If you look closely, we also have some pineapple leather in our display cabinet.

To date, the sales of these refills has saved more than 79 tons of carbon emissions.

Its not just about offering refillsour returns program also focuses on refilling, rather than recycling.

When theyre sent back to us, we sterilize them, refill them and then re-sell them.

If it cant be refilled, we pay for it to be properly recycled through our specialized partner.

Rowses tagline is plant-based beauty with a purpose.

We spent hours talking about how beautiful the natural world was.

Working with natureand the seasonshelped us create a more earth-friendly formula.

We also create our own perfumes with essential oils from the plants.

They take advantage of the trend and its not doing anything good to the planet.
