WE WANT TO DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY
We’re proud to pioneer this movement and be a Committed Beauty. Join us on our journey and become a force of change that fosters sustainable living and protects the environment we live in. We are very excited about our ongoing initiatives and hope you'll love them too!
We created a pure, effective and sustainable skincare brand which is not only good for you, but also the planet. Everything we do is always based on our four core values: Sustainability, Transparency, Social responsibility and Safety.
Redefine sustainability
Driving Change in Partnership
Our business model is based on the principles of a circular economy. We sustainably source our hero ingredient - Cacay Oil - from Colombia and work directly with the farmers in our supply chain to protect and harvest hectares of prime forest within the Amazon. This agroforestry approach provides a year-round income stream for the local farmers. WWF has joined this partnership to protect the wildlife and endangered species from this environmental significant area we source from.
In addition, we form partnerships with other businesses whose objectives is also to change the world for the better and to be different.
Transparency
A Regional Supply chain
The love of nature, the high quality standards of our ingredients and transparent supply chains determine the selection of our partnerships. We strive to keep our environmental footsprint as small as possible. Our entire product packaging is recycable. We use glass produced in Europe, FSC-certified recycled paper and upcycled stoneflour for our labels from Germany. Finally, we source the majority of our other ingredients regionally from within Europe. So we also know many of our suppliers personally. This enables us to build a strong, supplier network based on the same values and mutual trust, which allows us to grow together.
Packaging
Violet Glass Packaging
Glass is practically inert and impermeable, which makes it the safest of all packaging materials out there. As a result, there are no risks attached to harmful chemicals entering products that are packed in glass. This also means that there are no extra barriers or additives needed.
But who protects the valuable ingredients from degrading?
The violet glass packaging our facial care products are housed in incorporates biophotonic technology. It protects the concentrated and active formulations by filtering out harmful rays of light. Only the violet light wavelength can penetrate the glass. This further enhances product viability maintaining and preserving the formulations over an extended period.
Glass is the most sustainable packaging option made from natural materials (sand, soda ash and limestone) that can be endlessly reused and upcycled.
Reduce Waste
Luxurious Minis instead of sachets
As part of our commitment to sustainability, we will not provide sachets at this point in our journey as we do not encourage thoughtless consumption of little packets and jars that often end up as pollution or landfill as they cannot be simply recycled. Discover our Mini Luxury bottles and we will continue to introduce further so that you can try our products before you commit to a full-size bottle.
As our company continues to grow, we will conduct ongoing research into packaging options to ensure that we use resources responsibly and prioritise the use of recycled or reused materials. We understand the importance of reducing our environmental impact and are dedicated to finding innovative ways to do so while still providing our customers with the highest quality products.
Safety
Safe for you, the environment and animals
We promise results-driven, sustainable skincare. All our products are vegan, skin & animal friendly, natural and are pH-balancing formulating. For healthy and glowing skin. We proudly bear the PETA seal for vegan and animal-free cosmetics and support organisations that work to protect animals and our ecosystems through educational work and targeted donations.
Circular Economy
98% of our packaging is recyclable
Your bottles and jars can be deposited into your kerbside recycle bin. Simply follow these instructions to do so:
- Remove fixtures and fittings
- Soak in hot soapy water and rinse to remove residue
- Place in kerbside recycle bin
As glass is made from natural materials, it can continue to be endlessly upcycled. By recycling your glass bottles and jars, you are helping to conserve natural resources and reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills.
Short Distances
Delivery and Logistic
At NAYA, we believe in streamlining every step of your journey to radiant skin. That's why we prioritise regional production and efficient delivery routes. Our minimal packaging optimises space and minimises wasted resources. Every NAYA product is carefully packed and shipped climate-neutrally from our logistic partner, ensuring freshness and a minimised carbon footprint.
We're all about committed beauty, and that includes informed purchasing. To encourage conscious choices and minimise unnecessary returns, customers are responsible for return shipping costs. This helps us streamline our processes and keep our environmental impact low. If you have any questions, email us on support@nayaglow.com
