“You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”
– Dr. Jane Goodall
Au (pronounced ‘oh’), is changing the world with eco-friendly skincare products, one face at a time. Be part of the change.
Every year, 480 billion single-use bottles go to landfill, where they will stay for the next 800 years (assuming we’ll get that long, that is!). It only takes you 30 seconds to refill your aluminium container with our plant-based pouches and by doing so, you save a bottle from going to landfill. We understand moving towards zero-waste can be overwhelming, but every action helps; all you need to do is start.
Our eco-friendly skincare products are sustainably packaged in recyclable, compostable, or refillable containers, and we use environmentally-friendly shipping packaging. Our four essential products come in refillable tins, which you can refill using our revolutionary eco-pouches.
At every step of our journey, we questioned, “how can we do this better to care for future generations?” Our mantra is ‘Reduce, reuse, refill’, and our eco-friendly skincare products help you to achieve zero waste through our plant based eco-refills and re-usable containers.
Each year skincare companies use millions of single use plastic bottles in their packaging. Most of the plastic is made from fossil fuels, which are non-renewable and release carbon dioxide which contributes to global warming.
Our eco-refill pouches are made from sugarcane, a fully renewable resource that grows quickly, removing carbon from the atmosphere in the process.
The sugarcane used to make our eco-refill pouches is sourced from Brazil, where it relies on rainwater not irrigation.
Made from a renewable source, making it a better and more sustainable way to make plastic.
As sugarcane grows, it removes carbon from the atmosphere, just like trees.
Kerbside recyclable as #2. Or even better, refill it and reuse it!
Sugarcane converts sunlight into chemical energy, which can be turned into bioelectricity.
The essential concept at the heart of the circular economy is to ensure we can unmake everything we make.
A circular economy is where we keep resources in use for as long as possible, extract the maximum value from them whilst in use, then recover and regenerate products and materials at the end of each service life.
When a product is designed for the longest use possible, or can be recycled (or used, composted and nutrients returned) we consider it to have a circular life cycle.
