READ ALL ABOUT IT

Minimal packaging
with maximal recyclables.

For over 20 years, our packaging decisions have been guided by responsible principles and creative passion:

• Reduce the size, weight and production processes of packaging whenever possible

• Offer packaging that can be widely recycled whenever possible

• Use as much recycled content/PCR as commercially possible without affecting the efficacy of the product

• Challenge suppliers to innovate their packaging using a sustainability lens

THERE'S MORE

We are proud to have been the first beauty company to use 100% post-consumer recycled PET in a product package. Today, 95% of PET bottles and jars contain 100% post-consumer recycled resin and more than 80% of our HDPE bottles are minimum of 80% PCR resin³.

Our approach
to carbon neutrality.

We use 100% renewable electricity fueled by our 3.6 acre, 1.52MW onsite solar array, plus wind power credits and offsets. In 2007, we were the first beauty company to begin manufacturing with 100% wind power at its primary facility. Our primary manufacturing facility has also achieved Zero Industrial Waste to Landfill status.
