recycle material

Brand uses glass, metal and plastic containers, tubes for most of its products.
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.
