Kiehl’s Refill Revolution: Less Plastic, More Savings

At Kiehl’s, we believe that taking care of your skin shouldn’t come at the cost of the planet. Join our Refill Revolution and make a positive impact with every product you love. By choosing to refill, you’re not only saving on packaging waste but also playing an essential role in reducing plastic consumption.

Why Refill?

• Less Waste, More Care: Each refillable skincare minimizes the need for single-use plastic, cutting down on waste that pollutes our oceans and landfills.
• Sustainable Choices: Refill your favorite Kiehl’s products and reduce your environmental footprint with every purchase.
• Easy and Convenient: Keep your bathroom shelves stocked with the Kiehl’s products you love while reducing unnecessary packaging.
• Save Money: Enjoy up to 30% savings with refill pouches! These refills are often available in larger sizes and simpler packaging, so you get more of what you love for less.
• Hassle-Free Refills: Skip the hunt for travel-sized products! Kiehl’s refill pouches make it easy to refill your travel containers with your favorites.

How is Kiehl’s heading towards a circular economy?

The term circular economy is inspired by nature's way of doing things (based on the Ellen MacArthur foundation). In the circular economy, products and materials are reused, repaired, refurbished, remanufactured, and recycled to extend their life cycle and reduce environmental impact.

Kiehl's commitment to a circular economy can be observed through several initiatives that emphasize sustainability and responsible consumption. Here's how they are progressing towards this goal:

• Refillable Packaging: A significant stride towards a circular economy is Kiehl's development of refillable packaging. This not only reduces waste but also encourages consumers to reuse their containers by refilling them at Kiehl’s stores.
• Recycling Programs: Kiehl’s offers a recycling program where customers can return empty product containers to stores for recycling. This program supports the reduction of waste and encourages a lifecycle approach to product packaging.
• Sustainable Ingredients: Kiehl’s focuses on sourcing ingredients sustainably, ensuring that their products are produced with respect for the environment and local communities. This approach supports biodiversity and reduces environmental impact.
• Eco-friendly Manufacturing: The company strives to improve its manufacturing processes by using more renewable energy and reducing water consumption. This eco-friendly skincare aligns with the principles of a circular economy by minimizing resource waste and pollution.
• Community Engagement: Kiehl’s engages in community outreach and education programs that promote environmental awareness and encourage sustainable practices among consumers.

Kiehl’s is focused on the resources used to formulate products, including bio-based ingredients, derived from abundant minerals and circular processes. Kiehl’s Mission Renewal encapsulates the brand's ongoing commitment to sustainability, community, and high-quality skincare while evolving to meet the demands of an eco-conscious world.
