Climate-Adaptive Sustainability for Skin and Planet

LILIXIR - a brand that cares and contributes to overall well-being

At LILIXIR, sustainability is not an afterthought — it is a core design principle that aligns with our philosophy of Climate-Adaptive Botanical Skincare. We believe that responsible beauty must support skin resilience, minimize environmental impact, and respect the ecosystems and communities involved in every step of creation.

Our approach integrates botanical formulation science, ethical sourcing, recyclable materials, accessibility, and inclusive design — all rooted in transparency and continual improvement.

Our Sustainability Philosophy

Beauty should not come at the expense of the planet. True sustainability means thoughtful decisions at every level — from ingredient selection to packaging design to long-term skin health.

Rather than adopt simplistic “green” language, we define sustainability as a holistic framework that supports:

• Skin’s ability to adapt to environmental and lifestyle stressors
• Ethical sourcing and traceability
• Recyclability and minimal environmental footprint
• Inclusivity and accessibility for all people
• Cruelty-free production and integrity in claims

This framework aligns with our broader vision for skincare that is responsive, resilient, and responsible.

Climate-Adaptive Botanical Skincare is Sustainability in Practice

Climate as a Lens for Sustainability

Climate change, pollution, blue light exposure, humidity fluctuations, and environmental stressors are daily realities for skin. Your skin adapts constantly to these conditions, and supporting this adaptation is an essential expression of responsible skincare.

At LILIXIR we approach sustainability through the lens of Climate-Adaptive Botanical Skincare — a category we helped pioneer and have defined in depth on our Climate-Adaptive Botanical Skincare page  and Climate-Adaptive Skincare Knowledge Hub. 

This approach reflects a commitment to:

• Supporting long-term skin resilience, not temporary fixes
• Using botanical formulations that work with skin biology
• Reducing the need for overconsumption of products
• Encouraging mindful skincare routines

Ingredient Integrity and Ethical Sourcing

Plant-First, Organic-Focused Formulation

Every LILIXIR product is formulated with 100% plant-based ingredients, many of which meet organic certification standards at the ingredient level. We maintain documentation for all formulations to ensure traceability, safety, and transparency.

Rather than providing a generic claim, we uphold ingredient integrity by:

• Sourcing certified organic botanicals wherever possible
• Verifying non-GMO cultivation and ethical practices
• Prioritizing ingredients that support resilience and barrier function

This approach respects both skin and planet by avoiding unnecessary synthetics and maximizing botanical efficacy.

Our Sustainability Commitments

Tree Planting Initiative

For every LILIXIR product sold, we plant a tree through vetted reforestation partners, supporting biodiversity and carbon sequestration.

Carbon Footprint Goals

We are working toward a measurable reduction in greenhouse gas emissions across manufacturing and logistics by an increased amount over the next few years.

Plastic Reduction

Our formulations are designed with minimum plastic use, prioritizing glass, screened biodegradable materials, FSC-certified cartons, and mono-material components where recycling is accessible.

• Certified Organic Ingredients
• Vegan and Cruelty-Free Verified by Leaping Bunny
• Packaging recyclability statements backed by standard bodies
• FSC Certified Paper

Ethical Sourcing and Organic Integrity

LILIXIR sources its botanical ingredients from certified organic, non-GMO, and socially responsible suppliers. We audit and verify practices based on third-party organic standards (USDA Organic, Ecocert, etc.) and prioritize suppliers who maintain:

• Fair labor practices
• Environmentally regenerative cultivation
• Water and soil conservation methods
• This aligns with what leads in sustainability practice.

Ethically sourced ingredients

Ethically sourced ingredients are another essential aspect of sustainable beauty. Our high-performance ingredients are obtained in a way that supports the welfare of the environment and the people involved in their production. Our brand also ensures that the communities that provide the ingredients are paid fairly and treated with respect.

LILIXIR premium quality plant-based ingredients start with their cultivation methods!

It's about how the seeds are planted, farming methods and preservation. Sourcing ethical ingredients allows us to ensure environmental sustainability and at the same time help you reconnect with nature through our premium beauty products.

Looking at what we buy beyond the more conventional factors of cost, quality, and delivery time constitutes responsible sourcing. This is one of our supply chain operations' strategic goals, and it means that we look into morality, labor laws, and social and environmental concerns while procuring goods across all purchasing categories and regional clusters.

Eco-Conscious Packaging You Can Recycle

Purposeful Packaging Design

Packaging sustainability is complex — especially in luxury skincare where product stability and hygiene are essential.

Our packaging strategy prioritizes:

• Glass primary containers — inert and recyclable
• FSC-certified paper for outer cartons
• Paper boxes — FSC-certified and recyclable, embossed elements to reduce the ink
• Droppers and caps — designed for separation and recycling where local infrastructure allows
  

How to recycle LILIXIR packaging:

• Flatten the box and rinse the glass bottle after use
• Separate the dropper from the bottle and pipette
• Recycle glass and paper according to local guidelines
• Dispose of mixed components through appropriate channels

We recommend with all products and packaging to minimize the amount you use, re-use the packaging before recycling.

