Both Leave-In Detangler Sprays come in Plant Based Bio-plastic Bottles that are Fossil Fuel Free | BPA Fee | Recyclable
When we began crafting Sustainable Glam we not only set out to look for the best ingredients worldwide but also look for a sustainable bottle that would work with our product.
By using bioplastic bottles made from ethanol, a renewable and sustainable raw material produced from sugarcane, we are able to deliver improved sustainability and reduce our overall carbon footprint.
Sugarcane is a highly renewable crop in comparison to conventional polyethylene plastic. The main difference is that the ethanol used for our bioplastic bottles is not produced using crude oil, but instead is derived from sugarcane. Therefore, from a life-cycle perspective, each ton of sugar cane bioplastic used to produce our bottles captures up to 3.09 tons of CO2, thus helping to reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions.

We also went further and obtained the I’m Green seal which guarantees the biogenic carbon content of our sugarcane bottles.
In addition, our sugarcane bioplastic is fully recyclable through post-consumer recycling channels of traditional plastics. Just place on blue recycle bin to dispose.
On November 19, 2020 our I’m Green bioplastic used in our bottles was awarded Best Sustainable Initiative by Chemical Week Magazine for its biobased sugarcane polymer production, which captures carbon dioxide (CO2) and contributes to reducing CO2 emissions. The award recognizes the overall quality of sustainability-related metrics, overall impact of sustainability and environmental factors, social and governance metrics, transparency, and disclosure.
In February 2020 we conducted a Radiocarbon C14 Analysis on our bottles which showed 100% bio based content.
13in1 Epic Oil comes in PCR [Post Consumer Recycle] Bottle & Aluminum Cap | 100% Recyclable
For packaging your orders we ship from our warehouse we use:
- Biodegradable packing peanuts made from vegetable starch.
- Recyclable kraft paper.
- Recyclable carton boxes.
We neutralize and offset our shipping emissions that contribute to climate change.
With the purchase of our products you are also supporting an environmentally-friendly business that invests in sustainability initiatives to counteract the environmental impact of shipping. Every month, we calculate the total emissions generated by our shipped orders, and that number becomes our monthly offset cost that goes towards forest protection initiatives.
