About Us
Hi, I'm Melanie
Natural ingredients, natural products
As we use unrefined/unprocessed, largely organic (and ALWAYS vegan/plant derived) ingredients, no two batches of our products are EVER the same in appearance. You can read more about this here
Occasionally our products - such as moisturisers - may appear as if they have 'split'; this does not effect the efficacy or quality of the product, and can be easily mixed back together.
As we use minimal preservatives, we encourage our customers to think of our products as 'skin food': don't buy and then put away in a cupboard for months at a time!
Packaging
Our packaging is a mixture of aluminium, bamboo (one of the fastest growing and most sustainable natural materials on the planet) and glass. Plastic atomiser and pump lids are available, but you can substitute these for aluminium screw caps if you'd rather.
We also now offer the option to select 'boxed' or 'unboxed' in each product listing, so if you'd rather avoid the outer box that many of the products come in, you can do so.
Moreover, our moisturiser jars (100ml) now come unglued so you can easily separate the aluminium inner from the bamboo outer and either recycle, or use the jars as you wish. We're currently trying to source a suitable aluminium inner jar in order to be able to provide a refill option - watch this space!
Packing Peanuts
Ours are made from potato starch, and can either be dissolved under running water, or simply popped in your general waste bin, food bin or compost and they will dissolve in a matter of days.
For the rest of our postage packaging, we use cardboard boxes (printed with vegan ink), tissue paper made from recycled materials, and sealed with paper tape.
Cruelty Free International Leaping Bunny Programme
White Rabbit Skincare believes that beauty products should be cruelty free.
We are proud to be Leaping Bunny approved. A global programme, Leaping Bunny requires cruelty free standards over and above legal requirements. All of our own brand cosmetic and personal care products are approved under the Cruelty Free International Leaping Bunny programme, the internationally recognisable gold standard for cruelty free products. We adhere to a fixed cut-off date policy and proactively monitor our suppliers to ensure that our products continue to adhere to the Leaping Bunny criteria. Our supplier monitoring system is also independently audited.

Offset carbon footprint
Our website is hosted by Shopify, and we are proudly working with them to off set our carbon footprint and support forest protection initiatives. We started the scheme in early May 2021, and plan to send out an update in our newsletter every month updating you with our emissions and how we've contributed to the carbon offset strategy.
