recycle material

Brand uses glass, metal & plastic for most their product packaging.
We have asked them for further clarity on their recycling policies and plastic content

It should be noted, that most makeup plastics are difficult to recycle.
So it is always good when brands accept back their empties for sterilizing and recycling and when they offer refills.

Synthetic fragrance are known to contain a mix of various toxins - unless these are clearly and transparently mentioned as complete fragrance by the brand. Unfortunately very few brands give complete fragrance info as they consider this as proprietary information. When it comes to Synthetic fragrance this is tricky as they can be known pollutants in it. Though brand is transparent with labelling, they need to clearly indicate transparency in sourcing of ingredients like Shea.
