We view packaging as an ecosystem.
Recycled, recyclable, compostable, reusable.
We are committed to caring for both our bodies and the environment.
Our goal is to be a low-impact company and to treat Mother Earth with the respect she deserves. Plants are at the heart of Botnia, and we grow our own plants to create the finest skincare products possible and to be responsible stewards of the earth.
That's why packaging is an essential part of the equation. We believe that the packaging of our products should be just as eco-friendly as the products themselves. We carefully choose our packaging materials to minimize waste and reduce our carbon footprint.
We thank you for caring as much about the environment as we do. Our hope is that you feel proud when you use Botnia Skincare, not just because of your glowing skin, but also because of your positive impact on the environment.

Aluminum Caps
When your Botnia aluminum bottle arrives, swap the cap for your plastic pump or spray top. Remember to remove and discard the paper liner inside the cap before recycling the aluminum cap. Once the bottle is empty, recycle it to help it re-enter the recycling system and contribute to a greener planet.

Aluminium Bottles
Aluminum is lightweight, durable, and infinitely recyclable. The recycling of aluminum requires less than 5% of the energy needed to produce the primary aluminum. Approximately 75% of all aluminum ever produced still remains in the material loop today. These bottles are PCR aluminum: certified as 100% post-consumer recycled (recycled after use by the final consumer).

Plastic pumps
Plastics are part of our world, but that doesn't mean our packaging has to be status quo. Our plastic pumps are sold separately, so if you want to pass on plastic, you can! We think of plastics as forever things: with some TLC they can be reused with your bottles again and again.
Recyclable pump: This pump has been created in a truly mono-material configuration and designed to be widely recyclable.
Spray pump: This atomizing sprayer comes with a clear PP hood. Reuse or landfill.
Treatment pump: This treatment pump has a number of components: clear PP cap, spring-loaded pump, cap, and dip tube. Reuse or landfill.

With proper care, our plastic pumps can be used repeatedly with your bottles, helping to extend their lifespan and reduce waste.

Pouches
To properly dispose of our face mask pouches, place them in a composting bin. Our face mask pouches feature a paper exterior and compostable substrate of polylactic acid (PLA), a corn-based material made from fermented plant starch. The pouches are compostable, which means they can disintegrate into non-toxic, natural elements.

Healthy Aluminum
Our aluminum is made out of infinitely recyclable aluminum with an alternative liner to the more traditional BPA liners to keep your skincare healthy. This interior liner has been found to be much safer while also preventing aluminum from leaching into the product. While there is no perfect liner yet, our BPA-NI liner is the best thing we’ve found as an alternative to traditional liners and meets all of the European standards for consumable goods, which tend to be much higher than cosmetics standards in the United States.
