Recycling Yours

We’re on a mission to make skincare simple and sustainable––and we need your help with recycling Yours!

♻️

Recycling Yours the right way:

01.
Separate by material
Serum, cream bottles and exfoliant tub: Plastic – fully recyclable
Eye serum: Plastic cap with a glass body – both fully recyclable
Shipping & outer boxes: Cardboard – fully recyclable
02.
Double check for residue
Serums and creams: Our specially designed airless pump bottle packaging helps prevent product from sticking to the walls, reducing waste.
Once you’ve finished your products, it’s best to open your bottles, and double check for residue.
03.
Rinse your bottles
Before recycling, give your bottles a quick rinse to ensure they are clean and there is no trace of product residue left.

How to tell if your products are finished

Open the bottle and check if the airless pump inside has reached the top.
Despite pumping 10-15 times consecutively, no product comes out!

Each bottle typically lasts for about 2 months, with an average use of 1-2 pumps twice a day.

Opening Yours’ bottles

It’s easy - all you need to do is twist the cap open, like any regular screw cap.

Reduce product waste by reusing your empty bottles! All our bottles can be opened, washed, and refilled with serums and creams as an easy travel hack – and even with hand sanitizer. To reuse, push the airless pump base down with a clean stick from the inside, rinse well and refill when dry.

Recycling the outer packaging

If the packaging material has become soiled or stained from food items, you’ll have to dispose it along with general waste (a health and safety regulation).
Flatten the shipping box. While this isn’t a requirement, it helps ensure a little more space in the recycling bin for more recyclables!
Recycle it with paper and carton products. We use a water-activated paper tape so this can be recycled together.

All our packaging is fully recyclable.

♻️ You can recycle each and every element of our packaging.

♻️ By 2022, we pledge to bring our carbon footprint as close to net zero as possible.
