Lontreau's Sustainable Commitment

Everyday, consumers are becoming increasingly conscious of the environmental footprint of the products they use. From the ingredients to the packaging, every aspect of a product's lifecycle is scrutinized for its sustainability practices. At Lontreau, we understand the importance of preserving our planet for future generations, and we also understand the negative impact businesses can have on our environment. Because of this, we are dedicated to implementing eco-friendly practices at every step of our production process.


One of the key pillars of our sustainability efforts lies in our packaging. Unlike many other skincare brands, we have opted for metal-free packaging that is entirely recyclable. This decision was made with the intention of minimizing waste and making it easier for our customers to do their part in recycling. What sets our packaging apart is that it can be disposed of directly into recycling bins, without the need for disassembly or separation. This is a stark contrast to traditional airless pumps, which often contain metal springs that render them non-recyclable.


We are also proud to be a part of 1% for the Planet, an organization dedicated to supporting environmental initiatives around the globe. As members of this organization, we pledge to donate 1% of our revenue each year to environmental causes. This commitment allows us to contribute to projects that promote sustainability, conservation, and environmental awareness.


In addition to our partnership with 1% for the Planet, we are also actively involved in the rePurpose Global Plastic Negative Initiative. This innovative program goes beyond traditional carbon offsetting by addressing the issue of plastic pollution directly. Here's how it works: we calculate the amount of plastic waste generated by our operations each year and collaborate with rePurpose Global to remove 2.5 times that amount of plastic from the environment. 


Last year alone, we helped remove over 183 pounds of plastic waste from the earth through our partnership with rePurpose Global. Our contributions support waste workers at Project Neela Sapana, who are instrumental in the success of the Plastic Negative Program. We are immensely proud to be a part of this initiative and to play a role in tackling the global plastic crisis.

 

In addition to our sustainable packaging and our commitment to environmental initiatives, we also prioritize the use of sustainably sourced ingredients in our products whenever we can. An example of this is one of our key ingredients which is produced with upcycled cranberries. By repurposing cranberries that would otherwise go to waste, we not only minimize food waste but also support sustainable agricultural practices. This dedication to using ethically sourced ingredients ensures that our products are not only good for your skin but also for the planet.

Choosing brands like Lontreau can also contribute to reducing plastic waste and minimizing single-purpose skincare products. Our line of multipurpose products is packed with powerhouse ingredients designed to address a variety of common skin concerns, such as hydration, protection, anti-aging, and brightening. By opting for versatile skincare solutions, you can streamline your routine and minimize the need for excess packaging, helping to reduce plastic consumption and environmental impact.

At Lontreau, we understand that sustainability is often used as a buzzword. Our team works daily to ensure that we are committed to minimizing our environmental footprint and promoting eco-conscious practices. We understand that small changes can make a big difference, and we are constantly striving to improve and innovate in the realm of sustainability.


As we approach Earth Month this April, we invite you to consider asking yourself what companies you support and what their impact is on this earth. Together, we can make a positive impact on our planet and create a more sustainable world for generations to come.
