycle regularly in the kitchen but only 52% recycle from our bathroom.
• Recycling aluminum saves 95% of energy required to make it in the first place.
• Only 9% of all plastic ever made has actually been recycled! In comparison 75% of aluminium is still in use today.

Career Insights: The Making of a Makeup Artist at Graduate Fashion Week
2021-06-14 19:00 - 20:00 (Europe/London)
The impact of the pandemic on all students and people aspiring to a career in the beauty industry or starting out in their careers has been a huge stumbling block. Universities and colleges across the UK are delivering curriculum virtually, with little if any face-to-face contact and many graduations have been cancelled. This makes motivation hard, particularly when they will have had no exposure to the industry guest lecturers that students typically enjoy during term.
So, it is our hope that inspiring discussions will provide that beacon of hope that there is a bright future for anyone who seeks to work towards their goals in this industry. This June our Education Pillar will be supporting Graduate Fashion Week with a live panel Career Insights: The Making of a Makeup Artist hosted by our President of Pillar, Education, Elizabeth Barnett Lawton, with makeup legends Alex Babsky, Hannah Martin, Kamanza Amihyia, and Terry Barber.
Date: Monday 14th June
Time: 7pm to 8pm
Location: Livestreamed to the Graduate Fashion Week website
Host:
Elizabeth Barnett Lawton

President of Pillar, Education at British Beauty Council, Educator and Former Beauty Journalist

Panellists:

Alex Babsky, Makeup Artist
Hannah Martin, Makeup Artist
Kamanza Amihyia, Hair and Makeup Artist for TV and Film
Terry Barber, Makeup Artist
