Sustainability

My business may be small, but no one ever made a difference by thinking they were too small to try – and that's why I try as hard as I can to be earth-conscious in my business practices.

Sweet Cherry Soda launched in 2016 with some eco-friendly initiatives that have driven change within the industry. Ever since, I've always been looking for new and better ways to do things to continually minimise the impact my business has on our planet.

Here are the things Sweet Cherry Soda is doing that you can feel great about supporting when you buy my products:

❤ One native tree is planted in Australia for every order placed, no matter the size of the order.

❤ All my bath bombs, soy wax melts, and samples are packaged in plant-based, biodegradable and home compostable cellophane. It’s made from sustainably sourced cellulose and will break down in your home compost in about 2 or 3 weeks. I’ve proudly used this type of cellophane from day one.

❤ All of my body scrubs and Shower Soufflé whipped soaps are packaged in re-usable, recyclable aluminium tins. This means you get a nifty container once your product runs out, and you’re saving plastic from ending up in landfill (a whopping 87% of recyclable plastic actually ends up in landfill).

❤ Premium Body Wash and Luxury Bath Salts are packaged in re-usable, recyclable glass packaging, with refill options available. Lip Scrubs are packaged in re-usable, recyclable glass pots. (Plastic is an option for body wash for accessibility and safety. Some folks may not feel safe having glass in their shower for a variety of reasons, and this is valid and important too).

❤ Orders are shipped plastic-free, using paper tape to seal the box shut. The peanuts keeping your goodies safe during transit are made of corn, are biodegradable and home compostable.

❤  I’m the creator of the first plastic-free vegan wax melt. I could never find a wax melt that wasn’t packaged in a plastic container, or in a soft plastic wrapping. So I decided to make it a thing!

❤ All Sweet Cherry Soda products are vegan. I’m handcrafting the highest quality luxury cosmetics for you to enjoy, while leaving our animal buddies out of them. None of my products are tested on animals, and I only purchase ingredients from suppliers who don't test on animals either.

So THANK YOU for choosing the most earth-conscious and sustainable business for your bath, body and home products! Love your goodies? Show them off in my Facebook group, Soda Babes of Sweet Cherry Soda, post a snap on your Instagram, or leave me a review on Google or Facebook ✌
