Afterglow Cosmetics is a leader in removing potentially dangerous pollutants from our cosmetics. Not Minimal Packaging: You will notice that the Afterglow products you order are shipped in minimal packaging. We do not use exterior product boxes because we believe the extra packaging is unnecessary to protect the product and will just add meaningless waste to your local landfill. The box or package your purchase is shipped in is also made of up to 100% recycled materials. If you order Priority Mail shipping you order is shipped to you in a certified 'Cradle to Cradle' box. This means that the United States Postal Service's boxes have reached a high standard when assessed according to various criteria for human and environmental health, including toxicity, renewable energy, water stewardship, recyclability and other manufacturing attributes. The postal service claims this initiative alone will save the equivalent 15,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere! We seek out and are happy to support sustainably progressive companies such as USPS. In-house Afterglow Recycling: Internally we recycle virtually all our incoming packing material and paper by either reusing it or recycling it directly. |
