Compostable, Reusable or Recyclable
Product Packaging
Supporting a minimal waste lifestyle.
Mindfully choosing non-wasteful packaging isn't just a nice to have. It's a need to have.
From the inks used on our packaging to the mindful selections of materials eliminated or employed based on footprint, availability and recyclability, we present consumers with not only a great product alternative but one that has been carefully crafted with like minded suppliers striving to set market expectations high as it relates to environmental responsibility.
the world's first stone paper box
FerroLiner
Our outer eyeliner packaging is made of stone paper with a much smaller impact than even biodegradable packaging in terms of production. Stone paper is a new type of printing substrate which requires far fewer resources in its production process than traditional paper production.
Among many other interestingly sustainable features, our eyeliner boxes are composed of 80% calcium carbonate and 20% high density polyethylene (HDPE) which make the boxes endlessly recyclable, uses no trees, water or additives and generate no toxic emissions during incineration.

FerroLashes
Our trays are the first of their kind and made of Sugar Cane Bagasse. Biodegradable and compostable - Bagasse is a natural byproduct of sugarcane refinement. Care to see them compost yourself, watch it here!
Our drawer style outer boxes are durable and printed using soy based inks and will last you the life of your lashes and more! Once you're done with the lashes, remove the tray and you have a bobby pin holder, or trinket box.
Or simply recycle them, since there are no magnets or glitter, there's no cutting required, no hoops - simply recycle.

Tree planting
Invest in You, Invest in the Planet
You want to feel good about your purchases, we want to feel good about being in business. So, while you invest in your beauty routine, you invest in the environment!
Trees play a very important role in mitigating the effects of climate change by sequestering CO2 and removing pollutants from our air.
As a Tree Canada Friend and with the support of our beloved customers, we donate a portion of our sales to support the National Greening Program with Tree Canada.
Tree Canada is the only national non-profit organization dedicated to planting and nurturing trees in rural and urban environments. Through their programs, research and educational efforts, they have helped restore tree cover in areas hit by natural disasters, guided communities in managing their urban forests, helped green 660 schoolyards and organized urban forest conferences. To date, with community partners and sponsors, they have planted more than 82 million trees.
Tree Canada's National Greening Program works across Canada to mass-plant seedlings, targeting areas where there is a need for reforestation or afforestation due to human activity or other causes.
