ABOUT | SUSTAINABLE ETHOS
Sustainable skincare for interconnected wellbeing
The DR. THIESS skincare brand is built on the core values of efficacy, scientific knowledge and high quality ingredients, all with the goal of supporting skin health. Knowing that our own wellbeing is inextricably linked with the world around us, we are dedicated to sustainable business practices when it comes to the ingredients we use as well as the way we source, package and distribute our products, and we encourage our clients to do the same.

Recyclable product packaging
DR. THIESS is dedicated to minimising the prevalence of single-use materials and encouraging reuse of materials wherever possible. As a result, we have made a proactive choice to choose packaging that can be reused and recycled. We have opted to move away from industry standards such as cellophane wrappers and spatulas in an effort to minimise waste production. Instead, all our packaging is fully recyclable, prioritising the use of glass whenever we can.
Protecting our water sources
We are mindful of the impact that hazardous chemicals can have both on the individual and as they infiltrate the water supply during manufacturing processes (which in turn exaggerates energy consumption in wastewater filtration processes). Therefore, in our packaging and printed materials we have chosen to invest in dyes that are free from toxic ingredients.

Safe skincare ingredients
The safety of our clients is our top priority, alongside the efficacy of our products. Instead of masking signs of ageing by irritating the skin, we want to support true skin health and wellbeing. The skin is the body’s largest organ and what we put on it is absorbed into our systems. We are therefore committed to the use of safe ingredients. All of the DR. THIESS products are free from parabens, SLS, SLES, DEA, talc, petrolatum, paraffin, mineral oil, gluten and artificial colourants.
