Way of Life
Way of Life
Following the way of life I learned from my ancestors, we at BUJÓRI skincare practice biodiversity conservation in everything we do.
Integrating living systems is our way of life.
- Respect biodiversity
- not testing on animals
- formulating with pure, non-GMO ingredients that have been tested for heavy metals and contaminants
- formulating without synthetic colors, fragrances, preservatives
- following traditional crafting methods that are ecological, do not pollute or create any kind of waste
- supporting traditional crafts and gardening to preserve their skills, quality, and livelihood.
- Operate considerately
- maintaining a circular model to minimize our ecological impact - reducing, reusing, repurposing, regenerating, and recycling
- equipping our work spaces with recyclable and biodegradable implements and furniture
- using supplies that are biodegradable and safely compostable
- composting remnants of raw materials and supplies
- cleaning our work spaces with safe biodegradable solutions.
- Package consciously
- bottling all our skincare formulations in glass, as it can be reused or recycled endlessly
- etching labels on our product bottles, eliminating extra resources
- not using individual boxes to package our products, eliminating waste
- emailing your receipt, reducing the use of ink and paper
- using recycled and recyclable supplies for our shipping needs
- using sealing labels made from plant waste
- using zero-waste shipping labels
- using zero-waste water activated tape
- using paper made entirely from recovered trash, naturally biodegradable and compostable, and recyclable
- using eco-friendly algae ink, a revolutionary ink that utilizes algae cells for pigments making it more compatible with the recycling and composting process.
