Sustainability

GREENER, CLEANER SKINCARE

As a natural skincare brand, Kinvara Skincare was founded by Dr. Joanne Reilly who earned her PhD in conservation ecology, with a deep-rooted commitment to sustainability and the impact of what we do and use.

From sustainable packaging and local production, to innovative formulations and natural ingredients - People, Plants, and Planet are part of Kinvara Skincare's DNA.

WE PROVIDE TRANSPARENCY

We're bombarded by information, marketing and claims and it can be hard to know what's real and what's not. That’s why we have invested in Provenance, the global leader in sustainability communications, to make our sustainable practices as transparent as possible for our consumers.

Provenance is a software that consolidates all our ethical and sustainable data into clear Proof Points, which allows our customers to make informed purchases. We want you to understand the positive impact you have on your skin, the planet, and its people.

Our Provenance Proof Points can be found on each of our product pages, or on the Provenance Kinvara Skincare directory linked here. The Proof Points are interactive icons representing a claim about our brand and products, that are fully evidence based and verified by Provenance.

NO WASTE, NO MESS

Did you know each of our dispensing products are made to be measured?

Our dispensers give exact, precise doses so our customers know how much to use, how long a product will last and don't waste a drop - for example there are 180 pumps in our Rosehip Serum, meaning if a customer used 1 pump a day it would last up to 6 months! Our Absolute Cleaning Oil contains 100 pumps, with one pump used daily, our cleansing oil will last over 3 months.

This ensures there is zero waste and our customers know exactly how long a product will last - depending on their personal use.

AMBER GLASS

We use Glass Amber Packaging for our other products - Elemental Exfoliating Powder, our Active Rosehip Day Cream, EyeWow! Eye Serum and 24Hr Rosehip Serum. Glass is a sustainable material as it is endlessly recyclable without quality loss, is chemically inert and can be reused.

BAMBOO

Our Face Cloths are made from ethically sourced, 100% organic, and sustainable Bamboo Fibers. Bamboo fiber is sustainable as it is a fast-growing, grow quickly, using less water and pesticides than cotton. Bamboo also absorbs more carbon dioxide and release more oxygen

POST CONSUMER RESIN

Post Consumer Resin (PCR) is plastic that has already been recycled and is repurposed, ready to use again (that would have otherwise ended up in landfills). We use PCR for our Absolute Cleansing Oil.

OUR REFILL

The absolute cleansing oil refill pouch has been designed to help reduce plastic waste by over 85%. After use, the product can be washed out and recycled. This refill pouch contains 2 and a half bottles worth of our absolute cleansing oil, so it is the perfect product for both oil cleansing enthusiasts and those keen to keep the environment in mind.

SUGARCANE

Our Omega Rich Hand & Nail Cream and Hyaluronic Youth Boost are packaged in Sugarcane plastic, which is made from a renewable resource. Sugarcane resin packaging captures more damaging carbon dioxide emissions during its lifecycle than it emits.
