Want your skincare brand to be clean and green?
Start with your packaging.
Here are 5 simple and smart choices.
1. Use Glass Jars or Bottles
Glass looks nice.
It can be used again.
And it can be recycled.
Best for: Creams, oils, serums.
✅ Good for the planet
✅ Feels high quality

⚠️ Heavy to ship
2. Try Aluminum Tins or Tubes
Aluminum is strong and light.
It also keeps products fresh.
Best for: Balms, masks, and lotions.
✅ Rust-free
✅ Easy to recycle

⚠️ Some need lining inside
3. Go for Compostable Wrappers
These break down in compost.
They do not pollute the Earth.
Best for: Samples or small items.
✅ Great for short-term use
✅ Easy to ship
⚠️ May need special compost bins
⚠️ Not good for long storage
4. Use Recycled Plastic (PCR)
This plastic is made from old plastic.
It gives waste a second life.
Best for: Pumps, bottles, tubes.

✅ Still strong and safe
⚠️ Not always recyclable again
⚠️ Can look less perfect
5. Offer Refill Options
Let people keep their jar.
Send only the refill next time.

⚠️ Setup may cost more
