WHY IS
Our Impact
SO IMPORTANT?
As the change of our Earth’s climate becomes more difficult to combat, each of our ecological footprints becomes more important to manage. As a business, we know that our impact is greater and we have a responsibility & opportunity to do more, so that’s why we do everything we can to minimize our footprint.
Our sheet mask fabric is made of cupra, an organic cotton material that is usually disposed of from the plant. It’s compostable and the packaging for the sheet masks are recyclable. The outer tube packaging for our facial tools is made of recycled paper and is printed with soy ink. Traditional inks are petroleum based so soybean-based soy ink is the more environmentally friendly alternative.

Sustainability Initiatives
Our Sheet Mask Packaging
Both our sheet mask pouch and box fall into the LDPE 4 recyclable category. LDPE stands for low-density polyethylene, a soft and flexible plastic that doesn’t break easily and is resistant to outside chemicals or moisture. LDPE can also be given a second life in items such as trash cans, compost bins, garbage bags, floor tile, and more!
Visit your local recycling center for more information on how to properly dispose of recyclables.
Our Masks Are Made From
Cupra
Cupra is a compostable fabric made from cotton linter, which is known for its soft texture and serum absorption.
*Cotton linter was previously discarded as a waste material during cotton processing. Now, we are reusing this compostable and vegan material in our masks.
Our Compostable Certifications
All ESW Beauty sheet masks are made from a certified compostable cupra material. Our cupra is certified for:
- Compostable (home)
- Compostable (industrial)
- Biodegradable (soil)
- Biodegradable (marine)
Facial Tools Packaging
Our facial tools are packaged in paper tubes made of post-consumer recycled materials which have already served their original purpose. Rather than taking up space in a landfill or harvesting virgin materials, post-consumer materials give purpose to recycled materials and help contribute to the closed-loop recycling process.
Why soy ink?
The ink used on our facial tools packaging is soy-based, meaning it is derived from soy plants rather than from petroleum. Unlike the compounds in petroleum-based ink, soy ink does not include any heavy metals that can pollute water and soil when left in a landfill.
