CODEX LABS, ANTU REFRESHING GEL CLEANSER

Founded by dermatologists and ethnobotanists, Codex Labs’ Antu Refreshing Gel Cleanser is designed with sustainability in mind, reducing carbon footprint and supporting fair trade sourcing at every aspect of its creation.

TONER

MELIXIR, VEGAN BALANCING TONER

Packed with antioxidant polyphenols and green tea extract, this toner will soothe and hydrate even the most sensitive skin. True to the brand’s dedication to sustainability, the product is presented in paper packaging that uses as few materials, additives and auxiliaries as possible.

SERUM

IREN SHIZEN, FOREVER YOUNG ANTI-AGEING SERUM

IREN Shizen’s peptide-powered serum tackles signs of rapid ageing with the help of Goji berry extract, smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, evening out your complexion and improving the elasticity of your skin. In its effort for ethical production, the brand has its serum produced in small batches to prevent waste, locally sourced, and encapsulated in glass and PCR plastic packaging.

ESSENCE

FIELDS OF YARROW, EAU DE FLEUR FLORAL ESSENCE

This organic essence contains a myriad of anti-ageing and anti-inflammatory agents that leave the skin feeling rejuvenated after use. The essence also comes packed in boxes that are part of the Print Green program and printed with ink that’s free of petroleum and less harmful to the environment.

EYE TREATMENT

L:a Bruket’s COSMOS-certified eye cream is vegan and made of 98.9 per cent natural origin ingredients that are free of petrochemicals, silicones, parabens, phenoxyethanol, synthetic fragrances and dyes — aiding in the reduction of dark circles, fine lines and puffiness around the eyes. “It feels quite cooling and soothing just moments after application,” says Ian Lee.

HAIR PRODUCT

SOL DE JANEIRO, BRAZILIAN JOIA SHAMPOO

Ideal for fine to medium hair, this vegan product does a lot more than ordinary shampoos, treating damaged hair suffering from dryness, frizz, split ends and tresses affected by heavy formulas.
