Sustainability

sustainability

At Retrouvé, our mission is to minimize our environmental impact
through the ingredients that we use, the packaging of our products, and the way in which we conduct our business.

ethical sourcing

Some of our raw materials are sourced from our family farm in
Malibu according to the principles of permaculture, a method of sustainable, organic agro-forestry. What we can’t grow ourselves, we source from suppliers with a proven record of ethical and sustainable practices.

green dot

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

one tree planted

In 2020, we joined forces with One Tree Planted to fight deforestation and global warming. For every product purchased at Retrouve.com, we plant one tree. Thanks to your generosity, we have sponsored planting over 13,000 trees.

pact collection program

Most municipal manufacturing facilities do not have the ability to recycle small components commonly used in beauty packaging, such as the 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.

sustainable packaging

Our new boxes are significantly smaller and lighter in weight, allowing for less waste and 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 environemntal, 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. For marketing assets, we make every effort to print on 100% FSC-certified post-consumer recycled stock using eco-friendly ink.

plastic collective

We are always working to reduce the plastic in our products, In addition to using glass bottles as much as possible, we have partnered with the Plastic Collective to help offset our plastic footprint. Plastic Collective is a leading global resource to provide solutions to the plastic waste epidemic.

vegan

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