Orange Cottage Organics

In a world where conscious consumerism is on the rise, Orange Cottage Organics stands as a beacon of sustainability. Our commitment to the environment goes beyond just creating nourishing skincare products; it extends to every aspect of our brand. Today, we delve into our sustainable practices, focusing on our innovative packaging choices and how they align with our mission.

Wheat Straw Containers: A Natural Evolution

At Orange Cottage Organics, we believe that packaging should be as kind to the Earth as our ingredients are to your skin. That’s why we’re excited to start sourcing and testing wheat straw containers for our luxurious butters and balms. But what exactly is wheat straw packaging?

  • Wheat Straw: Derived from the leftover stalks of wheat after harvest, wheat straw is a renewable resource. By using it for our containers, we reduce the demand for traditional plastic and contribute to a circular economy.
  • Eco-Friendly Production: Wheat straw containers are manufactured using minimal energy and water, making them a sustainable alternative to conventional plastic. They’re sturdy, lightweight, and compostable, ensuring they leave a positive impact on the planet.
  • OCO Products: Explore our Vanilla Cashmere Body Butter and Coconut Mama Lotion Stick to experience the goodness firsthand.

Kraft Containers: Rustic Charm Meets Sustainability

While wheat straw is our latest addition, we’ve long been fans of Kraft containers. Here’s why:

  • Natural Aesthetics: Kraft paper exudes a rustic, earthy vibe. It’s like wrapping your skincare in a warm hug from nature.
  • Recyclability: Kraft containers are easily recyclable, reducing waste and minimizing our ecological footprint.
  • Versatility: From lip balms to travel-sized creams, our Kraft containers accommodate various product sizes.
  • OCO Products: Discover our Natural Lip Balms and Lavender Geranium Belly Balm.

Glass and Aluminum Jars: Reusable Elegance

Our commitment to sustainability extends to our glass and aluminium jars:

  • Glass: Transparent, timeless, and endlessly reusable. Our glass jars protect your skincare while minimizing environmental impact. Plus, they’re perfect for up-cycling—think DIY candle holders or herb planters!
  • Aluminum: Lightweight, non-toxic, and infinitely recyclable. Our aluminum jars keep your creams fresh and contribute to a circular materials economy.
  • OCO Products: Explore our Organic Coffee Body Butter and African Black Soap Body Wash.
