Did you know that…
…300 million tons of plastic is produced each year?
...8 million of that is chucked into the sea annually?
...the beauty industry accounts for 146 million tons of plastic produced annually?
Being a plant-powered skincare brand puts us in a tough position. On one hand, we care about Mother Nature and want to help preserve and protect the environment to the best of our ability. That’s our ethos. But on the other hand, we are a part of an industry that produces tons of plastic every year.
This is why we offer a number of sustainable and eco-friendly products.
These products include Fullmoon Serum, Superfood Serum, Intimacy Oil, Face Food Mineral Mist and our Bamboo Charcoal Sponge, which can be found at a number of Graydon Skincare retailers.
So if you want to lend a hand in protecting the environment, while supporting a local business, then I encourage you to visit these 6 awesome, eco-friendly retail partners of ours. Aside from Graydon Skincare products, you'll also find a number of other unique, environmentally-conscious products.
