Sustainability

It's no surprise that skincare products leave a footprint on this planet. While we’re probably the better alternative out there, we still have a long way to go before we’re an actual, sustainable company. But here’s what we’ve achieved so far and what we’re working on.

Certified B Corporation

We are proud to be among other leaders in the global movement for an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy. B Corps are organisations verified by B Lab to meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. The certification is unique in its ability to holistically measure a company’s entire social and environmental impact.

1% of our revenues go to carbon removals

We want to take responsibility for our emissions by actively investing in carbon offsets that remove CO2. Making your customised skincare leaves a footprint, but we’re working on reducing it. Until we one day in the future reach zero emissions, we are imposing ourselves a CO2 tax.

Recyclable packaging

We can never be certain that our packaging gets recycled, but we hope that you will do your part by disposing of it the right way. You won’t find any metal parts in any of our products and our simple material composition consists of two main types of plastics, PP and PE, that are widely recyclable. All our paper and cardboard materials are recyclable, too. Just remember to check local guidelines and sort your waste into the right bins.

Our paper and cardboard packaging are FSC® certified

We’re all about responsible forestry, so of course our shipping boxes and paper filling are made of 100% FSC® Mix fibres. We also cut down on materials by removing inserts and leaflets. You’ll instead find a QR code on the box that you can scan to get all the information you need.

We’re using recycled materials wherever possible

74% - that’s the amount of post-consumer recycled materials we use across all our packaging items (measured by weight). Some items contain zero recycled materials, some contain 100%, and others somewhere in between. We’re working hard to increase the amount where we can.

OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT

How can you help us and the environment?

We have taken the first steps and you can help us do even better. Here is how:

  • Make sure to put your empty packaging in the right recycling bins. We’ve worked hard to increase the circularity of our packaging. So, remember to check local guidelines and sort your empty packaging into the right bins.
  • Don’t over-consume. If it’s the first time you’re trying a NØIE product, we encourage you to buy our smallest size and test the product first. We don’t do samples, but you are always covered by our Skin Improvement Guarantee.
  • Empty your products completely before you move on to a new one. Not only is it good for your wallet, it’s also easier to recycle our packaging when it’s empty. Yes, we know: Some of our packaging can be a bit difficult to empty. But the good old ‘cut-open-the-bottles’ really does the trick to get every bit of your customised skincare out.
  • Order ahead of time. It means you won’t need express shipping and can go for our standard economy shipping option, which is cheaper for you and better for the environment. Express shipments are 20 times more polluting than economy shipments. Think about that next time you order.
