Sustainability
FORMULATION
We create products with consumer benefits and health applications in mind, manufacturing them in ways that use renewable energy and minimal natural resources, generating zero waste where possible. This is achieved through the use of Green Chemistry, a practice implemented by our fragrance house which aims to continuously improve upon the ingredients that are used in our formulas. Green Chemistry places an emphasis around energy efficiency, the use of renewable raw ingredients and the avoidance of hazardous materials.
PACKAGING
Our fragrance cap is made of a light natural wood (which means all are unique and have natural finish and color variations), using a patented cork inner system that alleviates the use of any glues or plastic. It is 100% organic and compostable.
There is currently no option of a fully recyclable, sustainable fragrance pump, however we have opted for a push-pump (crimpless), which requires the professional removal of the pump from the glass bottle prior to recycling and disposing of the pump.
Until we are able to offer a better solution, we offer a pre-paid return label to ship your bottle back to us, to ensure the bottle is properly disassembled and recycled. Our exterior packaging is made with 100% recyclable cardboard inner, wrapped with Fedrigoni FSC® certified papers.Papers are embossed and made of woodfree,high-strength FSC® certified pulp.
Upcycling is a process by which leftovers are re-imagined to produce something new rather than ending up in landfill. And in fragrance, upcycled fragrance notes are derived from waste and discarded natural ingredients, such as fruit, wood pulp or spent rose petals. An appealing characteristic is that upcycled ingredients cut back on growing and harvesting new materials, which saves on water and land, not to mention over-farming of ingredients such as sandalwood.
Given that the fragrance industry produces an estimated 92 million tonnes of waste each year, we’re able to find new ways to put these by-products to use, rather than having them end up as landfill.
SOCIAL IMPACT
Intent on sourcing responsibly, we strive to improve the quality of life in farming communities, helping to make them more stable, resilient and prosperous. Our fragrance house annually re-evaluates which investments will create the most value to improve farmers’ working and living conditions through mechanization, education and give-back programs.We've also doubled down in our investment towards positive change for people and our planet by donating 1% of our annual revenue to a number of charities through our partnership with 1% For The Planet.
