Environmental + Sustainability
At Simple Body, we believe it’s not just our responsibility—but our duty—to care for the planet. That means creating sustainable skincare through mindful choices: recycling, reusing, reducing waste, renewing resources, and avoiding harsh chemicals that can pollute our water, soil, and air.
Sustainable Packaging: Why We Choose Glass
Maintaining perfect sustainability standards is challenging, but we do everything we can to reduce our impact. That starts with packaging.
We choose glass for as many products as possible because:
Glass is 100% recyclable and can be recycled endlessly without losing quality.
It can be washed, sterilized, and reused at home without compromising the integrity of your skincare.
Although glass takes more energy to produce and ship, its long life cycle makes it one of the most environmentally responsible choices in clean beauty.
Bulk Refills to Reduce Waste
To further minimize waste and reduce plastic use, we offer bulk refills in glass bottles. Refilling helps reduce:
- Single-use plastic bottles and pumps
- Demand for new plastic production
- Air pollution from shipping excess packaging
Refilling supports a more circular skincare routine—one where materials stay in use longer and out of the landfill.
Ingredients That Respect the Planet
Our formulations are inspired by COSMOS and ECOCERT standards, prioritizing plant-based ingredients, organic options whenever possible, and materials that are sustainably harvested.
We avoid harsh chemicals that harm ecosystems or wash into streams and sewer systems. Instead, we choose:
- Biodegradable surfactants
- Renewable plant oils and extracts
- Natural preservatives that support product safety without compromising environmental health
Our goal is always effective, non-toxic skincare that respects the planet.
Low-Waste, Small-Batch Manufacturing
Because we manufacture in small batches in our Colorado Springs store, we can control waste at every step. Small-batch production means less overproduction and expired inventory, lower water usage, minimal ingredient waste, and fresher products with longer efficacy. Our in-house production allows us to micro-manage quality while reducing the footprint associated with large-scale manufacturing.
