Better Beauty.
Make the swap to clean beauty and save 25%.
We want to encourage you to make clean beauty swaps to your routine, so between 20th September and 3rd October 2023 we’ll be offering you 25% off your entire skin, face and body care shop if you bring your conventional beauty product in store (empty or full)*.
We believe what goes on your body is as important as what goes in it. That’s why our beauty and body care standards go beyond typical “clean beauty” claims.
Our high standards apply to all beauty and body care products in our stores. We ban 180+ ingredients and counting, and our experts review the latest research on beauty and body care ingredients for many factors including possible impacts on the environment and human health.
Check out our full list of banned ingredients here.
How do I claim the 25% discount?
Simply pop into store and drop your conventional skin, face or body care product into the designated bins, and one of our Team Members will be able to provide you with a 25% off voucher to spend on your entire beauty shop in any of our UK stores. It can be any product at all - whether it’s an old favourite that you’ve found out contains harmful chemicals, a product that doesn’t have rigorous animal welfare standards or just something your skin isn’t get along with, you can find a new clean option with us. Find your nearest store here.
How long is the offer running for?
The offer will start on 20th September and run until 3rd October 2023. You must visit a store during these dates to claim the discount.
Where will the full and partially full containers go?
All beauty containers that are full, or partially full will be collected by Toiletries Amnesty, a social, ethical and environmental organisation that makes access to hygiene essentials easy for those in need, while stopping masses of surplus products from going to waste. Toiletries Amnesty donates the products to homeless shelters and hostels, women’s refuges, mental health services, end of life care hospices, food banks, NHS Trust services, cancer patients support, refugee support services, LGBTQ+ groups, prison services, childrens centres, young peoples services, schools, colleges, community groups, and other organisations that need our support. Find out more, and donate here.
Where will the empty containers go?
The empty products will be recycled by My Group Ltd, a family-run business that has been at the forefront of recycling for 30 years from four unique sites in Yorkshire.
They will process the containers through various methods, but these often include an initial shred to open the structure and release any product which their lab will assess for onward use within their processes.
Most non-hazards streams from cosmetics are composted to create a CLO (Compost-like-Output) that ensures no harmful greenhouse gases are released, the carbon is captured, and the organic fractions are broken down which reduces volume by up to 90%. This material is often used on brownfield regeneration sites or land used to grow biofuel crops. The containers are continually shredded and washed until they are of a small enough size to be blended with other plastics to be formed into plastic boards that can be used for furniture making and joinery.
