Packaging

We understand plastic is a BIG problem. But the main problem with plastic is the production and use of NEW virgin plastics. And the fact that these new plastic bottles are made overseas and have a significant carbon footprint to get here!

Not us- not only do we use recycled HPDE plastic instead of new plastic . We produce these recycled plastic bottles in our very own Melbourne PET moulding factory (which is solar powered btw too).

Our Undo This Mess bottles are made from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and contains 30% recycled content.

It might look like plastic but trust us, it’s not! It’s a 100% dissolvable Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA). So no need to unwrap your dish tablets, just throw the whole thing in your machine.

Ingredients

The fragrances used in our products are blends of natural and synthetic oils for a few reasons! Where we use natural fragrances as much as we can, sometimes synthetic fragrances are actually the most sustainable alternative due to some natural fragrances being animal derived, contain high levels of allergens or simply rare to source at commercial quantities.

That’s an absolute no no! We love and respect our furry friends and never test on animals or use animal derived ingredients - not now, not ever. All of our products are vegan-friendly and our partners and suppliers must also comply with our strict standards.

Grey water and septic safe here! All our products have low sodium levels and undetectable phosphates in our products make it grey water safe. Our products are biodegradable, and do not contain any ingredients that are toxic to plants.

Any product that needs to have a longer shelf life needs to have some kind of preservative to avoid bacterial and fungal contamination (yuck, we really don’t want to see that!). We use the smallest amounts possible and we only use preservatives that have been assessed and approved for use in Cosmetic and Personal Care products, following TGA/EU Cosmetic Directive guidelines. We regularly review our preservatives to ensure that any new information that becomes available is considered, and that we are using the most appropriate preservatives available for our products.

Phthalates are a type of chemical (in the same family as BPA) that can be used to make plastic items. Not here! Our bottles are made from HDPE which doesn’t contain BPA, phthalates or heavy metals. Plus they are 100% recyclable.

You betcha! We always source Australian ingredients first and only if they aren’t available will we look at sourcing from elsewhere.

We do not use palm oil as an ingredient in our products however some of our ingredients are derived from palm kernel oil as we believe this is the best alternative to petrochemicals.

We understand there have been a lot of issues with irresponsible sourcing of palm oil, but we strive to ensure our palm derived ingredients are responsibly sourced. In line with our environmental and social responsibility criteria, we require full traceability in our palm oil and palm kernel oil sourcing back to the plantation. We are committed to ensuring our sourcing goes a step above and beyond RSPO certification to guarantee that our ingredients are not linked with deforestation and/or human rights issues and violations.

We have partnered with a non-profit organization called Earthworm, enabling us to fully trace the source of our palm derived ingredients through our supply chain. Earthworm focus on products and supply chains to bring about more responsible sourcing, helping communities and working on the ground with the producers to find pragmatic solutions and improve practices.
