ilāpothecary products are 100% Natural (a couple of which are 98-99% Natural), they contain no propylene glycol or ethanolamine, silicone, SLES, petrochemicals, mineral oils, artificial colours or perfumes, PEGs or parabens. ilāpothecary products are free from any synthetic chemicals and only use natural preservatives. All ilāpothecary products are vegetarian and gluten free. Majority of products are vegan containing no animal derivatives – except a few products that contain beeswax, silk and honey. All products use best-press or first-press of essential oils.

Eco-Smart sustainable packaging
No ilāpothecary products have external packaging nor boxes or leaflets, to reduce waste. The Environmental Protection Agency has found that consumer packaging materials make up more than 30% of landfill waste, which negatively affects the planet and many ecosystems; ilapothecary would never want to be part of this! We are proud to not be using any outer packaging.

Production Unit
Our production unit building has an Energy Efficiency Rating of A and ensure that all boards are shredded and used to pack our orders. On top of this, they use FSC board for the transit packaging and 90% of the time use local suppliers where possible to reduce carbon footprint.

Recycling
ilapothecary not only invests to offer 98-100% natural powerful remedial ingredients in all formulations, but through its packaging, ensures to preserve their quality for longer, whilst reducing its carbon footprintby recycling manufacturing waste.

Our packaging materials are 100% sustainable. The majority of ilāpothecary products use Miron glass packaging which is 100% reusable and recyclable, moreover Miron glass also protects the formula from environmental conditions and enhances shelf life. Some ilāpothecary products may use plastic packaging – the plastic used is newly made PET and again 100% recyclable.

All our tubes are made of PIR (Post Industrial Recycled Plastic), based upon a circular economy to guarantee a real sustainable truth. Environmentally friendly, ilapothecary’s PIR tubes offer the most advanced recycling solution with the highest layers extrusion to guarantee the utmost usage of recycled materials and offer a high level of quality. Culminated with a matt varnish offering a smooth and elegant touch, ilapothecary’s tubes are 100% recyclable.
