The Best Fair Trade Grooming Products for Ethical Self-Care
]
When shopping for the perfect men’s grooming products for your self-care regimen, there is a range of desirable product attributes you might look for — vegan, organic, non-comedogenic, and hypoallergenic to name a few. Many guys are also interested in the ethical and sustainable production of grooming products, so they want to find Fair Trade-Certified grooming products.
A Fair Trade certification indicates that at least one ingredient in the product was produced and traded in accordance with standards set forth by Fair Trade USA. Fair Trade Certification helps ensure workers and producers are paid fair wages and fair prices, work in safe environments and under safe conditions, protect the environment during production, and receive funds to develop their communities. Therefore, buying Fair Trade grooming products is one way you can promote ethical and fair trading practices, safe working conditions, community support, and environmental sustainability.
Unfortunately, there are few men’s grooming products that are fully Fair Trade Certified. However, there are some great grooming products that use fair trade ingredients with their brands committed to ethical business practices. Consider taking steps toward a kinder, fairer, safer way of conducting business while simultaneously looking your best with our recommendations for the best fair trade grooming products for men.

Kristan Serafino Debuts ‘The Best Paste’ Men’s Grooming Brand
]
In her years as a celebrity groomer to the likes of Shawn Mendes, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, Kristan Serafino has always been in pursuit of the best paste — literally.
This week, Serafino introduced The Best Paste, her grooming brand of styling products. Starting with five stock keeping units — men’s styling products named by their various finishes and levels of hold, each priced at $28 — the brand launched directly on its website Tuesday, as well as in select barber shops and hair salons.
Serafino’s familiarity with the products predates its launch. She acquired the company originally known as Anchors Hair Co., founded by barber Ben Miller, along with its facility in April 2021. She then tweaked the formulas while renaming, rebranding and repackaging them.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Serafino said it was born out of her relationship with the brand. “It is truly the best I’ve ever used, it’s in my kit, it’s been with me on six continents,” she said. “We started our due diligence in January of 2021 and closed in April, and Miller is still a part of the team.”
Market research that Serafino relied on indicated that 6 million men bought hair paste during the pandemic, and that men don’t shop by hair type. “You want to know the shine level and the hold, and that’s why we designed the naming this way,” she said. Products include High Shine Light Hold and Natural Shine Medium Hold for example.
Serafino also took a more essentialist approach as her first step with the brand. Under its previous ownership, it had 28 products across skin care and shaving, as well as hair care. Now, she tweaked its top five bestsellers and is only selling those.
“Ben [Miller] and I are working on three new formulas,” she said. “We are not looking to grow the line by many, many skus. We will grow as we see fit, and what’s needed.”
The brand’s approach to distribution is similar, too. Serafino didn’t rule out expanding into retail eventually, but given her penchant for product education, felt it best to start on her own website.
“I even put a QR code on the boxes that will take consumers to an educational video,” Serafino said. “As a hairstylist, I wanted to show that not only am I giving you what you’re asking, but I wanted to show you how to use it.
“Products work, it’s usually user error that’s the problem,” she continued, referencing her experience with her clients. “It isn’t until I educate them on the application and the style that they get it.”
It also played a role in the brand’s marketing strategy, she said. Serafino’s megawatt client list may boast a following, but she herself has more than 65,000 followers on Instagram alone.
“It’s my job as an authority in grooming that I educate with the knowledge that I have,” she said. “Over the years, when I would include the brand in a quote, sales would spike.”
Serafino didn’t comment on sales, although industry sources expect the brand to reach $1 million to $3 million in sales during its first year on the market.

The importance of male grooming & all that men ought to do to groom themselves
]
Men’s salons have mushroomed at a fast pace. Beauty guru Shahnaz Husain talks about the importance of grooming for men and how they can upkeep themselves.
Men realise the importance of appearance; that looking one’s best imparts self-confidence, very necessary in today’s competitive career world. Moreover, there are many jobs in which appearance counts, like public relations, media relations, front office jobs, marketing and sales, jobs in hotels, tourism, television, modelling and the fashion industry. Exposure to television advertisements and global trends are some other factors that have contributed to the demand for male grooming products and salon care.
Yes, men have certainly become more conscious of their appearance. They are spending much more time on grooming. It is estimated that on average a male spends an hour and a half at a salon today, compared to just 30 minutes, a few years ago. A man’s skin is just as vulnerable as a woman’s and needs as much care. In fact, men spend more time outdoors in the sun. Exposure to the sun, air pollutants, chlorinated water, air-conditioning, stress, all affect the skin, giving rise to skin problems and even hastening the ageing process of the skin. Male skin is also more vulnerable to problems like acne. However, men are most concerned about hair problems, especially hair loss.
Men need their own personalised space and expert care for grooming. There is nothing like a massage to reduce fatigue and stress.
I believe that a man needs a few versatile products, rather than several products for routine care. For example, an aftershave cream that moisturises and also refreshes the skin would be an advantage.
A man’s skin is tougher than a woman’s skin, but men also spend more time out of doors. Therefore, male skin is more exposed to the sun and environmental effects. Sunscreen, hair tonics and hair styling products are also more popular among men. Men’s products should be easy to use and should not entail a time-consuming routine.
Two of the most important aspects of a daily routine for men are cleansing and sun protection. Cleansing at night is of utmost importance, to remove all the pollutants that have been deposited on the skin during the day. The application of sunscreens before going out in the sun plays an important role in preventing UV ray damage. Men have also become more aware of good health and fitness. Indeed, good looks result from good internal health and regular external care. Yes, this applies to men too.
