We commit to reducing 2021 Scope 1 and 2 emissions 50% by 2030.
We strongly believe in reducing our footprint and doing our part to help preserve our planet. We are proud to be one of the first natural skincare brands to introduce refillables. Our ingredients come from organic farming practices, which involve less pollution, less soil erosion, and less energy than non-organic harvesting practices. Organic farming practices eliminate the use of synthetic pesticides and nitrogen pollution which benefits water, wildlife, and people. Our packaging uses recycled, recyclable, refillable, or biodegradable materials. All products launched starting in 2021 have been produced in glass or post-consumer recycled resin (PCR) including refill pods. Additionally, unit cartons are made of FSC-cert recycled paper.
