Some of our customers have recently asked us whether we use plastic in our product packaging. The answer is no. This is why.
A recent study published in the journal Science has highlighted that more than 11 billion pieces of plastic larger than five centimeters wide are littering coral reefs across the Asia-Pacific region. The study found that the presence of plastic waste makes reefs more prone to infection by as much as 89%, with devastating consequences.
We have chosen our packaging with the environment in mind and purposefully use glass bottles for our serums and aluminium tins for our balms, which are recyclable/reusable and have a low environmental footprint. In addition, unlike plastics, these materials do not leach into our products, which avoids negative consequences for your skin and body.
