BAMBOO
WHY WE CHOSE IT
We chose bamboo because it perfectly aligns with our beliefs and values. Bamboo is the most sustainable material on earth. Making it ideal for cosmetic packaging.
Bamboo is:
- Eco-friendly, renewable and durable
- It does not need any pesticides, fertilizer, or herbicides
- It naturally regenerates from its own roots without the need to replant which saves on water and labour cost
- Grows incredibly fast some species of bamboo grows over 3' (90cm) in height in a day! That's over 1.5" (3.8cm) in one hour!! No other plant on earth can do that.
COSMETIC PACKAGING WASTE
An estimated 120 billion units of packaging are produced every year by the global cosmetics industry, most of which are not recyclable. Scientists suggest that by 2050, about 12,000 metric tons of plastic waste will be in landfills or the natural environment.
PLASTICS
Microbeads and microplastics like glitter are
impossible to remove out of oceans. Avobenzone, in sunscreens is now proven to deplete coral reefs. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in fragrances and hairsprays contribute to smog and air pollution. The indiscriminate use of palm oil in 70% of cosmetics has led to massive deforestation.
GLASS VS PLASTIC
While we do have two products that are packaged in recyclable plastic containers with bamboo lids, Repair with Rosé Body Polish and Relax in Rosé Bath Mic. It is only for safety purposes as they are shower products and can be dangerous if broken in the shower.
So if not for safety purposes both Relax and Repair with Rosé would be in glass containers.
So if not for safety purposes both Relax and Repair with Rosé would be in glass containers.
- Glass increases the shelf life of products, therefore, less waste and better-quality
- Glass is sustainable because of the abundance of the naturals materials that it’s made of such as sand
- Glass is reusable and therefore most glass packaging will not be in our landfill VS plastic which can only be recycled once to two times maximum. once again environmental protection
BAMBOO FACTS
- Bamboo is classified as a grass
- It has 1439 different species
- Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on this planet.
Bamboo is not only sustainable it naturally decomposes leaving behind only particles to boost the soil. Making it the ideal candidate for our product packaging.
