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