At ZENTS we believe that every day is Earth Day and continually strive to give back and support our planet. ZENTS prides itself in leading the efforts in sustainable beauty not only in packaging, but throughout our entire supply chain. We are dedicated to bringing goodness to the world in all that we do whether that is through sourcing local ingredients, supporting small business, minimizing waste, or choosing packaging that can easily be recycled.

Our founder, Cord Coen, made this his mission and it has been at the foundation of our company since its inception. ZENTS was born out of a desire to provide a deeper sense of healing in our constantly connected world not only to the many that benefit from our products, but to Mother Nature as well.

Some of the ways in which we try to minimize our footprint on the environment and give back to our community that you may not know about…

Ingredient Sourcing
When possible, ZENTS is proud to source ingredients ethically, responsibly and whenever possible, locally. The large majority of our products contain sustainably harvested shea butter that supports women’s co-ops in Africa.

Packaging
ZENTS utilizes 100% recyclable glass bottles, recyclable plastic, or artisan-carved stone vessels that can be reused and is minimally packaged. ZENTS Bath Truffles are wrapped with recyclable foil wraps. ZENTS Soap is made with sustainably harvested shea butter that supports women’s co-ops in Africa and wrapped in FSC sustainable paper printed with vegetable ink. This significantly reduces excess paper and waste.

When it comes to packaging, if you’re looking for some fun ways to upcycle your Concreta or other skincare packaging once you’re finished with it, remove and recycle any plastic container or excess paper, and give these a try:

* Using as a candle holder
* A place to store jewelry, cuff links, or even hair accessories such as bobby pins, etc
* A secret hiding spot for your most prized possessions
* As a gift box for a present
* A pot holder for a small seedling or succulent

We love to take care of our planet and keep mindfulness at the core of all that we do. Click here to learn more about What We Believe, and click here to learn about how our actions help us in choosing Star Ingredients in our intentionally crafted formulas.
