ELEMIS is an innovative and global British skincare brand with over 30 years of expertise. The brand’s skincare products cater to a wide range of skin types and concerns, with an emphasis on sustainable practices. 

ELEMIS Unboxing Featuring Eco-Friendly Materials

The company’s packaging embraces eco-friendly alternatives that prioritize the protection of natural resources and minimize environmental impact, such as protective paper wrap made from 100% recyclable materials. 

ELEMIS is a Certified B Corp company. By pledging to meet these high standards of social and environmental impact, ELEMIS shows commitment to their eco-friendly initiatives. The Certified B Corp stamp can be located on the inside of each order packed inside a recyclable box. 

ELEMIS Order Contents

A few of the brand’s recent environmental initiatives can be experienced in the unboxing of this order–

  • Paper and cardboard packaging is sourced from certified sustainable forests each year and uses a mix of recycled content too.
  • Ditched the bubble wrap in 2021, saving 11* tonnes of plastic by moving to protective paper wrap for online orders.

Product boxes are 100% recyclable and feel very smooth to the touch– giving a luxurious experience that still benefits the Earth. 

ELEMIS Clarifying Serum Unboxing

Swapping out previous bottles with recyclable glass material is just one way that ELEMIS has committed to their sustainable practices. ELEMIS now uses recycled glass containers, and is slowly rolling this out to all products within their line– including the Clarifying Serum. 

Not all ELEMIS products come in glass packaging. For products that come in tubes or other materials, instructions on how to properly recycle each product can be found on their respective Product Detail Page

ELEMIS Peptide4 Eye Recovery Cream and Samples

While not all items in this order came in recycled glass jars, (Peptide4 Eye Recovery Cream, Samples), they did, however, feature a recycle icon on the exterior of each product.
