Sustainability Packaging Milestones
At Juice Beauty EVERYDAY is EARTH DAY. We take sustainability seriously. It’s one of our 5 Eco-values and today Juice Beauty is proud to announce huge milestones towards complete sustainability.
Juice Beauty, as the OG “Original Green” of Clean Beauty, has been cleaning up the Beauty Space since 2005. We take our commitment to protecting the environment seriously, which is why we are continuing to climb the ladder of sustainability to transition all skincare products to sustainable packaging.
Sustainable Packaging Focus
To help save the planet, at Juice Beauty we are focusing on the elimination of virgin plastic and thus have been busy designing and converting all plastic bottles, to recycled Ocean & Land Waste Plastic or bioresin. We already have almost 40% of our packaging in sustainable glass.
Recent studies show that the majority, up to 95%, of plastic packaging, is only used once¹ and at least 8 million tons of plastics leak into the ocean each year – which is equivalent to dumping the contents of one garbage truck into the ocean per minute.² By 2050 experts estimate there will be more plastic than fish by weight in the oceans.¹
By using recycled/post-consumer ocean & land plastic and other more sustainable materials instead of petroleum-based virgin plastic we are taking more steps in reducing waste in our environment. And with our recent conversion to solar powered headquarters and distribution center, we are leading the way in cleaning up the beauty industry.

What is Your Sustainability Commitment?
As consumers, we have the power each time you make a purchase. Our choices of what we purchase are our ‘votes’ for the products and companies that we’d like to see thrive in this world.
So, whether you are shopping online for a new favorite snack or new sweater or your next moisturizer…. We recommend that you take some extra time to look ‘beyond the product’—at the ingredients, the packaging and the company values—and decide whether you’d like to make ‘sustainability’ one of your ‘purchasing values.
At Juice Beauty, we hope that you’ll cast your vote for us and help make the world a more sustainable place.
