To be clear, we are not a fully sustainable beauty brand - and we're not sure a beauty brand could ever truly be sustainable but here's our take on it...

Ingredients - we're not a single or hero ingredient skincare brand, we have complex formulas made up of highly efficacious ingredients BUT we keep our ingredient inclusion to 12 raw ingredients or under, per product - minimising the impact on your skin barrier, the supply chain demand, reducing potential waste and keeping the products simple.

We only work with suppliers who have the highest ethical standards for their sourcing, supply chain and working conditions for their people. We are fully compliant with EU production standards.

Clear Skin Days believes that beauty products should be cruelty free. We are proud to be Leaping Bunny approved. A global programme, Leaping Bunny requires cruelty free standards over and above legal requirements.

All of our own brand cosmetic and personal care products are approved under the Cruelty Free International Leaping Bunny programme, the internationally recognisable gold standard for cruelty free products. We adhere to a fixed cut-off date policy and proactively monitor our suppliers to ensure that our products continue to adhere to the Leaping Bunny criteria. Our supplier monitoring system is also independently audited.

Currently, 95% or our main packaging is recyclable - we've been working with our suppliers to make better decisions + improve in this area. In August 2021, we changed our pack shape so it had the same volume of product, but used less plastic. We also moved away from packs that had pumps (metallised springs) and all our packaging is now fully recyclable apart from the sachets for our Blemish Repair Patches. Its not ideal - the patches are such a great product and work so well on reducing breakouts, so we are working really closely with our supply partner to get this resolved.

Our cartons are FSC certified and fully recyclable - we've chosen to minimise the decoration on the carton (removed the spot varnishes on the logo for example) so that all our cartons take less energy to recycle.

We are also working on our impact from a Carbon perspective and looking at how quickly we can become Carbon neutral. We're aiming to have something to share with you in 2023

We are continually striving to do better with our impact on the planet. This such an important part of our business - it's not a journey as it never ends - its about working together to ensure improvements are continuous.

We are nowhere near perfect but we are working on being better!
