Sustainability at Flonatix
At Flonatix, we believe skincare should feel good on your skin and sit gently on the planet.
We are a very small brand, but we want to build things the right way from the start. That means slow crafted formulas, careful packaging decisions, and honest communication about what is actually recyclable.
This page explains how we think about sustainability today and how you can recycle your Flonatix packaging at home.
Our Packaging Philosophy
We choose packaging with real end of life pathways, not just nice words on a label.
Most plastic beauty packaging is technically recyclable, but in practice very little of it makes it through municipal systems. Small pieces, mixed materials, colored plastics, pumps, and coated components are often rejected and end up in landfill.
This is why we chose glass for our first product and why most of our packaging will continue to be glass. For certain future items, we may explore aluminum as another material that can be truly recycled. Both materials have repeatable recycling pathways and support a lower waste future.
How to Recycle Your Flonatix Jar
1. Clean the jar
• Rinse out any remaining moisturizer
• A short soak in warm water helps loosen residue
• Let the jar dry completely
2. Recycle the glass jar
• The jar is made of glass and can go into curbside recycling in most cities
• All wording is printed directly on the glass, so you can recycle it as is
• Check local guidelines if you are unsure
3. Recycle the cap
• The cap is made of PP (polypropylene)
• Many local programs accept PP with household plastics
• If your city does not accept PP, you can reuse the cap for travel or small storage
Our Small Steps Forward
We are growing slowly and intentionally. As we scale, we hope to explore:
• refillable formats that are actually recyclable and not plastic sachets
• lighter weight glass to help reduce emissions
• more mono material packaging to simplify recycling
We know everything will not be perfect overnight, but every decision is made with care and long term impact in mind.
Thank You
Thank you for supporting a small, independent brand that is trying to do things thoughtfully. Your choice to rinse, recycle, reuse, or repurpose your packaging helps us keep our environmental footprint smaller as we grow.
