Sustainability is more than just a word for us; it’s a pledge. From our product development to the manufacturing process, we are committed to finding innovative and eco-friendly solutions that minimize our impact on the planet. Our mission is to make meaningful contributions to the beauty industry, which is why we’ve joined forces with industry advocates to develop resources to kickstart your sustainability journey.
Our journey began in the 1970s with the launch of an eco-friendly mannequin product line. Over time, we meticulously scrutinized each component, opting for those that align with our sustainability ethos as we evolved this product and launched a second eco-friendly solution, emphasizing our commitment to reducing landfill waste from traditional foamed mannequins. Every choice was a step toward reducing our environmental footprint.
But sustainability is just that, a journey. Our sustainable business practices help us continue to prioritize green initiatives and foster a culture of environmental responsibility among our team. Together, we can create change towards a more sustainable future.

As we continue our journey towards more sustainable practices, every product’s packaging is carefully crafted with eco-consciousness at its core. By prioritizing non-toxic colors on our new mannequin packaging, we ensure the safety of both our customers and the environment, minimizing harmful chemicals in the production process. Opting for recyclable materials reduces waste and promotes the circular economy. We focus on bundle shipments to reduce transportation emissions and packaging materials, further lessening our environmental impact.
With employees splitting their time between office and remote work, there is a decrease in traffic congestion and fuel consumption, leading to lower greenhouse gas emissions. Fewer people commuting daily means less demand for office space, resulting in reduced energy consumption for heating, cooling, and lighting. Embracing a hybrid work model promotes a more sustainable approach to our business operations.
