From our sustainable packaging to our innovative upcycled skincare ingredients, sustainability has always been at the heart of By Sarah. It's one of the many reasons why we're proudly B Corp certified.
That's why we've compiled our top tips for making sustainable swaps to simplify your skincare routine whilst caring for our planet - much like our skincare, we love a multitasking hero.
Choose beauty products with recyclable packaging
One of the simplest steps you can make towards a low-carbon future for our planet? Adding a recycling bin to your bathroom. The By Sarah team were shocked to discover only 50% of our recyclable bathroom waste is recycled versus 90% in our kitchen. Our FSC-approved cartons are 100% recyclable whilst still looking beautiful. Luxury, without compromising sustainability.
Even better? Opt for reusable packaging. All By Sarah glass bottles are endlessly recyclable. We also never use single-use cellophane or plastic wrapping, and our tissue paper works wonderfully as a gift wrap.
Streamline your skincare routine
It's not just the way we dispose of our empties that impacts the planet but the amount we consume in the first place. Just think of all the energy needed to produce and transport all those products. But cutting back needn't mean sacrificing your beauty and skincare rituals.
The entire By Sarah collection is designed to be multi-tasking and with simplicity in mind. Instead of working your way through a shedload of sheet masks, enjoy our exquisite Hero Facial Oil combined with facial massage every evening.
Use upcycled skincare ingredients
We're always on the lookout for new, innovative ingredients to power our By Sarah products and the way they're sourced is so important to us. One of our hero ingredients, hemp seed oil, is surplus from the food and juicing industry which we save from heading to landfill. The oil is extracted using a cold, low energy, solvent-free process. No new materials created; no existing resources wasted.
But these skin-loving powerhouses aren't just kind to the planet. They're bursting with goodness for your skin, too. Our upcycled hemp seed oil boasts 52% more antioxidants than standard hemp seed oil. A true hero ingredient.
Support cruelty-free skincare
When it comes to sustainable beauty products, we believe there's more to it than looking after the planet. Ethical beauty means ensuring that no animals are harmed in the creation of your products. By Sarah is proudly certified cruelty-free, meaning that none of our products are tested on animals, nor are any animals harmed in any of our sourcing. See if you can spot the Leaping Bunny logo on our packaging.
3 quick wins to help the planet
- Making sure your recyclables are clean, empty and dry can save tonnes going to landfill unnecessarily.
- Avoid recycling anything smaller than a credit card, such as paperclips, since these can jam the recycling equipment.
- Don't forget to swap out plastic wash bags for reusable tote bags.
See? Small tweaks but, oh, what a difference they can make to our planet and its future.
