GREEN DOT

Widely recognized throughout Europe, the Green Dot symbol on our products is an indication that we have made a financial contribution to a packaging recovery system.

ETHICAL SOURCING

Many of our raw materials are sourced from our family farm in Malibu according to the principals of permaculture. What we can’t grow ourselves, we source from suppliers with a proven record of ethical and sustainable practices.

ONE TREE PLANTED

In 2020, we partnered with One Tree Planted to fight deforestation and global warming. For every product purchased at Retrouve.com, we plant one tree. Thanks to your patronage, we have already sponsored the planting of over 22,000 trees to date.

pact collection program

Most municipal manufacturing facilities do not have the ability to recycle small components commonly used in beauty packaging, such as caps and pumps. We have partnered with the Pact Collection Program, an organization that collects hard-to-recycle packaging or packaging that will not be recycled in curbside recycling programs to find the best use for that material, keeping it out of landfills.

PLASTIC COLLECTIVE

We are always working to reduce the plastic in our products. In addition to using glass bottles as much as possible, Retrouvé has partnered with the Plastic Collective to help offset our plastic footprint. As part of this partnership, we are investing in the impact of the ASASE Foundation in Accra, Ghana - a special initiative led by local women to collect ocean-bound plastic in one of the world's plastic pollution hotspots. ASASE then recycles this plastic to give it a second life in a wide range of locally produced recycled-content consumer and commercial products. Our investment funds ASASE collection and recycling activity equivalent to our plastic footprint for the years 2022 to 2025 inclusive.

SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING

We endeavor to make our outer packaging as small and light in weight as possible (while still being protective of the product inside), allowing for less waste and less heavy mailings, both of which reduce Retrouvé’s carbon footprint. We use recycled paper, and our kraft cardboard mailers are composed of 100% recycled materials and are 100% recyclable.

In addition, our mailers are FSC (Forest Stewardship Council®) certified to ensure that the material originates from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social, and economic benefits for local communities. Lastly, the boxes are printed with 100% recyclable, water-based and chemical-free ink.

We are currently working to refine the rest of our packaging to be equally sustainable.

VEGAN CERTIFIED

We are delighted that five of our products – Luminous Cleansing Elixir, Skin Brilliance Priming Pads, Conditioning Tonic with Chamomile, Nutrient Face Serum, and Balancing Face Oil – are certified vegan by Biorius. But the work isn’t done. We are constantly working to incorporate more vegan products into our line.
