ZERO WASTE OIL PROCESS

Sunday Riley was ranked the #1 face oil brand* in the US prestige skincare market according to Circana retail tracking service, and with that comes a responsibility to produce sustainably. Our Zero Waste Oil Process ensures that 90% of the seed not used for oil isn’t wasted: it’s transformed into nutrient-rich powders for supplements and plant-based proteins for animal and pet use.

PLASTIC NEUTRAL

We’re proud to be Plastic Neutral. Since 2022, we’ve partnered with rePurpose Global and other organizations to recover as much plastic as we use, ensuring ethical and traceable impact. Our product LCAs are regularly updated to monitor plastic use and support our ongoing commitment to a plastic-neutral future.

BEAUTY EMPTIES COLLECTION PARTNER

We’re proud to partner with Pact Collective, a nonprofit working to reduce beauty packaging waste through circular solutions. Since most beauty packaging is hard to recycle, our partnership supports change with a mail-back program and drop-off bins at Sunday Riley x Pact pop-ups. To encourage participation, we offer free product samples at Sunday Riley x Pact events. Use this map to find a drop-off location near you, and check the collection and cleaning guidelines to ensure your packaging is accepted. 

PACKAGING WASTE REDUCTION

We’re advancing sustainability by redesigning our packaging with recycled and FSC-certified materials, eco-friendly inks, and recyclable varnishes. We've replaced EVA foam with pulp board, bubble wrap with Hexcel wrap, and are transitioning to mono-material packaging for easier recycling. Recent innovations include the C.E.O. Body Butter jar (30% PCR) and the fully recyclable, mono-material Aquamarine Melt bottle.

CARBON FOOTPRINT

We’re committed to continually reducing and offsetting our carbon footprint across our operations. We assess our impact annually to meet evolving sustainability standards, offset emissions from freight, e-commerce, and manufacturing, and reduce them by prioritizing sea freight and consolidating shipments. We also partner with a certified offset provider to neutralize each product’s footprint, and continually update our life cycle assessments (LCAs) to guide more sustainable decisions at every stage.

COMPANY COMMITMENT 

We’re committed to community and sustainability through meaningful action. We donated over 6,000 products to LA fire victims via a dedicated pop-up shop, ensuring direct support. Employees receive three paid Volunteer Time Off days annually, and we match charitable donations up to $500 to encourage giving. In our offices, we prioritize sustainability with energy-efficient appliances, motion-sensor lighting, non-toxic paint, and eco-friendly cleaning products.

SUPPLIER ACCOUNTABILITY

We hold our suppliers and manufacturers to rigorous standards for sustainability and human rights, ensuring alignment with our Supplier Code of Conduct. We source ingredients from environmentally responsible partners, primarily in the U.S., Europe, and Japan, and monitor their performance through audits and questionnaires to better understand their sustainability journeys.

CERTIFIED CRUELTY-FREE

Since our launch in 2009, we’ve never tested on animals. We’re proudly double certified cruelty-free by PETA and Leaping Bunny, meeting the strict standards of both organizations. Most of our products are vegan (excluding those with honey or beeswax), and all are 100% vegetarian.
