Planet-Friendly Packaging
Almost 200 million tonnes of single-use plastic waste is generated globally annually with UK households alone throwing away 100 billion pieces of plastic packaging each year.
Reducing your plastic waste is a great way to start your sustainability journey (and it will mean bins to put out too - so win/win!
At Windle LAB, we offer refill pouches for our most popular products, helping you minimise your use of single-use plastic, and also saving you money. And we’ve switched to aluminium packaging to increase the recyclability too.
Swapping your usual shampoo and conditioner for Shampoo and Conditioner Bars is another simple and effective way to take your first step to becoming more environmentally friendly. And what’s more, they’re a great option if you’re travelling or have limited space in your bathroom.
Production Promises
If you’re serious about creating a haircare regime that makes your hair feel great and aligns with your sustainable goals, understanding where and how your haircare products are produced is important. After all, there’s nothing sustainable about a bottle of shampoo that has covered more air miles than Taylor Swift on the Eras tour.
Reputable suppliers will be transparent about their sustainability commitments, often outlining their energy choices, water consumption and responsible production.
At Windle, all of our haircare products are made in our UK-based laboratory located in the Lake District. The site uses solar panels as our energy source, contributing to clean energy, while our in-house water filtration system reduces the reliance on imported water and energy-intensive sanitisation methods such as distillation.
Ingredients
When choosing shampoos for sustainable haircare, it's essential to focus on products crafted with ethically sourced and environmentally friendly ingredients.
In our lab, we take great pride in creating products that align with our commitment to sustainability and ethical practices. Our shea butter is ethically sourced from a women’s cooperative in Ghana, providing fair opportunities and empowering local communities. All our products are cruelty-free, ensuring that no animals are harmed in the process of bringing you high-quality haircare. We also prioritise the use of natural oils that are ethically sourced from suppliers who are deeply committed to reducing deforestation.
Our formulas are completely free from palm oil, reflecting our dedication to protecting rainforests and promoting environmental conservation. By choosing Windle LAB, you’re not just taking care of your hair – you’re actively supporting a more sustainable and ethical future for the planet.
Buying what we need
Many of us are choosing to try and live a more conscious lifestyle this year when it comes to purchasing products. We can all be guilty of buying unnecessary products that sit on our shelves.
That’s why we’ve created our The Windle LAB Intro set. Small bur perfectly formed, this bundle includes some of our most popular products in miniature sizes so you can try them before committing to buying larger versions.
Whatever your hair needs, our haircare products will help you look you best while staying sustainable.
