Why did we create the new climate-neutralzed packaging?
The beauty care industry will save the world ... from warming.
Did you know that if the current pace of development is maintained, humanity will cause the planet to warm up by roughly 1.5 ° C by 2030 (therefore, we have only 8 years left!). This will provoke the melting of the glaciers, rising the ocean levels and changes in rainfall volume. Atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions are the main cause of climate change and one of the harbingers of environmental catastrophe.
The cosmetics industry, unfortunately, ranks immediately after the fashion industry in environmental pollution. More than 120 billion packages are produced each year by global cosmetics companies, according to the ecological network Zero Waste. Many of them are not recyclable. Ironically, health and beauty products are packaged in plastic, and the decomposition process of a package can lasts up to nearly 1,000 years. And another important thing - most consumers do not have the habit of recycling, even when the packaging allows it. Isn't it better to give second life to plasic resources instead of polluting the environment over and over again?
On the eve of its 21st year in the 21st century, Sun Like has taken another step forward with responsible attitude to human health and the purity of our nature. This is our commitment to sustainable and green development on the planet. This is part of our share in reducing carbon emissions!
Our new mission is reliable sun protection with new, broad-spectrum filters that optimally protect skin health and a series of products with less harmful impact on the environment.
Guided by the care of human health - for safe and reliable protection, as well as to reduce the harmful impact on the environment, we have taken the mission to a new stage: Think Green - Think Safe.
We have created new, climate-neutralized packaging for our new, ever so gentle sunscreen.
Think Green - climate-neutralized packaging of the future
For the packaging of Sun Like sunscreen products we have used the latest technology available in Europe, developed on the basis of bio-based, recycled and certified kraft (reinforced) cardboard. In this manner, plastic is reduced by 48% compared to existing solutions. The iconic orange caps of the series are now transformed to eco slim size and contain 50 percent less plastic. In addition, they are fully recyclable - ie. ready for a second life after processing.
Reuse - Reduce - Recycle
The Reuse - Reduce - Recycle formula applies in full force to the packaging of the Sun Like cooling after sun gel lotion and the Sun Like children's sunscreen lotion. The Green Leaf tube reduces the impact on the environment - 37% less harmful emissions and 17% less weight. It is made from 100% recyclable material, certified by the Association of Plastics Processors, which is suitable for re-use in production, without residues.
If you are still wondering what "climate neutrality" is, this is the commitment to the carbon footprint that our products leave. Especially for this purpose, we have placed signs and pictograms on the face of the sun protection series, with which we urge you to collect the "Sun Like" packages separately!
Think Safe - health above all
Guided by the primary care of health, we have created NEW, gentle sunscreen formulas of an advanced generation. We have complied with the recommendations of the European Commission, according to which some UV filters penetrate too deep into the skin and are not safe for the body.
We have created the cleanest and lightest formulas without homosalate and octocrylene, with broad-spectrum sunscreens that instantly protect against burns. They provide safe and secure protection. The products meet the most important condition - health above all. They are a reliable shield that protects against UVA rays, provoking allergies and UVB rays - the main culprits for pigmentation and burns.
Eco-trends
If we think about protecting the planet as much as we think about its beauty, the world will be in much better shape and will not suffocate under plastic mountains, environmentalists say.
Recent studies show that 83% of young people want to be more responsible consumers, and more caring for the environment.
Following the current eco-trends "Sun Like", as a favorite brand to generations of fans, has improve its products and packaging.
Sun-like eco-tips:
- Buy cosmetics that take care of skin health.
- Recycle packaging - use the yellow container.
- Save water.
- Move more by bike and walk.
- Think of the planet!
And you know, beauty can save the world ... from warming.
