CONSCIENTIOUS PACKAGING

CONSCIENTIOUS PACKAGING

Seems like this is redundant to mention but it's a common misconception that just because a company doesn't use animal products they are "cruelty-free".
At our studio, all our products are made with natural ingredients and we would never test and/or harm animals ever.

CONSCIENTIOUS PACKAGING

We strive to use recyclable and/or compostable materials unless totally necessary (i.e spray dispenser and droppers). We are currently working towards also using 100% recycled boxing solutions, zero-waste shipping labels and mailers.

RENEWABLE SOURCES
