How to Responsibly Dispose of Your Jessica Wellness Packaging
Mary Lameda GilAt Jessica Wellness, we believe that your wellness journey shouldn’t come at the cost of the planet. While beauty and health products often come in visually pleasing but waste-heavy packaging, the environmental impact of cosmetic packaging is becoming harder to ignore. Globally, millions of beauty containers end up in landfills each year, many of which are non-recyclable due to mixed materials or design.

Our Commitment to Sustainability
Every Jessica Wellness product reflects our dedication to low-tox living and planet-first practices:
✔ Sustainable Product Packaging
- Glass first: We prioritize glass jars and bottles, encouraging you to reuse, refill, or upcycle them at home.
- No excess waste: We’ve eliminated unnecessary outer cartons to cut down on packaging waste.
- Smart plastic use: Where plastic is needed (like dropper caps), we aim for recycled content, and we’re working on switching to more sustainable options like aluminium or bamboo.
✔ Eco-Conscious Shipping
- All orders are packed in FSC-certified, recycled and biodegradable materials, like kraft or honeycomb paper to protect your items during transit with minimal waste.
- We use plastic-free, recyclable padded mailers for delicate items, ensuring your skincare arrives safe but still sustainable.

Looking Ahead
We’re not stopping here. Our next goals include:
- Partnering with recycling programs like TerraCycle and Sephora's empties initiative.
- Continuously improving our packaging materials to be even more sustainable, without compromising product quality or safety.
At Jessica Wellness, we’re proud to be part of the change, and with your help, we can keep making progress toward a cleaner, more conscious future.
