  Refill Options for Sustainable Packaging

  After the initial use, you can reduce plastic consumption by only purchasing refills. We offer 900mL refill packs, with the packaging containing at least 41% less plastic compared to the main product. They're made from materials with excellent recyclability, so rinsing the inside with water and separating the cap and pouch before disposal greatly increases the chances of recycling.

  
  
  

  100% PCR Plastic Containers made from Recycled Materials

  To avoid producing new plastic, we've crafted our containers from 100% Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) plastic. This material is sourced from plastic products discarded by consumers, sorted, collected, and recycled. Please refill and reuse for as long as possible.

  
  
  

  Metal-free Pumps for Smooth Recycling After Use

  Commonly used in products like hand wash, shampoo, and body wash, pumps may appear plastic but contain metal springs, making recycling difficult. Our pumps are made from plastic, including the spring, facilitating easier recycling. While they may feel slightly different due to material characteristics, your warm welcome to this new effort to reduce waste on our planet is appreciated.
