RECYCLING

Organoderm has developed a unique recycling program. OD is thoroughly committed to helping preserve our precious resources and not add, in any way possible, to our ever enlarging landfills.

All of our containers, caps, foamers, and tubes are either made of PETE(#1 on recycling code) or Polypropelene(# 5 on recycling code), which are both readily and fully recyclable. You will find the recyclable symbol and code imprinted on the bottom of all our containers. We even use a special ink on our labels to make sure that it does not interfere but actually facilitates the recycling process.

We experimented with PLA,which is a corn resin for our containers, but found few companies that process this material, and its actual rate of decomposition in the ground is extremely slow. Also, there is still concern of containers made of PLA having a low melting point. If this changes in the future, we will re-consider its use for Organoderm skin care products. However, it is probably more prudent to use corn to feed the world population rather than using it to make containers for skin care products!

Organoderm product sizes have also been purposely made larger than the skin care industry standards in order to minimize our carbon footprint. Because of this, we use about 30% less container material overall. Finally, we use no external wrap, tags, packaging or boxes, which further reduces the need to cut down any trees! Also, our products are shipped to you, our customers, in fully recyclable envelopes.

With your help, Organoderm, through its unique recycling program, makes a giant leap forward in eliminating all of our containers from landfills. For those that do not have recycling bins in which to place our recyclable containers, Organoderm provides you a downloadable label here from the United States Post Office. After cutting out the small label, you need only affix it to any of our containers, preferably with a non-toxic degradable glue(like Elmer’s) and drop it into any mailbox in the United States. The container will be sent directly to our contracted Recycling company(Allan Company in Baldwin Park, California) for full recycling. Organoderm even pays for the postage!

We follow the guidelines and recommendations of the recycling industry as to the materials we have used for the containers, caps, labels and even the ink on the labels and imprinting of the recycling codes on the bottom of our containers. This facilitates full recycling. Organoderm is hopeful that in the coming years, Allan Company will open their plant which will recycle our empty containers into “new” recyclable containers for our products!

Organoderm supports national recycling efforts through sponsoring public service announcements.

Our Organic Lotion is Completely Natural

If you are looking for quality skin care which does not pump your skin full of harmful chemicals, skin care which also takes into account the fragile and precious nature of our environment, then we can offer you a skin care solution which is both skin and Earth friendly. Products such as our organic lotion are made with natural plant and vegetable-derived extracts which are known to offer various benefits and all of our products come in packaging which is fully recyclable – we even use a special ink which does not hinder the recycling process on our labels.

Buy Organic Skin Care which is USDA Certified

According to laws passed at the beginning of the 1990s, The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) logo which incorporates the word ‘organic’ is only allowed to be displayed on products which have at least 95% certified organic ingredients. Products have to undergo controlled handling and processing in order to ensure that suppliers’ products really are fully organic. We have managed to transcend the difficulties inherent to creating skin care without synthetic preservatives and other chemicals, to offer products which qualify to display not only the USDA logo but the Circle of Green logo as well.

Organic Face Cream to Revitalize the Skin

A large number of commercial face creams which have anti-ageing properties are peppered with any number of non-organic ingredients, some of which are untested and therefore not a hundred percent safe to use on sensitive areas of skin such as the face. Our organic face cream/age signs corrector contains a number of plant-based extracts which have been tested to show anti-wrinkle effectiveness. Our organic face cream can be added to a fully organic hygiene routine, for maximum benefits and clear, refreshed skin.

A Light Organic Lotion for Face and Body

The organic lotion we supply is light and is therefore suitable for both facial and body use. Organic Aloe Vera is one of the ingredients contained – this plant is known for not only soothing properties but healing and anti-irritation properties as well. With an organic moisturizer, you can smooth and soften your skin without fear of harmful ingredients doing simultaneous damage. Natural extracts with antioxidant functions will help to afford your skin additional protection from harmful UVB rays, although a sunscreen product should be used as well for better protection. We offer a day sun protector lotion with in-built damage protection.

We Use Our Organic Skin Care to Increase Breast Cancer Awareness

With our organic skin care, it is not only our mission to provide a product which is respectful of the environment; we also seek to increase breast cancer awareness through the inclusion of the pink ribbon symbolizing breast cancer on our products’ containers. A portion of profits is also donated to breast cancer research initiatives, so that by buying our products you can also play a small part in helping to improve prevention and treatment methods for this disease.
