Sustainability
We’re dedicated to creating a positive impact on the environment through sustainable practices and certifications that uphold our values. From our Bottle Return Program to eco-conscious packaging, we ensure that our entire process aligns with our mission to minimize waste and promote responsible consumption. Additionally, we’re proud to be ECOCERT COSMOS Natural and Organic, a testament to our commitment to using high-quality, environmentally friendly ingredients.
ECOCERT COSMOS
Our ECOCERT COSMOS certification guarantees that our products meet strict standards for natural and organic cosmetics. This certification ensures that:
Natural and Organic Ingredients: Our products are formulated with ingredients that are at least 95% natural or of natural origin. We prioritize organic farming and sustainable sourcing to ensure our formulations are safe for both your skin and the planet.
Eco-Friendly Formulations: We avoid synthetic chemicals, GMOs, and harmful preservatives. The COSMOS certification ensures that our products are free from parabens, synthetic fragrances, and other harmful substances.
Sustainable Manufacturing: The ECOCERT certification also covers the entire manufacturing process, ensuring that our production methods are environmentally friendly and that we adhere to responsible, sustainable practices.
Bottle Return Program
To further reduce our environmental impact, we’ve implemented a Bottle Return Program that encourages the reuse of our packaging. Here’s how it works:
Return & Earn: Bring back your empty bottles to earn a $0.75 credit towards your next Cocoon purchase.
Return Locations: You can return your bottles at our HQ store or spa in Kitchener, Ontario, and with our retail partners:
- Eco Den (Mount Forest)
- Holistic Nutrition (Waterloo)
- Truth Beauty (Waterloo)
Shipping Returns: If you're not local, email us at hello@cocoonapothecary.com for a shipping label. We request a minimum of 10 bottles per return to reduce shipping emissions.
Packaging & Recycling Information
Our commitment to sustainability extends to every aspect of our packaging:
Recyclable Packaging: We use recyclable materials like glass, aluminum, and paperboard to reduce environmental impact. Plastic use is minimized, and when necessary, we opt for recyclable plastic components.
PACT Partnership: For items that cannot be reused, we partner with **PACT**, an organization dedicated to responsibly recycling cosmetic packaging. This ensures that even the most challenging components are processed in an eco-friendly manner.
Minimal Plastic Use: We are continually exploring innovative alternatives to reduce plastic use in our packaging, ensuring that we contribute to a more sustainable future.
