Zero Waste Beauty Products | REN Clean Skincare

Clean to planet pledge

Zero Waste is at our core. We are passionate about protecting our planet’s resources and committed to reducing the waste produced at every stage of our product's journey. We believe that skincare should work for everyone, including our planet – because great skin should never cost the earth.

Positive Activism

We actively collaborate with other Zero Waste advocates like the Surfrider Foundation, who share our values and vision. Through these alliances, our unified call for change can be heard louder, which makes our sustainable steps forward larger.

Empowerment through education

We want to empower through education, by providing access to information that anyone can use to start their own Zero Waste journey. We collaborate with positive activists, even our WeAreAllies competitors, in an open exchange to elevate our collective cause.

Sustainably Minded Development

We know that Zero Waste doesn’t stop at packaging. We consciously formulate our skincare using sustainable and upcycled ingredients wherever possible, sourced responsibly to help preserve and protect their native ecosystems for future generations to enjoy.

Zero Waste

We take action to reduce the waste that we produce at every stage of our product's journey. From expanding our Zero Waste sample and travel sizes to reusable packaging for shipping, to sustainable solutions behind the scenes – we pledge to make every step count.

Recyclable Glass Jars

We upgraded the packaging of our masks with a new 20% PCR glass jar and a widely recyclable aluminium lid. Glass is one of the most circular materials on earth, because it can be recycled endlessly without ever reducing its quality, and aluminium is infinitely recyclable, with an estimated 75% of the aluminium that has ever been produced still in circulation today.
