Green cosmetics bags from Gallant International
By Carla Snuggs

Many of us are making changes in our beauty routines to include eco-friendly products. I have been trying to add more products that are cruelty-free certified by Leaping Bunny and PETA, animal-friendly, allergen-free, chemical-free and petroleum-free. I’m also trying to eliminate waste and choose more organic and fair trade products. If you’re making the switch to green beauty products and brands, don’t forget that your makeup bags count as well.

Gallant International makes 100% organic and fair trade wholesale cosmetic pouches for beauty brands. These cosmetic bags are made using organically grown fair trade cotton. Also, postharvest to finishing process is done as per GOTS standards. 

What are GOTS standards? According to Organic Trade Association, The aim of the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is to define requirements to ensure organic status of textiles, from harvesting of the raw materials, through environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing up to labeling in order to provide a credible assurance to the end consumer. Gallant International Cosmetics bags are produced ethically at a fair trade certified factory.  

There are so many myths about fair trade. Some believe that fair trade is about paying developed world wages in the developing world, that it siphons off American jobs to other countries,  that it is a form of charity and that it results in goods that are more expensive for the consumer and lower quality products. This is far from the truth - you can learn more about those myths vs reality here.

 The truth is that when a company like this is committed to Organic and Fair Trade, they make products affordable & without compromise to companies and individuals around the world. They work with organizations like Fairtrade America, Fair Trade USA , GOTS and B Corp™. They create transparent and meaningful relationships with hard working farmers and factory workers and with their customers. 

I am so loving these beautiful makeup bags. I know that many of you have beauty businesses and are very artistic, so they are great for any makeup, skincare or haircare business.  You can use them to package your products or you can add them as a bonus with purchase. Gallant International 100% organic and fair trade wholesale cosmetics pouches are completely customizable in any size, shape, color, print/embroidery. On top of that, you can add accessories such as zippers, buttons, pockets or trims and customize them as well. Another idea is to use the cosmetics bags as gift bags. I tend to gift a lot of cosmetics during the holidays and this is a cute way to package them. Personalize them and they purchase them in bulk. The bags include a free label with care and certification info stitched inside. Gallant’s COO/care label assures each bag is organic, Fair Trade certified & traceable.
