DRIVEN BY CARE & DEDICATED TO TRANSPARENCY

Sparkle Wellness is always conscious of our responsibility to the environment and is committed to minimizing our ecological footprint and protecting the planet for generations to come. We continuously strive to make sustainable choices, from sourcing ingredients to product packaging to waste reduction.

We also believe in transparency and encourage our customers to join us in our environmental endeavor. Check this page regularly to stay informed about our sustainability initiatives and for updates on our progress in this mission.

ACTION UPDATES

In late 2023, we went scoopless with new product launches, starting with our Skin Boost Plus range. We have since been able to roll out this initiative to all our products.

What do I do instead? In place of a scoop, we suggest using a teaspoon according to our serving directions, which are available back of pack. You can also purchase our Sparkle Wellness chartreuse teaspoon, which will be launching very soon.

Our goal: Save seven tonnes of plastic each year and continue towards our goal of becoming plastic pollution-free.

In 2025, we’ve introduced compostable pouches that are designed for industrial composting and we are changing the packaging over product by product.

With growing concerns around carbon emissions and plastic pollution, there are multiple benefits to using compostable packaging. This is just the first step in this initiative and we hope to establish this standard across all of our products in the coming years. 

What's great about compostable packaging:

• Produced with natural and sustainable materials such as paper and compostable plastics.
• Breaks down quickly under the right conditions.
• Leaves nearly no trace in the environment.

While compostable pouches help to mitigate the reliance on fossil fuels and are made with renewable plant-based materials, we understand that there is no ongoing benefit unless these pouches are composted in the right environment. For this reason, Sparkle Wellness is looking to introduce a closed-loop recycling system in the coming months to offer an easy and free solution to consumers who want to complete the sustainable cycle and reduce their post-consumer waste, and ensure the pouches are composted through industrial composts. 

Our dream is to build a community-focused,  environmentally-conscious brand with 100% sustainable materials and carbon-neutral operations.

As we develop products that care for the human body, we have a purpose to care for our planet as well. We hope to make a positive impact on you, our customers, our suppliers, our employees and planet earth. 

Early on, we made the conscious decision to manufacture all of our products in the US and try our best to source locally made ingredients to remove unnecessary carbon emissions produced when shipping raw materials across the ocean. We vigorously work to minimize unnecessary packaging waste within our own operations and try to encourage our suppliers to find new solutions for excessive plastic packaging. We’re also setting a goal to close the end-of-life loop of our products before they end up in landfills. This system will allow consumers to send back finished packaging for industrial composting on our premises. 

Our Sustainability Initiatives:  A Plan of Action

INGREDIENTS & SOURCING

Committed to science

First and foremost, your health is our priority. Ensuring we find the purest and safest ingredients is our first job. We meticulously research each choice to determine its effectiveness so that you are taking something that will aid your health without compromising any other aspect of it. We are a family-owned business that develops products that are safe and effective enough for our family and friends — that includes you.

We use ingredients by following the evidence through research and connections with trusted partners with proven records for fair practices. To us, it’s not only about finding the best ingredient but also about working with partners who are invested in sustainable production and environmentally friendly practices. 

Zoom Essence 

Our flavor partner, Zoom Essence, developed a unique process in the flavoring industry that reduced their energy and water consumption by 50 percent.

PACKAGING & PLASTICS

Green packaging

While we search for a biodegradable and compostable solution for all our products, we have opted for recyclable, BPA-free plastic jars and pouches in the meantime. We look forward to launching new products in 2024 that will align with our new green packaging goals. 

Closing the loop

This biodegradable option will allow us to develop our closed-loop recycling program, which will allow consumers to mail the pouch back for industrial composting. This program will significantly reduce the footprint of our products.

No more scoops

In Dec 2023, we began shipping scoop-free products to our consumers. With this initiative, we expect to save up to seven tonnes of plastic in the first three years.

Other plastic use

Alternatives for all other plastic use, including the seal, will continue to be investigated.
