Skincare packaging puts the environment first

Bottles, caps, and pumps for a new line of natural, organic skincare products are selected with their environmental impact one of the top considerations.

Goddess Garden chose glass and aluminum for its bottles and jars, rather than plastic.

Goddess Garden Organics of Boulder, CO, is a B Corp-certified company specializing in natural, organic skincare products that not only protect the skin from damage, but also repair damage that has already been done. When it comes to selecting packaging for its products, “environmental impact is always one of the first considerations,” says company Assistant Brand Manager Kat Wiranowski. “Cost and consumer preference are secondary—but still important—so we try to find the best solutions for our customers, without sacrificing the environment.”

For its new Sun Repair System, which includes seven sun repair skincare products, Goddess Garden chose packaging materials with a range of eco-conscious attributes. Among them, recycled content, low upfront energy consumption during manufacturing, and/or the ability to be endlessly recycled. Forgoing plastic containers for its cleansers, creams, and serums, the company chose glass and aluminum bottles, held in paperboard cartons—decisions that required some tradeoffs. Says Wiranowski, “We wanted to offer airless pumps, but our search turned up only non-recyclable acrylic, so we simply didn’t do it.”
