Dust & Glow

Our Sustainability Framework

• Emissions & Key Environmental Issues

  What is your company doing to reduce your emissions or combat key environmental issues (e.g. waste (packaging, end of life product strategy or recycling), biodiversity, land use, water, chemical use, energy use, and natural resource use etc.)?

  ON A MISSION TO SAVE OVER 1 MILLION DAYS OF CLEAN WATER ACCESS BY 2025 We are: NON-TOXIC: Formulated from excellent, non-toxic, naturally-derived ingredients. Free from suplhates, phalates, parabens, silicones, preservatives & fragrance. ETHICAL: New Zealand Made and Certified Cruelty Free & Vegan by PETA. RESPONSIBLE: Over 785 million people struggle to find clean water, the most fundamental element of life. With every purchase, Dust & Glow donates 1% of gross sales to help bring access to families in need with Charity Water, a non-profit organization bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing countries. CIRCULAR: Our full range is plastic-free and our aluminium bottles are made to be refilled & re-used with our Certified Home compostable pouches

• Materials

  How are the products your company offers made from environmentally friendly materials (e.g. recycled, organic materials)?

  1) Waterless formulas in powder form Small size big impact. Our products last up to 3x longer (depending on the product) than liquid products because they’re super-concentrated & potent. 2) Vegan, Cruelty-free & Naturally derived We only work with natural active ingredients & minerals. Our natural active ingredients are biodegradable! We are also proudly vegan & do not use any animal derived products. Free from: irritating surfactants, sulfates, silicones, palm oil & derivatives, animal actives, preservatives, allergens & fragrances. 2) Endlessly recyclable aluminium Our bottles are designed to be re-used and refilled. Aluminium can be endlessly recyclable. Recycling aluminium requires only 5% of the energy and produces only 5% of the CO2 emissions as compared with primary production. It is also the most cost-effective material to recycle. And no plastic in sight! 3) Refillable While we encourage recycling, we believe that we need to move towards a more circular economy. We encourage you to re-use and refill our aluminium bottles instead of purchasing a new bottle. That is why our FULL range is refillable. Our Refills are certified home compostable & commercial compostable.

• Supply Chain

  Do you partner with ethical factories that meet international labor standards? What processes have you implemented to make your supply chain more sustainable?

  Dust & Glow is made in New Zealand in a state of the art manufacturing site which is GMP appproved & ISO Certified. All ingredients used are naturally derived, from NZ when possible, and are certified vegan & cruelty free by PETA. We use a limited number of ingredients for each formula (less than 11) which makes it easier to trace each ingredient.

• Community Initiatives

  How does your company give back to the community (e.g. financial donations, volunteering, partnerships etc.)?

  GIVING BACK : 1% OF SALES DONATED Over 785 million people struggle to find clean water, the most fundamental element of life. With every purchase, we donate 1% of gross sales to help bring access to families in need with charity: water, a non-profit organization bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing countries. We are on a mission to save over 1M days of clean water access by 2025

  We are a female led, bootstrapped business. We pay living wage and proudly work with an amazing team of women.
