Packaging Care

We believe caring for your skin goes hand in hand with caring for the environment.

Wherever possible, we choose low impact packaging, including reusable, recyclable, biodegradable and home-compostable materials.

We’re always looking for better ways to reduce waste and make more thoughtful packaging choices, refining what we use as better options become available.

Please reuse, recycle or compost where facilities allow, and check your local guidelines for disposal.

Thank you for helping us care for the environment.
