Green and non-toxic are only worth saying when someone has measured them. This page sets out the house rules, then the certification and test notes held for each packaging type. Pre-ordering opens October 2026 and the first orders ship December 2026.
House rules
01
No parabens, phthalates, formaldehyde donors, PEGs, mineral oils, or undisclosed fragrance blends. Full INCI is declared on every back label.
02
No plastic in the primary pack. Where a component cannot yet be plastic-free it is disclosed on this page rather than quietly substituted.
03
No animal testing at any point in the chain, including in markets that would otherwise require it.
04
Every certification claim on a carton is held as a supplier document and re-verified at each production run.
