Absolutely! We've made a significant effort to ensure our packaging is as sustainable as possible:

- Reduced Plastic Use: We actively minimize the use of virgin plastics in our packaging.
- Reuse Encouragement: We encourage you to reuse our shipping boxes and even our product containers creatively before recycling, whenever possible, to further reduce waste.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. In skincare, they act as messengers, signaling your skin to perform various functions. Different peptides have different roles, but generally, they can help to:
- Boost Collagen Production: Leading to firmer, plumper skin and reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Improve Skin Elasticity: For a more resilient and youthful complexion.
- Reduce Inflammation: Calming irritated skin.
- Enhance Hydration: By supporting the skin's natural barrier.
- Even Skin Tone: Some peptides can help address hyperpigmentation.
While our products are formulated with natural and gentle ingredients, and we avoid common irritants, individual sensitivities vary. We always recommend performing a patch test on a small area of skin (e.g., behind the ear or on the inner arm) before incorporating a new product into your full routine, especially if you have highly sensitive skin or known allergies.
Yes, all our products are 100% vegan and cruelty-free. We never test on animals, and our formulations do not contain any animal-derived ingredients.
No. We believe in the power of nature and avoid synthetic fragrances and artificial colors. Any scent in our products comes from natural essential oils or the ingredients themselves.
Once you've finished your product, we encourage you to follow these steps:
- Clean: Rinse the container thoroughly to remove any product residue.
- Recycle: Place glass containers and plastic containers (if marked with a recycling symbol) into your household recycling bin. Check with your local recycling facility for specific guidelines.
- Reuse: Get creative! Our jars and bottles can be repurposed for crafts, storage, or travel-sized products.
