Sown with Intention
Sustainability is no longer a choice and positive change starts with us.
Thoughtful by Nature
We think creating products comes with clear cut environmental responsibilities. From the initial concept to ingredient sourcing, product formulation, packaging and eventual end-of-life, we consider every decision in order to mitigate our impact on our planet. Through relationships with like-minded, eco-driven suppliers and partners, we are proud to be adopting this methodology within the beauty industry.
Manufacturing
Our culture of sownstainability feeds into our manufacturing practices.
We manufacture at facilities that are:
Audited to ISO 9001 and 14001 Quality and Environmental Management Systems
Carbon Neutral/ Green Manufacturing
GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) Certified and Compliant Facilities
Made in the United States Means Reduced Carbon Emissions
Ingredients
Our vegan and cruelty-free serums are made with responsibly sourced, premium ingredients that are backed by science, creating high performing hair growth products that actually work.
Packaging
We believe in a circular economy.
When designing our packaging we took a grass-root approach to fully dissect and understand the life cycle of a product, its packaging and where it goes after we throw it away.
Tubes
All of our serum tubes are made from 30% post consumer recycled plastic (RPET), made from fully recyclable, 100% PETG and ABS plastic (which means disposing in kerbside recycling is easy). These materials have a lower carbon footprint in production compared to a lot of other lash and brow tubes. Also the small slender shape means we ship easily & efficiently, minimising our carbon footprint.
We print directly onto all tubes and boxes to avoid sticky plastic labels.
Shipping Boxes
PCR paper is also used on our shipping boxes. The surface isn’t shiny or smooth because we don’t laminate them, meaning they can be easily recycled.
They're also printed on FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified paper, meaning the forests that provide the wood for our paper are responsibly managed. This paper stock like all our packaging, is of course, recyclable.
SOWN always has room to grow into an even more sustainable brand and we are hyper aware of our impact and we hope to make it easier for you to be a conscious consumer.

Recyclability
How to recycle each product and component
Our Components
We plant the future by rethinking the end of every product.
Shipping Carton : 100% recycled paper
Since they're printed on FSC certified paper, meaning the forests that provide the wood for our paper are responsibly managed, this, along with the fact they are uncoated and are matte paper, means they're fully recyclable.
How to recycle: Place the box in your paper/card recycling box after use.
Lid: 30% recycled plastic
All our serum tubes are made from 30% post consumer recycled plastic (RPET), made from fully recyclable 100% PETG plastic (which means disposing in kerbside recycling is easy).
How to recycle: Ensure all liquid is finished and pop into recycling bin together with the wand and tube (they don't need to be separated.)
Wand: 30% recycled plastic
