SKINLABO
Great impact on your Skin, Zero impact on the Planet
OUR PLASTIC NEUTRAL PROMISE
REMOVING AS MUCH PLASTIC FROM NATURE AS USED IN OUR PRODUCTS
“We firmly believe that prioritizing the well-being of your body should never entail causing harm to our planet. As a brand, Skin Labo feels the responsibility to minimize the adverse environmental effects of our products.
While we do use plastic, we are committed to improving our packaging and actively contributing to addressing the global plastic crisis. Plastic neutrality concretely represents commitment towards a sustainable tomorrow”
HOW IT WORKS
-
CALCULATE
The first step in our journey was to understand where we are at, in order to inform future action. We established our current plastic footprint and committed to pledging a percentage of every product purchase towards the removal of nature-bound plastic waste.
-
FINANCE
We fund the elimination of as much plastic waste from oceans and landfills as we produce through our collaboration with vetted rePurpose Impact Projects, which are empowering waste workers to tackle plastic waste in local communities.
-
REDUCE
Going Plastic Neutral is a continuous commitment, and that’s why we are working with rePurpose Global to develop a future roadmap reducing the use of virgin plastics in our products — and building a more circular business and delivery model.
OUR PROMISE AS A BRAND IS TO BRING VISIBLE RESULTS, WHY SHOULD IT BE ANY DIFFERENT WITH SUSTAINABILITY?
IMPACT THAT UNITES THE WORLD
When we choose to take action on our plastic waste, we create meaningful impact in a world without borders. We fund waste management facilities and empower local communities in geographies without the necessary infrastructure to remove, recover, and recycle plastic waste that would have otherwise remained in the environment for centuries.
SUPERCHARGING SYSTEMIC IMPACT
First, we work with vetted and experienced circular economy and waste management ventures. Next, we fund programs that enable these ventures to scale up plastic waste avoidance, removal, recovery, and recycling efforts. Finally, through thorough due diligence, we ensure adherence to global environmental and labor standards.
It takes an army to fight the ongoing plastic waste crisis, and with rePurpose Global, we are able to create tangible environmental and socio-economic impact. We’re not only helping remove plastic waste from the environment, but we’re also enabling steady livelihoods for forgotten waste workers across the globe.

SKINLABO’S
PLASTIC NEUTRAL JOURNEY
STEP 1: SUSTAINABLE SOURCING
Clean formulas, ensuring that at least 90% ingredients are of natural origin, operating a responsible supply chain based in Italy, and the care of people inside and outside the office - all of these have always been perceived as a license to operate.
STEP 2: THE PLASTIC NEUTRAL SHIFT
Building on rePurpose Global’s belief that businesses can positively impact the environment and society, SkinLabo has gone Plastic Neutral. Through our partnership, we are taking the first step to systemic environmental change — financing waste management infrastructure and empowering marginalized workers fighting the plastic waste crisis on the frontlines.
STEP 3: THE FINAL DESTINATION
Reducing the use of plastics is mandatory, but some plastics have a valuable purpose in the cosmetics industry and contrary to common belief, they still represent the most sustainable solution. While keeping engaged in finding better alternatives, through partnership with rePurpose Global, SkinLabo is empowering marginalized workers on the frontlines of our fight against the global plastic epidemic. The mission to act conscious will always challenge SkinLabo to look at how to improve sustainability goals. "Leaving no footprints behind" is what the brand aspires to and they are always looking for ways to enable their customers to make informed choices that they feel good about.
