Why water conservation and sustainable practices are at the heart of everything we do
Saving water, reducing carbon, and preventing waste in the process
Water Footprint

Water Footprint

As the first global beauty partner of Water Footprint Network (WFN), we choose to exclude water from our products and sustainably manage our Water Footprint. Our custom research project with the WFN will be published later this year, measuring the savings we’ve made with each Conserving Beauty product’s exact water footprint. Join our community of WaveMakers to be the first to learn more.

In partnership with Trace, we measure, track and offset our carbon emissions. We offset both our business operations and in 2023 we started offsetting our product carbon footprint within our supply chain. To read about our carbon footprint visit www.our-trace.com/brand/conserving-beauty
Waste Footprint

Waste Footprint

We use dissolvable, compostable, and recyclable materials.
InstaMelt™ fabric technology dissolves after use within 60 seconds, leaving no microplastics or waste behind.
Bottles and jars are infinitely recyclable glass can be kerbside recycled endlessly.
Cartons are made from 100% post-consumer recycled paper made Carbon Neutral and the fibre source is FSC (CoC) Recycled certified.
Size matters. We make sure that our cartons are compact in size to help reduce our carbon footprint when your beauty products are on their way to you.
Our cartons and shipper boxes are made from uncoated paper and can be placed in your home compost or recycling bin after you're finished with them.
Traceability Matters

Traceability Matters

It’s a niche flex, but we’re happy to claim ourselves as supply chain experts. We believe in the importance of a traceable and ethical product lifecycle, from how ingredients are grown right through to when your local postie delivers it to you.
Conserving Beauty products are manufactured ethically in Australia with ingredients sourced directly from farms globally, which is why we’ve shared a detailed ingredient listing on each product page. We’re also working on a blockchain traceability project to share complete supply chain transparency with our community – sign up to our WaveMakers community to be the first to learn more.

InstaMelt™ Patented Material
Changing the game, for good
Our fabric is made from a patented water-soluble polymer which is then treated with Conserving Beauty’s anhydrous formulations to create revolutionary skincare solutions that dissolve instantly in water after use.
Why InstaMelt is the solution
We know you were still secretly using those makeup wipes, but did you know that they typically take almost 100 years to biodegrade? That’s why they pollute our waterways and contribute up to 75% of sewer blockages in Australia and 93% in the United Kingdom. Our InstaMelt™ range helps solve this issue by dissolving instantly in water after use or biodegrading in 14 days.
Our approach to sustainability has been informed by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Conserving Beauty was founded with a focus on six specific SDGs:

Climate Transparency
Our Partnership with Bluebird
We are a committed to reducing our footprint. Our partner in emissions tracking, Bluebird, calculates each product’s footprint using Greenhouse Gas Protocol, which considers emissions from materials, ingredients, manufacturing, transportation, and distribution. A product’s waste footprint is calculated by examining its recyclability and degradability.
You can now see every product’s Impact Report on conservingbeauty.com. Simply visit our product pages to see how we are doing compared to industry benchmarks.
Why climate transparency matters?
