Sustainability

Natural & Sustainable

Lanolin is a natural, renewable, and sustainable resource – it is a by-product of wool washing. If buried, wool, unlike synthetics, biodegrades in as little as three to four months. By choosing wool, and lanolin, you are choosing a truly environmentally-circular ingredient.

Packaging

Our packaging is made from plastic, aluminium & cardboard. Our formula is rich and natural and requires a specific level of protection & barrier to ensure the products do not go off, or leach through the tubes. In our ongoing commitment to sustainability, some of the initiatives we have implemented include:

• The phase-out of gold tube caps, replaced by a more environmentally friendly plain cap.
• The phase-out of plastic blister shell cases and plastic blister pack shelf trays.
• All of our boxes are made from certified FSC material. The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) promotes the responsible and sustainable management of the world's forests.
• Plant-based printing: the ink we use for printing our boxes are soybean and vegetable inks (plant-based inks) which makes our packaging easier to recycle and are more eco-friendly.
• Phase-out of cello coating on paper boxes, to make recycling possible.  We now have water-based finish and reduced the use of foil on all packaging. 
• Sugarcane and PCR materials are used for many tubes, with continued transition as testing allows.
