ECOLOGY

     

    • Operate considerately
      • formulating with plant-derived, non-GMO ingredients that have been tested for heavy metals / other contaminants
      • maintaining a circular model to minimize our ecological impact - reducing, reusing, repurposing, regenerating, and recycling
      • equipping our work spaces with recyclable and biodegradable implements and furniture
      • using supplies that are biodegradable and compostable
      • composting remnants of raw materials and supplies
      • cleaning our work spaces with biodegradable solutions.
    • Package consciously
      • bottling all our skincare formulations in glass, as it can be reused or recycled endlessly
      • etching labels on our product bottles, eliminating extra labeling resources
      • not using individual boxes to package our products, reducing extra packaging resources
      • emailing your receipt, reducing the use of ink and paper
      • using recycled and recyclable supplies for our shipping needs
      • using sealing labels made from plant waste
      • using zero-waste shipping labels
      • using zero-waste water activated tape
      • using paper made entirely from recovered trash, naturally biodegradable and compostable, and recyclable
      • using eco-friendly algae ink, a revolutionary ink that utilizes algae cells for pigments making it more compatible with the recycling and composting process.
