Our Core Sustainability Pillars

We craft skincare that’s clean, sustainable, and planet friendly, without compromising high-performance or quality.

Plastic Neutral Commitment

We recover as much plastic from the environment as we use, through our partnership with rePurpose. We support Project Anant Pranay (see below) to offset our plastic waste production.

Zero-Waste Oils Program

90% of the by-product from cold-pressing our seeds to create our face oils is not wasted: it’s transformed into nutrient-rich powders for supplements and plant-based proteins. 

CLEAN-GLOW Recycling Program

We recycle customer returns and other beauty packaging waste through our partnership with Pact Collective. 

Planet-First Packaging

Thoughtfully designed using FSC paper and cardboard, eco-friendly inks, recycleable varnishes, and post-consumer recycled plastics

CRUELTY-FREE

An important pillar to sustainability and planet care is also caring for animals. We are certified cruelty-free with Leaping Bunny and PETA.

  • ZERO WASTE OIL PROCESS

    Sunday Riley was ranked the #1 face oil brand* in the US prestige skincare market according to Circana retail tracking service, and with that comes a responsibility to produce sustainably. Our Zero Waste Oil Process ensures that 90% of the seed not used for oil isn’t wasted: it’s transformed into nutrient-rich powders for supplements and plant-based proteins for animal and pet use.

  • PLASTIC NEUTRAL

    We’re proud to be Plastic Neutral. Since 2022, we’ve partnered with rePurpose Global and other organizations to recover as much plastic as we use, ensuring ethical and traceable impact. Our product LCAs are regularly updated to monitor plastic use and support our ongoing commitment to a plastic-neutral future.

    How Does Sunday Riley Formulate to Respect the Barrier?

    • HIGHEST QUALITY ACTIVES

      We work exclusively with a small group of trusted ingredient suppliers in countries like the USA, Japan,  France, and Switzerland, regions known for their precision, purity, and regulatory excellence. We don’t use commodity-grade ingredients or open-source raw materials. This level of sourcing helps us create formulas that are clinically effective yet barrier-conscious, even for the most sensitive skin.

    • NO SYNTHETIC FRAGRANCES

      Synthetic fragrance is one of the most common triggers for barrier irritation. That’s why we avoid synthetic fragrances in our sensitive skin formulas - and when we do use scent, it’s plant-based, minimal, thoughtful, and tested for tolerability.

    • BALANCED, CLEAN FORMULAS

      We formulate with precision, not excess -choosing ingredients that serve your skin. Every product is intentionally balanced to deliver visible results while supporting the barrier, avoiding harsh additives, sensitizers, or unnecessary fillers. It's not just about what's left out - it's about how every element works together to calm, restore, and perform. Read more about our Clean formulas,here.
