For us, sustainability is OUAI important. There’s room for improvement but we’re constantly working toward a better OUAI, because ultimately, getting greener means doing good for our earth. Keep reading to learn how we're reducing our environmental impact.
Recyclable Shampoos & Conditioners:
Our Detox Shampoo is recyclable, just like all our FINE, MEDIUM, and THICK Shampoos and Conditioners. The bottle and cap are 100% recyclable and made from PCR, or Post Consumer Resin, which is a material that's made from plastic that's been recycled, cleaned, and processed.
Benefits of PCR:
- Less plastic end up in landfills
- Smaller carbon footprint
- Less microplastics end up in the environment
- Plus, it can be recycled again and again!