- REDUCE

- REUSE

- RECYCLE.

Make sure you buy only the products you need, in smaller quantities, and use them completely!!! Choose to avoid plastic as much as possible and choose recyclable packaging.

We continually evaluate new materials and design for circularity without compromising product integrity.

Climate Action and Reforestation

Each Product Helps Restore Nature

To support broader environmental health, we plant one tree for every LILIXIR product sold — contributing to reforestation and ecosystem support.

This action reflects our belief that businesses should play a positive role in climate solutions. While tree planting alone doesn’t solve climate change, it is one tangible way we contribute to ecosystem regeneration.

Customers can also choose to plant additional trees at checkout, enhancing their impact.

Planting trees to offset our CO2 emissions

Planting a tree is one of the most effective ways to mitigate the harmful effects of carbon emissions. 

In our commitment to environmental sustainability, we have implemented a meaningful initiative. For every bottle sold, we pledge to plant a tree, ensuring a tangible contribution to reforestation efforts. Additionally, we offer our valued customers the opportunity to amplify their impact by choosing to plant more trees during the checkout process. Together, we can create a greener and more sustainable future for our planet.

By planting trees, we actively contribute to mitigating the detrimental impact of carbon emissions, making it one of the most powerful methods available. Trees play a vital role in our ecosystem as they absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, release oxygen, and bestow a multitude of environmental advantages. Notably, they significantly reduce air pollution levels and provide crucial support for biodiversity conservation.

We will plant a tree for every bottle sold and offer our customers the option to plant more at the checkout.

Climate and Emissions Strategy

We actively:

• Monitor emissions across production and fulfillment
• Partner with low-impact logistics solutions
• Optimize regional distribution to shorten transport emissions
• Use renewable energy offsets where feasible
  

Climate Change Impact

Sustainability for us is about the capacity for Earth's biosphere and human civilization to co-exist.⁠ We should strive to live more sustainable, it is important for environmental protection, social and economic development.⁠

Climate change is a significant issue that is affecting the world. The beauty industry is one of the major contributors to environmental degradation, and it is essential to address this issue. Sustainable beauty brands like LILIXIR are working to reduce their carbon footprint and minimize their impact on the environment. They do this by using eco-friendly packaging, sourcing ingredients responsibly, and reducing waste.

At LILIXIR, we think that the biggest driver of climate change and environmental degradation is the fact that we’re consuming too many resources at an unsustainable rate. We are working towards increasing awareness on the impact non-recyclable materials have on the planet and encourage people to reduce, reuse, recycle their cosmetic packaging and reduce the cosmetic waste.

We want to make sure that our ingredients and packaging are sustainable and ethically sourced, have a low carbon footprint and have no ecological impacts.⁠

Sustainable Cosmetic Packaging

Our team believes in taking a holistic approach when developing our sustainable packaging solutions!⁠ It has to be high quality while also reducing our impact on the environment. This is a win for us, our customers and our planet.⁠

Sustainable cosmetic packaging is an important aspect of sustainable beauty. Conventional cosmetic packaging is often made from materials that are harmful to the environment, such as plastic. Sustainable beauty brands like LILIXIR use packaging that is made from eco-friendly materials such as glass, metal, or biodegradable materials like bamboo. These materials can be recycled, composted, or reused.

Sustainable packaging for LILIXIR is eco-friendly and doesn't contribute to the further depletion of natural resources. We think about the sourcing, development, and use of packaging solutions that have minimal environmental impact and CO2 footprint.

LILIXIR is committed to make your products as eco-friendly and sustainable as possible! From the box, ribbon, peanuts and bottles to products themselves. 

Accessibility and Inclusive Design

  

Sustainability Includes People

We believe sustainability must be inclusive and accessibility.

That’s why:

• Braille is incorporated on our packaging — supporting individuals with visual impairments
• Our formulations are designed to be inclusive of all skin tones, types, and genders
• We uphold principles of ethical treatment and equitable access for all users

This commitment reflects a broad definition of sustainability that includes both societal and environmental well-being.

Certified cruelty-free by the Leaping Bunny Program LILIXIR products are responsibly developed with compassion and science-backed safety.

Transparency and Continuous Improvement

Ongoing Responsibility, Not Static Claims

We maintain a commitment to:

• Honest communication about what we do
• Continual reassessment of materials and processes
• Sharing meaningful progress when it is verified and contextualized

Rather than present incomplete or proprietary metrics, we focus on progressive refinement of the systems that govern our brand — formulation, sourcing, packaging, and caregiving.

As our sustainability practices evolve, this page will evolve with them.

Responsibility with Integrity

Sustainability at LILIXIR is grounded in rigorous formulation science, ethical sourcing, inclusive design, and responsible environmental participation. We do not rely on buzzwords — we rely on intentional decision-making that respects both skin and planet.
