Eco Policy

Slate Skincare Eco Policy 
 

You will not find any glitter or microbeads in any of our products. 

We always look for packaging options that can be recycled so our plastic bottles and glass jars are not only made from up to 60% recycled materials but they can also be recycled again in your regular recycle bin at home. The caps and pumps are ‘sometimes’ recycled but not always through your council recycle system so we are now part of the Terracycle scheme to combat this which I will talk about a little later.

To package our products you may notice they don’t come through the post in beautifully outer branded bags and boxes, again this is a choice we have made purposely. As a company we get deliveries on a daily basis, these come in a whole variety of packaging, rather than getting rid of it we use it to wrap our parcels which we then dispatch to you. Any bubble wrap we use is 100% recyclable and can be put into your regular plastics recycle bin or even better reused. 

We are strictly against any form of animal testing and we actively search for ingredient suppliers that also share the same values. All of our products are vegan friendly and made from naturally derived sustainable sources. 

Terracycle 

We get asked a lot if we can offer a refill option, as an online business we tried to work out the logistics of this but it was not working out cost effective or hygienic from both sides. This led us to look for an alternative way to ensure that anyone who can’t recycle our items from home has an option.

Terracycle recycle items that would not normally be able to be made into anything (hard-to-recycle items) , they accept any form of cosmetic packaging, pumps, caps, tubes and so on and will find a use for it. Some of the examples of items they make it childrens play equipment for schools, furniture and so much more. 

If you would like us to recycle your Slate Skincare product packaging please send it back to the address below, empty and as clean as possible and we will send it back to Terracycle. At this time we will only be able to recycle products that are from Slate Skincare as we have to pay to be part of the scheme based on the amount we send back and as a small business we have to watch our outgoings as much as we can however in the future we hope to be able to expand enough to be able to accept all cosmetic packaging to help even more.
