Environmental Stewardship

When you choose bath and body products from Gilchrist & Soames, you can rest assured you are purchasing products from a company who is deeply committed to protecting our global environment.

From environmentally-friendly formulations to highly-recyclable packaging, from “green” manufacturing processes to partnering with environmentally conscious companies, Gilchrist & Soames is committed to reducing our environmental footprint while maintaining the highest levels of excellence.

As part of our sustainability strategy, we've undertaken three key research initiatives:

• Carbon emissions. We’ve estimated our total carbon footprint and developed a strategy to reduce our total Greenhouse Gas emissions. Our goal is to become carbon neutral through multiple operational and other initiatives.
• Formulations. Together with Purdue University, we’re evaluating the impact of our ingredients on soil and water to ensure our high-quality products have the lowest possible environmental impact. We're also committed to cruelty-free development and vow to never test our products on animals.
• Plastics Recycling. We are actively engaged in recycling efforts to lessen our impact on the environment. Our bottles, cartons, and labels are made from the most readily available recyclable materials, and we use a variety of packaging materials including recycled fiberboard, packer cartons, and resins that are highly recyclable.

We vow to talk the talk and walk gently.
