GLOWING
FOR THE PLANET
Since day 1, Glow Recipe has been committed to respecting your skin and the planet. In addition to being Climate Neutral Certified, we are constantly striving to reduce our environmental impact. From conscientious ingredient sourcing to eco-friendly packaging and sustainable shipping practices, and everything in between!
Sustainability is a journey and we promise to be transparent every step of the way as we continue to do our part to keep the planet glowing.
HERE ARE THE STEPS WE ARE TAKING TO DO OUR PART:
WE’RE OFFICIALLY CARBON NEUTRAL CERTIFIED
This means we have measured all of Glow Recipe’s emissions and are implementing reduction actions, a key milestone in our journey to net-zero!
Learn MoreHOW DID WE GET HERE & WHAT'S NEXT?
1. MEASURE
We partnered with a non-profit organization, Change Climate. Through their certification program, we measured our carbon footprint & put together a plan to offset and reduce our emissions now & in the future.
2. COMPENSATE
We compensate our emissions by purchasing carbon credits and create a reduction action plan to reduce our emissions this year and every year after.
3. REDUCE
Each year, we put together plans to reduce our overall future emissions. Past initiatives include redesigning packaging to use less paper, reducing air freight, and increasing our use of PCR materials. And each year we challenge ourselves to continuous improvement!
ECO-CONSCIOUS PACKAGING
We are constantly looking for ways to cut down on packaging and use more sustainable materials, including our ongoing efforts to expand our range of refillable products.
Learn MorePACKAGING DESIGNED TO BE RECYCLED
In an effort to reduce waste, all of our packaging is designed to be recycled curbside or through our partnership with Pact Collective. In an effort to further reduce waste, our product packaging also utilizes post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic and glass where possible and we have eliminated all one time use items from packaging, such as spatulas.
BETTER (AND LESS) PAPER
We exclusively use FSC-certified paper, sourced responsibly to protect forests, and print with soy & vegetable ink. Additionally, we’ve optimized packaging weight and volume to eliminate unnecessary packaging.
REFILLABLE PACKAGING
We launched our first refillable product in 2021, the Plum Plump Hyaluronic Cream and in 2024 we launched our Watermelon Glow Pink Juice Oil-Free Refillable Moisturizer. Each time you purchase a refill, you save about 66% of carbon emissions and about 85% of waste!* Looking ahead, we’re actively exploring opportunities to expand our refillable products.
