At Artean Skincare, every design choice is guided by two inseparable principles: preserving the effectiveness of our treatments and respecting the planet. This applies as much to our formulas as it does to our packaging. That is why we have opted for minimalist secondary packaging, designed to protect the product without excess, and made from sustainable materials.
Recycled, recyclable, and FSC-certified cardboard
Our boxes are made from 100% recycled cardboard, itself recyclable, and FSC-certified (Forest Stewardship Council). This label ensures that the cardboard comes from responsible sources, contributing to the sustainable management of forests. This choice helps limit the exploitation of new forest resources, preserve biodiversity, and give a second life to existing materials. Their strength ensures the protection of violet Miron glass bottles and jars during transport, without the need for plastic or unnecessary fillers.
Biodegradable vegetable inks
Our packaging is printed using biodegradable vegetable inks, free from petrochemical solvents. This reduces the release of volatile organic compounds into the air and makes cardboard recycling easier. The result is an elegant, understated, and environmentally respectful design.
No plastic protective film
We have chosen to completely eliminate plastic films that often cover cosmetic boxes. While these films may give a glossy or “new” look to the product, they represent a non-recyclable waste that most often ends up in landfills or the ocean. By removing this purely aesthetic element, we eliminate a source of pollution and affirm our commitment to prioritizing the useful over the superfluous.
Why minimalism is a conscious luxury
In the world of luxury, excessive packaging has long been seen as a symbol of prestige. At Artean Skincare, we believe that true luxury is precision: offering protective, aesthetic, and functional packaging without waste. This choice not only reduces our environmental impact but also allows us to focus investment on what matters most: the quality and effectiveness of our treatments.
