Recycling conserves natural resources, reduces pollution and saves energy. Recycling involves sorting and cleaning up trash to produce “secondary materials” — mainly glass, paper, metal and plastic — for reuse in products. All our HAIRSHOP products are recycable and if you live in Sydney you can visit our sister company Studio Muse to refill your Shampoo and Conditioners* reducing end-of-life impact even more.

Plastic bags pose ecological problems. They take hundreds of years to decompose and pose a particular threat to wildlife. Hundreds of thousands of marine mammals die every year after mistaking plastic bags, which are laced with chemicals, for food. Many animals get entangled in plastic bags and suffocate.

A sound approach to retail bags is to decline them when your purchase is otherwise carriable or bring your own bags.

Keep it simple, even when selecting your personal products, we are all guilty of having a bathroom full of products that we don’t even use, if so get them out and use them! Find the products that work for you and that you love. Excessive personal consumption of goods means higher direct and indirect costs to the environment, including the energy used and pollution emitted in the extraction of natural resources, and in the manufacturing, transportation, and disposal of goods.

We love the fact all our suppliers are all about minimalism,
keeping the product ranges small and not having 5 products that do the same thing.

Eating cleaner will not only have you feeling great but will reduce your carbon footprint if you limit the amount of meat and dairy you consume. Animal-derived food production has a much higher greenhouse gas output than grain and vegetable production because of the highly inefficient transfer of plant energy to animal energy. Depending on how it’s measured, animal-based agriculture is responsible for about 15% of all worldwide GHG emissions, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Eating a range of fruit, vegetables and wholefoods will also give your skin, hair and nails the the ultimate base to thrive!
