Toronto just got a brand new community space in the heart of the city, perfect for soaking up the best summer vibes. Beauty at the Bentway, inspired by Clean and Planet Aware at Sephora, is open as of June 6, 2024, and it's given Torontonians a gorgeous space filled with art, nature, free classes and more.
In honour of the retailer's 20th anniversary and to celebrate and drive awareness of Sephora’s Clean and Planet Aware commitments, Beauty at the Bentway has revitalized a key piece of Toronto’s iconic urban environment under the Gardiner Expressway into a community space designed to inspire people to make mindful choices in all areas of their lives.
The large-scale installation is free to visit, and you can drop by to spend time at the communal table, park your bike, and take a break from your Toronto adventures while enjoying artwork by local artist Avril Wu.
To celebrate the launch of Beauty at The Bentway, Sephora Canada is offering free Classes for Community in collaboration with local Toronto businesses Good Space and Studio Mooi.
Clean and Planet Aware at Sephora
As an industry leader, Sephora is inspiring a more responsible world of beauty with its Clean and Planet Aware product offerings. Sephora has continuously advanced its standards over the years, effectively raising the bar for change in the industry.
In April this year, Sephora evolved its Clean at Sephora and Planet Aware at Sephora programs globally to harmonize how it communicates on formulations and environmental commitments across its 35 markets worldwide.
Clean at Sephora is Sephora’s commitment to offering effective products without certain ingredients, such as parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and mineral oils. Planet Aware at Sephora brands have met Sephora’s specific criteria for ingredient sourcing and formulation, packaging, environmental commitments, and consumer transparency. Clean & Planet Aware at Sephora introduces brands that have met both sets of criteria.
