Taking Steps Toward Sustainability
We believe that every contribution counts in making sure future generations have a healthy planet to call home. Businesses are specially positioned to lead this effort - starting with being conscious of our environmental impact, encouraging greener practices, and strengthening the circle of support for other green and clean businesses.
We are always looking for ways to be greener - from carrying clean beauty brands, minimising waste in our packaging, to supporting environmental projects. Here we answer some of your questions regarding our sustainability efforts.
Are the products in your shop recyclable / plastic-free / use glass as packaging?
Picking the most eco-friendly packaging option, even glass, isn't always easy for skincare brands since there a lot of options that aren't compatible with formulas. Some products, like sunscreens, cannot be packaged in glass to protect it from UVA/UVB damage. But there are always smarter options out there, which is why the brands we carry in our shop are continuously striving to find the most sustainable packaging that reduces environmental footprint, and they always ensure that their products stay easy to use and uncomplicated so they can best serve its consumers and the planet.
Are your store's packaging materials recyclable?
We at Peaches&Crème, as an online store, are doing our utmost to do our part as entrepreneurs, to serve and protect our planet, by having all our packaging materials totally recyclable (even our packing peanuts are biodegradable!).
Are shipments from your store carbon-neutral?
We are covering all purchases to make them climate positive through Shopify Planet. A portion of our revenue goes to carbon removal companies vetted by the scientists from Carbon Direct, and those companies work to remove however much carbon our shipments created from the atmosphere.
