Sustainability and why it’s important to us. 

At Gwapa, we strongly believe that creating a sustainable beauty brand shouldn’t cost the earth. Did you know the cosmetics industry contributes to approximately ‘120 billion units of packaging and a loss of 18 million acres of forest every year?’-  Zero Waste Week   

Those are some staggering statistics and it’s scary. So here at Gwapa we are mindful about doing things differently to protect Australia’s stunning landscape and our planet that inspires us each day. 

We believe in using the absolute minimum packaging needed to ensure your luxurious skincare arrives in mint condition, nothing more nothing less.  

We only use recyclable packaging for our products (either reusable glass or PET) and have put a lot of thought into our shipping and design.  

Our eco-friendly boxes, crinkle paper and thank you notes are all recyclable and we only use added padding for items that are breakable – seems logical right? Wherever possible we aim to use local suppliers and manufacturers to  minimise our environmental impact and carbon footprint.

At Gwapa, we source naturally-derived, high-performing Australian ingredients, which are non-toxic and cruelty-free, and we stand by our environmentally friendly ethos at every turn. We believe in only the essentials, and just like our products we don’t include anything that doesn’t serve a purpose.
