💚 Why We Don’t Do Sachets — A Skincare Choice That Loves the Planet
At Une Olive en Provence, we believe skincare should be more than just gentle on your skin — it should also be gentle on the Earth.
You might have noticed: we don’t offer single-use sachet testers. While they may seem convenient, these small packets carry a much larger environmental cost than they appear.
🌍 The Problem with Sachets
Sachets are often made with multi-layered plastic materials that are non-recyclable in most countries. Once opened and used, they usually end up in landfills or oceans, contributing to microplastic pollution and long-term environmental harm.
In fact:
-
In Southeast Asia, over 50% of plastic residual waste comes from sachets.
-
Globally, the beauty industry produces over 122 billion sachets every year — the vast majority of which are discarded after just one use.
💭 So, Why Doesn’t Une Olive Use Sachets?
Because we’ve made a conscious choice to be different.
We believe in offering you full-sized, honest skincare in thoughtfully designed packaging — not just to provide a better experience, but to ensure our products don’t add to the global waste problem.
Every bottle you receive is:
-
Recyclable or refillable
-
Designed for long-term use
-
Made to reflect the natural beauty and purity of Provence
✨ What We Offer Instead
Instead of sachets, we focus on:
-
Refill Packs for our bestsellers like Shower Gel and Liquid Soap — more product, less plastic waste
-
Generous full-size products with nourishing, olive-derived ingredients
-
A commitment to transparency, quality, and sustainability from formulation to packaging
