****zoobop recommends using eco-friendly masks instead of single sheet masks.
There is not enough data on waste from single use sheet masks yet but numbers can be similar to that of single use make up wipes that are thrown away by the millions every day. These can take hundreds of years to break down in a landfill.

Brand uses glass, metal & plastic for their products packaging.
We have asked them for more information 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*.

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.

Parent brand has partnered with TerraCycle® to create recycling programs for all their brands, but in 3rd world countries where these programs are not implemented most empty containers end up in Landfills.

Though brand is transparent with labelling, they need to clearly indicate transparency in sourcing of ingredients like Mica.

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.
