Our Sustainability

We strive to be a sustainable skincare brand by incorporating wild harvested, organically grown, 100% plant-based ingredients in our formulations. All products are cruelty free and we do not use harmful chemicals or preservatives. 

We are a creator to customer brand, meaning all products are produced in small batches and are as fresh as possible. 

To reduce our C02 footprint, over 90% of our ingredients and packaging are sourced from Europe.

Our packaging is made from sustainable paper sources and contains plant-based glue and laminate. Our dropper tops can be easily broken apart for recycling. Our glass bottles are made of white opal glass. Follow your community's guidelines on how to recycle these materials.
