CARING FOR THE PLANET

Not only have we designed our brand with the intention to care for skin, but a brand that cares for the planet and the world we all share too. We are on a journey to become more sustainable, to do the least harm to the environment and strive towards a less wasteful planet. We are therefore committed to continually finding new ways to optimise the use of materials. Here are some steps we have already taken towards become more sustainable:

PACKAGING

  • Our bath and body products are packaged in environmentally friendly primary packaging which is 100% recyclable, PVC free and BPA free.
  • The body wash and body lotion bottles which we have sourced are made from a minimum of 50% post-consumer recycled PET plastic. We are looking at ways to make our tubs the same way.
  • We use 100% FSC certified sustainably sourced board, made with a minimum of 50% recycled content, with all our facial skincare single product cartons made from 100% recycled content.
  • All labels are printed on recyclable backing material which we ensure is recycled correctly.
  • We produce our products as close to home as possible in South Africa, to keep transport related fuel consumption to a minimum.
  • We urge you please, to always re-use and recycle wherever possible.

FORMULATIONS

We care about all creatures on our planet. This is why all our products are vegan friendly. All our products are never tested on animals because we do not condone the testing of ingredients or products on animals. We are extremely proud that our products are endorsed by Beauty Without Cruelty. Discover more information regarding Beauty without Cruelty here, www.bwcsa.co.za

We use biodegradable foaming agents in our rinse off products.

Our formulations containing scrub particles do not contain any microbeads which are harmful to the ocean. Our special scrub particles are made from natural ingredients which are safe for the environment.

Our UV protection formulations are formulated without Oxybenzone and Octinoxate. These ingredients have been under review for killing coral in the oceans.

OUR FACE JARS

It is estimated that by 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. It is evident that because of our impact, marine ecosystems are negatively affected by trash. In an effort to move toward reducing the impact we have on the environment, Iwori has partnered with our suppliers and WildTrustTM to offset the plastic used in our facial skincare Day and Night Cream jars to certify these products as 100% plastic waste neutral.

This means that for each Iwori facial skincare jar made, an equal amount of plastic is collected from the polluted water of Durban Ports, through the Blue Port Project, and successfully recycled. This process creates employment, improves the natural South African environment and helps us work towards a plastic waste neutral future.
