WE ARE PARADOXX is The Plastic-Free Beauty Company. For us, this means proudly exhibiting our passion for the beauty industry + the plastic-free packaging alternatives that can be used.
All our products are housed in 90-100% plastic-free packaging made from aluminium or stainless steel, which are infinitely recyclable materials - unlike plastic. No matter how many times it is recycled, it maintains its grade and can be reused in the same form. Whatsmore, when plastic degrades it releases toxic chemicals into our oceans which directly harms marine life.
So everytime you pop your WE ARE PARADOXX products in your recycling bin, you can rest assured that you aren't contributing to plastic pollution + rather you are helping save the planet.
Because sustainability lies at the heart of what we do, we try to make recycling our products as easy + hassle-free as possible. Here's what you need to do:
