ECO WARRIORS. Environmental welfare is a cause close to our hearts. At Medik8, we reduce our environmental footprint at every opportunity. We choose to do all this because it is better for the environment and can provide formulations which are better for the skin. We couldn’t do it any other way.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

GREEN CHEMISTRY⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our buildings are run from 100% renewable energy sources. Green chemistry is the science of making products using an energy efficient process; from the sourcing of ingredients to initial research and final manufacturing. We use cold processes during manufacturing wherever possible. This means many of our formulas can be blended at room temperature to save on heating large amounts of product that requires lots of energy.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

SAVING FORESTS⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When it comes to paper-based materials, not only are we recyclable, we are made of mostly recycled materials. Medik8 use FSC certified card for all of our cartons, which means it has been sourced from well-managed forests or recycled sources. You will see the FSC symbol on all of our packaging as a mark of dedication to the cause.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

PRELOVED GLASS⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We love using glass. All of our serum bottles are made from glass. All of our pipettes are made from glass. Since 2018, Medik8 glass bottles contain 40% recycled glass and we are looking to increase this number in the near future. Wherever we can implement eco-friendly packaging, we will try and one of our primary focuses is to increase the use of recycled materials in our packaging.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
