Brand uses plastic, glass & metal for products packaging.
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*.

It should be noted, that most makeup plastics are difficult to recycle.

Though brand is transparent with labelling, they need to clearly indicate transparency in sourcing of ingredients like Palm Oil & Shea.

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.
