Ethical Buying
From source to skin and beyond: Our stance on ethical buying
At The Magic Of Wax, we’re all about letting our creative juices flow, and that doesn’t just apply to our products. From day one, our goal has been to hunt down the absolute best, safest, and most stunning ingredients out there.
Getting our hands on top-notch ingredients means hitting the road and scouring the globe ourselves. Our dedicated Buying team works their socks off to make sure we get the good stuff. Sometimes, it means thinking outside the box and finding smart solutions to tricky challenges, like tracking down the finest essential oils, nabbing the best natural materials, using safe synthetics, opting for 100% recycled packaging, or ditching palm oil from our products. And hey, we’re not just in it for us – we’re super committed to the communities and places where we source our ingredients.
We believe in buying ingredients in a way that respects the environment and the folks who call those places home. That’s why we’re big supporters of Fair Trade and Community Trade initiatives. We take a good hard look at how our buying affects people and the planet, and we make responsible choices about where, who, and how we get our ingredients and packaging.
When we’re on the hunt for ingredients, we’ve got a checklist of ethical considerations in mind:
– Workers’ rights: We’re all about supporting unions, fair pay, safe working conditions, and saying no to child labor.
– Environment: We’re into organic, sustainable stuff, and we’re careful not to mess with endangered species or pump out harmful emissions.
– Animal protection: No animal testing, ever. And our ingredients? They’re all veggie-friendly.
– Transport: We keep an eye on how far ingredients travel and try to minimise air freight. Plus, we’re picky about our packaging materials.
