The Hunt for Sustainable Packaging
At Luna & Lark Apothecary, we believe that beauty and sustainability should go hand in hand. Every decision we make—from the brands we stock to the way your order arrives at your doorstep—is guided by our core values of care, consciousness, and community. That’s why we’re proud to share that all of our shipping materials now come from EcoEnclose, a leader in sustainable, ethical packaging solutions. 🌿 Sustainability That Goes Beyond Skin-Deep Choosing EcoEnclose wasn’t just a box-checking moment (pun intended!). It’s part of our larger mission to tread lightly on the Earth while delivering products that help you care for yourself, your family, and the planet. EcoEnclose stands out in a crowded packaging world because of their unwavering commitment to: Recycled materials: Nearly all of their packaging is made from 100% post-consumer waste. Plastic-free options: From recycled Kraft mailers to water-activated tape, they make it easier to avoid unnecessary plastic. Recyclable and compostable packaging: Everything we ship can go right into your curbside recycling bin—or your compost pile. Carbon-neutral shipping: They prioritize low-emission manufacturing and transportation to reduce environmental impact from start to finish. 📦 What This Means for You When your Luna & Lark order arrives, you’ll know that: Your box or mailer was made with the planet in mind. The inks and adhesives used are non-toxic and biodegradable. Your packaging can be easily recycled or reused. You’re supporting a circular economy with every shipment. We even use plant-based, zero-waste shipping labels and recyclable void fill, because sustainability lives in the details. 🌕 The Bigger Picture Luna & Lark is more than a place to discover clean beauty—it’s a movement toward mindful living. Our choice to use EcoEnclose reflects our broader commitment to environmental stewardship, ethical sourcing, and building a more beautiful future for all. We hope our packaging feels like a love letter: to you, and to the Earth. Thank you for joining us on this journey. Every purchase you make helps support small makers, regenerative practices, and a vision of beauty that’s as intentional as it is inspiring. With gratitude,The Luna & Lark Apothecary Team
