RECYCLABLE PACKAGING
Every Lola’s Apothecary product is packaging in recyclable glass and cardboard, and they are working on a refill scheme with their spa partners to encourage reusing the packaging. When it comes to shipping, everything from their wholesale orders is recycled, and when they send out their finished products, they use biodegradable and eco-friendly packing materials.
CLEAN INGREDIENTS AND RESPONSIBLE SOURCING
No harsh chemicals are used at any point in the production of Lola’s Apothecary products, and everything is made without propylene glycol, micro beads or mica. No materials are derived from animals, and they do not use animal testing. Thanks to their small batch-focus, Lola’s will be able to trace 100% of the materials that go into each fragrance within six to 12 months. They also work with each of their suppliers to ensure that every raw material is sourced sustainably and within the principles of fair trade.
MINIMAL WASTE AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Since every Lola’s Apothecary product is handmade in small batches, they are able to ensure minimal waste through their production process. That handcrafting also means that very little machinery is involved in the process, keeping their energy consumption low.
FAIR LABOUR AND EQUAL PAY
Lola’s Apothecary is run by a small team of employees in Devon, and they take care to ensure that they are well looked after and provided with a safe working environment and fair wages for all. They encourage those same policies for every supplier they work with.
