Innovators in Skin for Skincare

The growing trend in skincare is formulating all natural and organic solutions for the skin. However, few of them have put that much thought into their outer packaging. The following companies have taken an extra step to make the skin for their skincare a little more than just recyclable.

Bryan Meehan, founder of the UK based skincare line Nude, thought outside of the box and got rid of it completely by developing block-like containers that are easily stackable and are sealed in a 100% corn based biodegradable plastic. Each container is made from 40% post-consumer plastic and is completely recyclable. Nude has also taken an extra step in making their gift bags and educational pamphlets earth friendly by sourcing post-consumer paper as well as printing with non-toxic inks.

Jurlique, Australia’s number one selling skincare line, practices biodynamic farming for their products as well as a portion of their packaging. These highly efficacious products are available in boxes that are made from 80% post consumer paper and their bottles are recyclable glass. If you can’t decide on one product, you can try one of their starter kits that are housed in 100% biodegradable packages resembling egg cartons. Like Nude, Jurlique has taken the extra step in making their shopping bags and literature out of post consumer materials as well as using non-toxic inks.

Cargo’s Plant Love line includes plant based cosmetics in biodegradable corn based tubes. The outer box made from paper embedded with seeds that you can plant so that you can grow flowers that are almost as pretty as your face.
