Four focuses of sustainability
-
Ingredients
Creating environmentally friendly products begins with the ingredients.
98% of ingredients are from 22 plants growing wild in North America.
Plants native to their environment help sustain our ecosystem and typically require less resources to grow.
77% of ingredients are organic, wildcrafted and/or zero waste.
100% plant powered + clean + vegan + cruelty-free + ethically sourced + the highest quality!
-
Traceable
Transparent carbon footprint reduction and traceable skincare. You deserve to know where ingredients are from.
Products designed for good by using native plants, locally grown ingredients, and opting for lower-emission modes of transportation.
92% ingredients from North American farmers = one of the lowest ingredient carbon footprints.
Surf+Slope wipes out more carbon than created as an Ocean+Positive brand too.
-
Recyclable
Packaging that can be recycled or reused and comes from non-virgin sources where possible.
35% Surf+Slope's box is from recycled paper and 100% of it is from responsible sources and non-endangered or ancient forests.
Aim to minimize paper use and transition product pumps to post-consumer recycled materials.
Blue glass bottles are recyclable or reusable.
100% formula is reef safe + biodegradable
-
Impact
Measurable social impact for give back you know.
You choose and know your bottles' extra impact at the time of purchase.
Do you want to restore our ocean's environment or give a kid the opportunity to learn to board? You choose!
100% of give back stays local in North America.
Measuring how you're making a difference is hard. Yet, Nation Botanics is committed to doing so beyond Surf+Slope's lifecycle.
Circularity
To put simply - it's like a big recycling loop for a company. It's all about using valuable resources wisely, reusing things, minimizing waste, and creating supply chains that help the environment.
Nation Botanics takes this circular business model approach.
It's tough to set up, especially when selling a product. Cause philosophically the more sold the better, yet this goes against only using what you need and reducing waste.
Less is more.
Surf+Slope is designed to be only two bottles while giving your skin the benefits of eight different products.
