Brand is a certiied B corporation.
Though Parent brand claims to be a responsible sourcer, the ingredients used in products are not earth friendly.
Some products contain Oxybenzone, P.E.Gs, Mineral Oils, Palm Oil Derivatives*
It is unclear how long their sheet mask takes to decompose as waste (under normal conditions)**
we have asked for brand more clarity

*Parent brand is part of RSPO for sustainable palm oil
To know more about Palm Oil & its impact on forests wildlife & the environment, check this post https://www.zoobop.com/post-detail.aspx?id=5 />
**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.

The large majority of their plastic bottles are made of PET. The pumps for products are made of mixed materials and are not recyclable.
That claim that all deodorants are all recyclable.
Brand claims to be currently averaging 25% PCR and have been using BPA free packaging for several years.
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 we find brand working towards sustainable packaging, their Parent brand is equally responsible for contaminating the planet too. In developing and third world countries all waste & plastic ends up in landfills.
