Exclusive to The Fragrance Shop – IKON released its debut line of six vegan Eau De Parfums created entirely from natural and responsibly sourced ingredients. The conscious collection was built to amplify the irreplaceable beauty of nature, both in scent and packaging.
As we all look to ensure the products we use are sustainable, you may wonder: Are fragrances eco-friendly? Can I recycle my bottles? Do the formulas and materials help or harm the planet?
IKON aims for 100% sustainability as the fragrance industry makes changes to catch up. How does it do? Let’s get to know the brand a little better and find out.
What makes fragrance sustainable?
For fragrance to be sustainable, it goes a lot further than recycled packaging, although that is certainly a must.
IKON fragrances are recycled and almost entirely recyclable, with the bottle and its box made with environmentally conscious materials to be waste-free. Made from a lighter and more durable glass, the bottle is topped with a Manchurian ash wood cap. Meanwhile, the bottles themselves are all packaged in simple cardboard cylinder boxes to be compostable.
In addition to the recycled outer materials, the inner formula of fragrances themselves are also sourced in ways that carry minimal impact on the planet. They must reduce carbon footprint by choosing local suppliers to reduce fuel emissions, and work with suppliers who also operate a cruelty-free, eco-friendly work cycle.
Is IKON responsibly sourced?
In one word: Yes. In detail, here’s how:
Manufactured locally, all fragrances are formulated with natural, vegan and responsibly sourced key ingredients for customers who aren’t willing to compromise.
All six of the Eau de Parfum fragrances are made entirely from natural ingredients with the majority sourced and manufactured locally to reduce carbon footprint. Only three naturals are responsibly sourced elsewhere: Sandalwood Oil (Australia), Jasmine Absolute (Egypt) and Pepperwood Oil (Australia).
How are natural ingredients different to synthetic?
The ultimate goal of sustainability is to reduce negative environmental impact and avoidable resource consumption. So, a majority of synthetic fragrances aren’t bad for the environment, per se, as most nowadays are made with all natural oils. However, sustainably made, natural fragrances like IKON give back to the planet with purposeful actions.
The key to sustainability in fragrance is to recycle and replace natural ingredients rather than simply taking from the environment. By responsibly sourcing and working locally, IKON ensures its fragrances are made with love for you and for the planet.
