Since 2008, our production facilities have been using 100% certified green electricity. This allows us to save more than 350 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually. As of 2024, we have offset a total of 17,400 tons of carbon.

We pride ourselves on being one of the first international family-owned beauty companies that is 100% carbon neutral. We are also one of the few beauty brands that is demonstrably set to meet the Paris Agreement’s goal of reducing global temperature by 1.5 degrees by 2030. From manufacturing to shipping, we actively do our part to reverse the crisis of global warming.

We use FSC paper and easily recyclable plastics in our production. We do not use sticker labels as they clog the ease with which plastics can be broken down and re-used. Our greatest achievement, however, is that we use 100% post-use recycled plastics in our professional sized shampoos. Worldwide, thousands of tons of plastics are in circulation for multiple uses, a first of kind achievement for a family owned beauty brand.

All recyclable waste in our Sydney offices is sent to Sustainable Salons where we send back paper, metals and plastics. 100% of our Australian operations, including product delivery to salons and consumers is 100% offset. The old adage "Take only photos, leave only footprints" is surely a great Aussie saying, but we'd like to update that with no footprint at all. Proudly, we have no carbon footprint.

Our products are made of over 90% natural ingredients. We also source our ingredients including palm oil and argan oil from sustainable sources. These locations do not use ‘burning’ to clear land and destroy natural animal habitats.

While our packaging is 100% recyclable, we look after the effects of post-products as well. Our skincare scrubs use natural enzymes and bamboo particles that will not contaminate waterways. Our sunscreens and UV blocking ingredients do not use oxybenzones that destroy reefs. Importantly, we choose natural ammonia for our hair colouring which is safe and naturally evaporates, unlike MEA which does not evaporate.

In 2023, La Biosthetique was awarded the two top sustainability awards in Europe (The German Sustainability Award 2023 and the Global Transition Award 2022) , awarded to those who demonstrate their commitment and action in the sustainability space.  

La Biosthetique is the first and only brand that combines the industry of hairdressing with active global, humanitarian aid through our Colour With Care Program. Since 2017, we have raised funds for the medical relief efforts of Medecins Sans Forntiers. From Ukraine to Sudan, our funds help provide critical relief for men, women and children as well as support for doctors, nurses and medical staff giving life-supporting care.

Our stylists love knowing that with each colour tube they use, they are providing the equivalent of an emergency meal for someone in need. In five years, we have delivered the equivalent donations to an excess of 150,000 Emergency Nutrition Packs (also known as plumpy nut).
