SUSTAINABILITY AT BALMYDAYS
At balmydays, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword, it’s a core part of how we create, package, and deliver your lip care routine. From sugarcane tubes, recyclable packaging, compostable mailers and reusable accessories, we’ve made intentional choices to reduce waste and tread lightly.
PACKAGING WITH PURPOSE
We’ve designed our packaging to be as low-impact as possible, without compromising quality or experience.
LIP BALM TUBES
Recycle. Made from HDPE and designed for kerbside recycling in most areas.
LIP BALM CAPS
Recycle. Crafted from PETG, a recyclable plastic known for durability and clarity.
LIP SERUM TUBES
Recycle. Made from Sugarcane-based plastic, which is derived from renewable sugar cane plants. Includes PP lid —all fully recyclable through Australian kerbside systems.
LIP EXFOLIANT JAR
Recycle. Packaged in a glass vessel, which is endlessly recyclable or reuse the jar.
GENERAL CARDBOARD PACKAGING
All recyclable, just pop it in your recycling bin.
OUR MANUFACTURING & INGREDIENT STANDARDS
We work with partners who align with our values:
LOW-IMPACT MANUFACTURING
We choose manufacturers who are actively working to reduce their carbon footprint.
ETHICALLY SOURCED INGREDIENTS
Every ingredient we use is traceable and responsibly harvested.
100% VEGAN
No animal testing, no animal by-products—ever.
THOUGHTFULLY REUSABLE
We're all about long-term love, not single-use waste.
Soft Swipe Puff Makeup Pads: Washable, reusable, and gentle on skin and the planet.
Go Bags: Made from durable silicone, designed to travel with you again and again.
COMPOSTABLE SHIPPING
Your order arrives in a 100% compostable mailer bag, made to break down naturally, not sit in landfill. Even our shipping labels are made from recycled materials and printed with eco-friendly thermo printer with no harmful inks.
WHAT CAN'T BE RECYCLED YET
We’re transparent about the small parts that still need work:
The silicone tip on the lip balm tube and the plastic lid on the lip exfoliant jar are currently non-recyclable in kerb side recycling and should be disposed of in general waste.
These parts are minimal by design, and we’re actively exploring better alternatives.
LOCALLY MADE, LOWER IMPACT
To reduce our environmental footprint, all our lip balm, serum and exfoliant formulas are developed and produced in Australia, cutting down significantly on air miles and overseas shipping emissions.
