recycle material

We have asked them for further clarity on their recycling policies and plastic content
We are unclear on the recycle policy / decompose time of their single use sheet masks - we have asked the brand for more clarity on this*.

Though Parent brand claims to be working towards recycling policies, we find that they are equally responsible for contaminating the planet too.
Brand has partnered with TerraCycle to offer the World’s First National Razor Recycling program to help keep hard-to-recycle blades and razors from ending up in landfills.
We hope something positive comes out of this in the long run.
