Sustainability

Urban Rituelle is an environmentally aware company. Taking care over our ingredients, processes and packaging is always fundamental in the development process.

It is our mission to create rituals that make people feel good, operating with people & our planet at the forefront of our mind. We are constantly challenging ourselves to do better when it comes to looking after our precious planet.
WALKING A LITTLE LIGHTER
We are embracing our responsibility and using our voice to encourage others to choose the most sustainable path. Every shift, no matter how big or small, can make the world of difference. By sharing our own sustainability journey, we hope to inspire others to become more conscious & environmentally aware. 

We proudly manufacture all products in Australia & we are committed to supporting Australian ingredient, fragrance & packaging suppliers, reducing our carbon footprint. Whenever possible packaging is manufactured using post-consumer materials that can be recycled, including rPET plastic bottles, glass & recycled cardboard box packaging without laminates.

In 2020, Urban Rituelle committed to 100% renewable energy, ensuring that our business is now powered by renewable sources such as wind & solar. We advocate power saving & recycling in our office and warehouse. We are continuously researching new methods for manufacturing and we are committed to adapting environmentally friendly techniques. 

We are not perfect however it’s time to question ourselves & our suppliers, to make changes to the way we do business, making the best choices we can, with the environment in mind. It’s about being better, doing more, questioning old ways & improving processes, to be as kind as possible to the planet. 
NO UNNECESSARY PLASTICS 

We reduce packing waste by not wrapping products in plastic or placing items into plastic bags. We have invested into technology that repurposes cardboard waste, reducing our reliance on packaging required for shipping. We only use environmentally friendly biodegradable void fill, paper & cardboard for shipping & distribution of our goods. We print marketing material onto recycled papers whenever possible.
ETHICALLY SOURCED & HARVESTED

Our products contain certified sustainable, natural ingredients that are ethically sourced & harvested, even though these are more costly. Urban Rituelle does not manufacture products with sulphates, parabens, artificial colours, mineral oils or harsh chemicals. Formulations are continually improved & developed, ensuring our products meet strict guidelines in regard to environmental sustainability.
NATURALLY CRUELTY FREE

At Urban Rituelle, we are firmly against animal testing. All of our products are proudly 100% cruelty free & never tested on animals. The majority of products are vegan friendly, with the exception of our  goats milk soap.
