Scenturie's Commitment to Sustainable Skincare: Good for Your Skin, Good for our Planet
At Scenturie, we believe that beautiful skin shouldn’t come at the cost of the planet. We’re committed to sustainable skincare practices that minimise our environmental impact and contribute to a healthier future. Our sustainability policy guides our choices every step of the way, from ingredient sourcing to packaging and beyond.
Here’s how we’re taking action:
Reducing Waste
- Sustainable Packaging: Our natural skincare products are packaged in reusable and recyclable with aluminium lids. Join our Returnable Product Packaging Service to return your empties for Eco-Points and help us reduce waste! Learn more about why plastic-free packaging matters.
- No Unnecessary Boxes: We say no to external boxes to save trees and reduce waste.
- Recycled Paper Packaging: We use recycled kraft paper, corrugated cardboard, and compostable courier bags made from recycled, FSC-certified paper. We even use paper tape!
Minimising Pollution
- 100% Vegan Skincare: We avoid animal products to reduce our environmental impact and promote cruelty-free practices. Learn more about our commitment to vegan skincare.
- Palm Oil-Free: We avoid unsustainable palm oil, a major contributor to deforestation and climate change. Learn more about our stance on palm oil.
- Supporting Local: We prioritise local sourcing whenever possible to reduce transportation emissions and support our community.
Ethically Sourced Ingredients
- Fair Trade Initiatives: We source ingredients from suppliers who prioritise fair prices, fair wages, and humane working conditions, empowering communities and promoting sustainable development.
- Our Ultra-Rich Natural Night Cream features Fairtrade Ghanaian Shea butter.
- Our Nourishing Natural Day Cream contains organic Argan oil sourced from a Moroccan company committed to ethical practices.
- We use Fairtrade coffee in our Espresso Facial Scrub and Men’s Charcoal Coffee Face Scrub.
- Learn more about our commitment to fair trade.
- Protecting Endangered Species: The popularity of aromatherapy and natural beauty products in recent years has led to increased supply and demand for natural crops that have not been able to meet the needs of consumers. This has led to the over-exploitation of resources affecting the biodiversity of many species including essential and carrier oil-bearing plants. We meticulously research our ingredients to ensure they come from sustainable and renewable sources, avoiding endangered plants. The essential oils we choose to use in our skincare products are sustainable and rated as stable and of ‘Least Concern’ on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List. Learn more about our efforts to protect endangered species.
- Upcycled Ingredients: We utilise upcycled ingredients like apple seed oil in our Regenerate Natural Eye Cream to minimise waste and maximise resource utilisation. Learn more about our use of upcycled ingredients.
