Ethically Sourced Ingredients: Scenturie's Commitment to the Planet
At Scenturie, we believe that true beauty goes beyond skin deep. That’s why we meticulously select pure plant oils known for their exceptional ability to hydrate, nourish, repair, and protect your skin. But our commitment goes further. As a sustainable skincare brand, we prioritise ethical sourcing to ensure that both our planet and its people thrive.
Here’s how we’re making a difference:
1. Fair Trade for a Better Future
We believe in empowering communities through fair trade practices. By sourcing ingredients from suppliers who prioritise fair prices, fair wages, and humane working conditions, we contribute to better education, healthcare, and environmental sustainability in developing countries.
- Our Ghanaian Shea butter, featured in our Ultra-Rich Natural Night Cream, is sourced from a women’s collective that helps eradicate poverty through fair trade practices. This partnership has positively impacted the lives of over 1000 women in rural Ghana.
- The organic Argan oil in our Nourishing Natural Day Cream comes from Marocavie, a Moroccan company supporting local charities and sustainable development.
- We even use locally sourced Fairtrade coffee in our Espresso Facial Scrub and Men’s Charcoal Coffee Face Scrub.
2. Protecting Endangered Plant Species
The increasing demand for natural ingredients can put a strain on delicate ecosystems and endanger plant species. At Scenturie, we’re committed to protecting biodiversity and ensuring the long-term sustainability of our ingredients.
- We meticulously research each ingredient to ensure it comes from sustainable and renewable sources.
- We avoid using oils from endangered trees like Indian Sandalwood and Atlas Cedarwood, opting for sustainable alternatives like Virginian Cedarwood in our Rejuvenating Natural Hand Cream.
- Our Men’s Hydrating Face Cleanser features Black Spruce and Kanuka essential oils, both rated as “Least Concern” on the IUCN Red List.
3. Upcycled Ingredients for a Circular Economy
We believe in minimising waste and maximising resource utilisation. That’s why we’re embracing the power of upcycled ingredients.
- Our Regenerate Natural Eye Cream features upcycled apple seed oil, a byproduct of apple juice production that would otherwise go to waste.
- By utilising upcycled ingredients, we reduce our environmental impact, minimise over-harvesting, and prevent greenhouse gas emissions associated with waste decomposition.
