WHAT DOES EARTH DAY MEAN FOR US? REFLECTING ON OUR IMPACT AND INITIATIVES

April marks not just a month but a celebration of Earth, raising the critical question: What does Earth Day really mean to us? Across the globe, many take action through recycling programs, beach clean-ups, and wildlife conservation. Yet, despite these efforts, excessive waste production remains a concerning issue.

The frustration mounts in regions where such programs are non-existent, hindered by mismanagement and insufficient funding, jeopardizing our mission to preserve our only Earth.

On a brighter note, let’s explore actionable steps within our skincare routine:

Rejecting Single-Use Sheet Masks: The surge in popularity of one-time-use face masks has significantly increased waste.

Rather than contributing to this problem, consider crafting a homemade, zero-waste mask using readily available ingredients. For those who prefer ready-made solutions, our durable, recyclable glass-packaged masks offer a sustainable choice, lasting anywhere from six months to a year.
Advocating for Vegan and Cruelty-Free Products: Choosing vegan and cruelty-free skincare products ensures no animals are harmed or involved. However, vigilance is key — always read labels to understand what you're really applying to your skin.
Opting for USDA Certified Organic Products: By selecting products that are USDA Certified Organic, you are backing farms and manufacturers committed to avoiding harmful chemicals. These substances can adversely affect not just human health but entire ecosystems.

Supporting local growers is equally important; it cuts down on shipping distances, reduces carbon emissions, and guarantees the freshness of your products. Embrace the benefits of organic and locally sourced goods for a healthier planet and community.
Reducing Carbon Footprint: By buying direct, you’re avoiding waste and conserving energy! At SanRe we strive to source our skinfood ingredients locally/regionally to minimize transportation emissions. We prioritize direct shipments from our lab to your doorstep, instead of using distributors/resellers, with the us-to-you goal of maintaining freshness and reducing our ecological footprint. Using recycled and recyclable packaging is a no-brainer as well, as well within our larger SanRe goal to Reduce, Reuse & Recycle virtually everything in our skinfood operation – for Mother Earth is SO WORTH our collective efforts!

At our core, we believe there's always room for improvement. By choosing better practices and products, we contribute to a healthier, greener planet for future generations. Let’s continue to make a difference, not just on Earth Day, but every day.
