Our Environmental Skincare Policy

At Nubeean Noosa, our environmental skincare values aren't just green marketing—they're woven into everything we do. Founded by Naturopath Sarah Luck and Philip Eggleton in the beautiful Noosa Hinterland, our connection to the natural world isn't abstract; it's our daily reality and constant inspiration.

Eco Skincare Back to Basics: Reduce, Reuse, Rethink

While many brands focus on carbon offsetting and distant sustainability goals, we believe in direct, tangible actions that make an immediate difference:

Mindful Packaging

• Zero Unnecessary Packaging: We deliberately avoid cardboard boxing for our products that ends up immediately discarded
• Glass First: We prioritise glass containers for most products, minimizing plastic use
• Actively Seeking Better Solutions: For the few products still in plastic packaging, we're continuously researching sustainable alternatives
• 100% Plastic-Free Shipping: Every element of our shipping materials can be recycled or home-composted

Eco Skincare Philosophy

• Multitasking Formulations: We create versatile products that serve multiple purposes, reducing the total number of products needed
• Family-Friendly Design: Our clinical approach means one product works for everyone—no unnecessary "men's line" or "teen collection"
• Refill Program: Bring your empty containers to our Pomona store for discounted refills on selected products
• Larger Size Options: Most products are available in economical refill sizes to reduce packaging waste

Clean Production

• Chemical-Free Cleaning: We sterilise using UVC light and ozone instead of harsh chemicals
• Stabilized Chlorine Dioxide: When cleaning agents are necessary, we use options that break down into non-toxic salts
• Waterway Protection: Our production processes avoid chemicals that harm local water systems and aquatic animals including frogs
• Small-Batch Approach: Producing in small quantities reduces waste and ensures freshness

Living Our Values

As residents of the Noosa Hinterland, our environmental commitment extends beyond our business:

Habitat Stewardship

• Regular Tree Planting: We continually plant and maintain native trees on our family property
• Pesticide & Herbicide Free Land Management: We avoid the use of pesticides and herbicides in our surroundings
• Creative Reuse: Incoming cardboard becomes mulch for tree plantings and weed suppression
• Rainwater Collection: We utilise rainwater tanks to reduce our water footprint

Real sustainability isn't always picture-perfect. This green tree frog, casually lounging in our goat's water bucket, represents the authentic side of our environmental commitment. While glossy marketing campaigns might show pristine landscapes, true environmental stewardship happens in muddy boots, working hands, and unexpected moments like these. For us, protecting the environment means creating spaces where native wildlife thrives naturally alongside our daily operations - no filters, no staging, just genuine coexistence with the nature we're working to preserve.

Ethical Sourcing

• Cruelty-Free Guarantee: We use no ingredients tested on animals
• Transparent Supply Chain: Our minimalist approach to ingredients allows complete traceability
• Organic Priority: We select organic raw materials whenever possible
• Ethical Beekeeping: We maintain our own bees using chemical-free, humane practices

Based in the Noosa Hinterland, Nubeean Noosa represents a new generation of **Australian organic skincare brands** committed to authentic environmental practices. Our **eco-friendly skincare** approach extends from our formulations to our packaging, manufacturing processes, and community involvement.

Our Promise

We may not have the marketing budget of larger companies, but we have something more valuable: authentic practices that genuinely protect the environment we love. We make these choices because we want our children - and your children - to inherit a healthy planet.

Our approach isn't about following trends or meeting minimum standards—it's about doing what's right, even when no one's looking. That's the difference between green marketing and true environmental stewardship.

We invite you to join us in this commitment to responsible skincare that honours both your skin and our shared environment.
