the bottles

I am a strong believer in doing anything possible to help our Mother Earth, and I wanted my brand to embody these values as much as I do. The serums and moisturisers from Harvest Skincare are available in glass bottles, and all other products from the range are packaged in Australian sourced, recyclable PET 🇦🇺♻️

for orders being shipped - hero packaging+ Recycled satchels

As an avid online shopper (the local delivery drivers and I are on a first name basis), there are more days than not in a week where I am receiving a parcel. Exciting? yes, Expensive? also yes, but good for the environment? NO 🙁 These days your online goodies most likely arrive wrapped in plastic, in a plastic bag, sealed with, you guessed it, plastic. One of the first things I looked into when designing my business plan was an environmentally friendly alternative to plastic postage satchels, if I couldn’t find anything suitable I wasn’t going to go ahead, as I didn’t want my brand to be associated with contributing to landfill. Luckily, I found Hero Packaging. These bad boys are ZERO WASTE and 100% BIODEGRADABLE. They are made purely from cornstarch and sugarcane 🙌🏼 In a commercial compostable environment, it will break-down within 90 days. At home, it may take up to 120 days. Harvest Skincare orders will be shipped to you in this plasticy feeling NON PLASTIC satchel, you won’t know the difference, but the Earth will, saving the turtles one bag of skincare goodness at a time 🐢If a HERO satchel is not available or suitable to post your products, they will be sent to you in a 100% recycled Australia Post Padded Satchel.

for orders being picked up/delivered locally

Whether you are getting your order shipped to you, delivered by yours truly, or picking them up yourself, you will not find any plastic! Local orders will be delivered recycled kraft paper bags. For every two bags purchased, one tree is planted! How bloody amazing is that?! You’ve heard the saying kill two birds with one stone? Well now you can plant one tree with two Harvest orders. Save your skin and our Earth in one fell swoop!

Green wrap

So, incase you haven’t noticed yet, I am big on recycling and producing as little waste as possible. This is why unlike most skincare brands, the bottles do not come in boxes 📦 If your order requires padding and wrapping, it will be done so in Green Wrap. What’s Green Wrap? I am so glad you asked. Green Wrap is an eco friedly BIODEGRADABLEDABLE protective packaging, making it a fabulous alternative to traditional plastic bubble wrap. Green wrap also means you won’t be hit with that surprise confetti explosion that’s often associated with opening a product packed with those pesky foam peanuts. A win for you, and the environment ☺️
