Sustainability in Skincare

Sustainability has become increasingly important in not only the skincare world but in all consumer industries, especially here in Canada. In the realm of skincare, more consumers are looking for sustainable Canadian skincare that is gentle on the skin and the environment. Canadians are beginning to think how their routines are affecting the environment - as a small quarterly production skincare brand MoSS Gabriola is helping lead the way to conscious purchasing.

What Makes Skincare Sustainable?

Eco-conscious ingredient sourcing

Canadians are gravitating toward products that are made with ethically harvested botanicals, not reliable on harmful chemicals, and gentle formulations. At MoSS, sustainability starts with our blend of certified organic botanical ingredients which makes up 70% of our Moisture Lock moisturizer! We chose botanicals that are inspired by coastal living like our hero ingredient Sea Buckthorn. Whether it’s carefully collected island botanicals, up-cycled plant materials, or just those simple clean ingredients that dont threaten nature, our focus is to honour the land that inspires us.

100% Recyclable Packaging

You heard that right! Our packaging material are all 100% recyclable. Packaging is often where sustainability comes visible. More Canadian businesses are shifting to recyclable glass, biodegradable materials, aluminum tins, or refillable systems. When choosing our packaging materials we wanted to make sure that the product vessel along with marketing and complete packaging were accepted by our enviornment.
