Industry leading spa brand ESPA has announced three major new organisational changes that reinforce its expertise as a premium, natural and environmentally-friendly skincare brand.
Almost 28 years after ESPA’s signature Tri-Active™ blend was created and the first ESPA Spa opened its doors to the public, ESPA has released details of significant steps it has taken to increase sustainability throughout its packaging and operations, whilst refining its product categories and enhancing the quality of its formulations through vegan friendly formulas and COSMOS Natural Certifications.
In a bid to be more sustainable ESPA will continue to use its well-known luxurious glass packaging across the range, but will move it’s serums and moisturisers where possible from plastic to glass bottles with removable pumps.
Where plastic usage is absolutely necessary, the brand has refreshed their packaging - including the iconic ESPA stone effect caps, to be fully recyclable and incorporate 5% PCR (post-consumer resin). Furthermore, all excess plastic including plastic pump packaging, shives, and spatulas will be removed to reduce plastic waste.
Although several significant changes will take effect in 2020, ESPA has announced a number of additional pledges for 2021 to continue its vision towards sustainability, including a commitment to making all ESPA packaging recyclable, reusable or refillable. The brand also aims to move to FSC certified sustainable paper and board in all packaging, and significantly increase the renewable energy generated at ESPA’s factory, with 40% of usage coming from ESPA’s own Solar panels.
In a bid to further reinforce the brand’s core value of naturality, more than 50 of ESPA’s vegan friendly products now carry COSMOS Natural certification - an independent and globally recognised standard within the cosmetics industry.
From this week, all ESPA products will also begin to carry the signature Tri-Active™ blend of plant, marine and aromatherapy oils to create the most effective, natural products for the skin, body and mind. Three new Age-Defying categories have been announced as part of the product refresh with products designed to tackle the impact their modern lifestyle is having on their skin, and target the visible signs of skin ageing.
