WE LOVE REUSABLE, RECYCLABLE, BIODEGRADABLE & COMPOSTABLE.


WE DON'T USE INGREDIENTS HARMFUL TO THE ENVIRONMENT

At DR.HC Cosmetic Lab, we banned hundreds of ingredients including silicone/ siloxanes or microbeads, not because they are harmful to consumers' health but because they are just not good to the environment. Silicone is very durable and won't biodegrade. It is rarely recycled properly and can end up in landfills, plus, it's not infinitely recyclable, and will need to be downcycled. On the other hand, microbeads can have damaging effects on both environment and human health. This is due to their composition, ability to adsorb toxins and potential to transfer up the marine food chain, and they are almost impossible to remove from the environment.



WE USE ECO-FRIENDLY PACKAGING

We use environmentally friendly reusable and recyclable packaging. We use glass bottles and jars as much as possible. For plastic containers we use the recyclable ones in order to reduce plastic pollution.



WE REDUCE MATERIALS WASTE

We are trying to reduce the waste of materials and saving natural resources in many ways. At DR.HC, we have products in Refill Type so that customers can reuse their cosmetics bottles. We also sell products with the choice of "No Box" so that customers don't need to get the outer packaging (like unnecessary paper boxes which will be eventually thrown away). By doing this way, they help us to reduce packaging materials, and together, we contribute to saving natural resources. Learn more about this from our Save The Earth Collection 



WE USE ECO-FRIENDLY SHIPPING

Do you know that the Packing Peanuts in your order shipping are compostable? Yes, you can compost our packing peanuts. They are made from 100% sorghum starch which are all-natural and no toxic chemicals. You can toss the peanuts on your lawn for fertilizer, you also can add them to your compost pile, or you can recycle/ reuse them as well.
We also say NO with plastic bags. We wrap products in lovely paper bags or cloth bags for reuse.
