Sustainability & Community

We are committed to making a difference in the world by continually improving and adapting our practices in everything we do. Our ingredients are harvested from ethical sources, ensuring social and environmental integrity. We aim to simplify and minimise our packaging using recycled materials and soy based inks. We strive to work with local suppliers and partners to reduce our carbon footprint and support the local economy. We hope that by inspiring more individuals to appreciate our natural resources, practicing self-care and taking steps to reduce their ecological footprint on this earth, it will help drive change in the world.

Our commitment to the environment

Being a Gold Coast based brand has its perks, and we are dedicated to help preserve the environment that makes this place so special. We have a strict recycling policy both and our warehouse staff is trained on repurposing packaging and materials when possible. Our employees are encouraged to bring their reusable cups and water bottles while limiting single-use plastic cutlery by using our fully equipped kitchen facilities. We strive to continually improve our processes to reduce our ecological footprint and lead by example.

Plant-a-Tree Program

To help reduce carbon emissions from shipping and deliveries, we have partnered with Carbon Neutral, an Australian organisation that carries out large-scale revegetation based on biodiversity and carbon capture. With every online order, we are planting native trees on your behalf in the Yarra Yarra biodiversity corridor in Australia. Our goal is to plant 5000 trees by 2021.

Source to Bottle Initiative

We source our raw material based on delivering the highest possible quality into each and every product. This includes sourcing our essential oils and carrier oils from countries where the plant material grows best both climatically and seasonally, as well as choosing those that contain the best active constituents to perform accordingly to the high standards we set. We work closely with our suppliers to ensure transparency and share with our community our source locations, distillation process and environmental impact.

Responsible Packaging

We work with a local manufacturer to produce all of our product packaging. Our colourful boxes are made from 100% recyclable fibre made from Fully Sustainable Forest management practices ‘PEFC CERTIFIED’.

Our shipping boxes are made from a 100% recycled paper outer layer and of a 30% recycled paper and 70% virgin fibre inner kraft. We use soy based printing inks that contain no petroleum solvents. The glue used in carton production is water based and completely biodegradable.

Recycling Program

We partner with TerraCycle to recycle all ECO. products ensuring none of them end up in landfill. This applies to our entire product range including essential oils glass bottles, plastic pumps and caps as well as PET skincare containers. The plastics are sorted into various types of plastics then melted to be moulded into new recycled plastic products. All you need to do is return your empties to us and get $15 off your next order.

We believe well-being starts with the health and happiness of our team. We support our staff in both their professional and personal endeavours by providing a collaborative and flexible work environment. We provide regular support to a range of local not-for-profit organisations such as Baby Give Back and RizeUp Australia through product and charitable donations. Our biggest ongoing collaboration is with Beyond Blue whereby $1 is donated for every ECO. Anxiety Blend sold.

Reducing plastic by July 2020

We are in the process of transitioning our entire product range and supply chain to limit the use of plastic. This includes switching all of our PET plastic bottles to glass, using only recyclable outer packaging and removing all plastic wrapping from suppliers in transport. We will be using biodegradable bottle labels, recyclable tape and biodegradable starch foam. Stay tuned as we finalise the transition to becoming (nearly) plastic-free!
