Klei Beauty

Conscious Packaging

All Klei products are packaged in glass containers, and I am focused on minimizing our use of plastic. For now, I use white PP lids for all jarred products, as this is an easily recycled material. The white color is important - black lids are not recyclable, despite being made of the same type of plastic. Recycling facilities sort plastics by bouncing a beam of light off them. As black plastic absorbs light, it can't be sorted and goes straight through the system and off to the landfill or incineration.

Our warehouse only uses sustainable packing materials to safely ship your orders, we do not use bubble wrap or styrofoam peanuts.

Giving Back

"A portion of online sales is donated to the Brooklyn Community Foundation and the Environmental Defense Fund.
The Brooklyn Community Foundation is the first and only public foundation solely dedicated to Brooklyn’s charitable community, working in partnership with generous donors and community leaders to invest in racial justice and community-led change." [x]

"The Environmental Defense Fund’s mission is to preserve the natural systems on which all life depends. Guided by science and economics, we find practical and lasting solutions to the most serious environmental problems. We work in concert with other organizations – as well as with business, government, and communities – to avoid duplicating work already being done effectively by others." [x]

Ethically Sourced Ingredients

Klei’s founder, Val, sources all of the ingredients used in their formulations herself, prioritizing ingredients from local suppliers when possible. They only work with verified cruelty-free suppliers, to ensure that they can safely claim that Klei’s products are cruelty-free. Klei also takes special care to ensure that endangered ingredients, like Sandalwood and Palo Santo, are not used in their formulations. Whenever possible, they choose to source Ecocert ingredients.
